Foiling

I was very much not a fan of the previous North Orbit kites. I thought that they were unintuitive to fly, difficult to land softly with, and not fun unless they were noticeably overpowered. The complete overhaul of this kite for the 2026 model year improved basically every aspect of the kite making it fun to fly in any condition and improving the boosting and landing. One major thing that I noticed about this kite is that it overflies the rider very easily. This is a great characteristic of a boosting and looping kite is almost pre-positions its self for a heli-loop but for a non advanced rider I think it would pose some challenges. Basically, any jump over 5ish meters needs to be heli-looped to land softly because at the height the kite will have enough time to recover and overfly even with the bar pulled all the way in. I did manage to land softly on some 10+ meter jumps without a heli-loop but it took some pretty aggressive bar inputs at the last second, and I still had my fair share of hard landings with the kite front stalling behind me. If you are an intermediate to advanced rider that can send big jumps with heli-loop landings then this kite is awesome. It loops predictably and gives great boost and hang time. The North Orbit went from being a kite I had a hard time recommending to most people, to one of the first kites I grab on a windy day.

After using the Florence Marine Rashguard for the summer I can say I am very happy with it. The material is silky smooth and has cut down on both rash and sunburn. I probably 80 or more sessions in it. It has held up great and don't think I have any frayed or loose strings yet. The hood rolls up and out of the way easily if you don't want to wear it. Its comfortable when up though as well. Its nice to get the sun our of your eyes and off your face when you want to. There are some times when duck diving with hood up where the material around your ear gets soaked with water and blocks your hearing. You can quickly drain the water out by flicking your finger inside the hood.
I definitely use the board short loop and that helps it stay in place. If there was anything I would change would to make the waist a touch tighter around my waist but the loop works well too. Definitely don't se e myself buying any other rashies going forward. Materials and fit are excellent.

This wing performed high above my expectations. Super light and had amazing drift in front of you when catching swell on foil. It did not want to drop. Probably could have let go of it and it would have floated in front of me like someone controlling a drone. I weigh about 195 lbs and used a 5 meter in 18-25mph with 30 mph gusts. Definitely over powered during the gusts but could still hold it down due to the lightweight construction.

I like riding the ML in 65 Liters for both winging and prone foil surfing. It comes with a nice bag too. I am 6'-1" and 165lbs.

Perfect psi everytime. The air box is awesome. nice work Ride Engine

Great quality, nice pockets. great for kiteboarding

The Core Air really makes lightwind kite sessions super fun. Its nice to be able to drive upwind and practice tricks on the light days vs. just mowing the lawn back and forth on older heavier kites.

The Glide 220 tail pairs nice with the MA 1190 front wing for both winging and prone surfing smaller summer OBX swell.

I really enjoy riding the MA 1190 in a wide range of conditions across multiple disciplines . I prone surf it, kite it, and wing it. I am 6'-1 and 165lbs and find that the 1190 works for me across a wide range of wind speed and wave size.

This is a serious kite to consider if you are looking to cover all bases in big air and surf. The tunable center point on the bridle is a total game changer and will totally tweak the kites performance based on its corresponding setting. It is not the best big air kite in the world but has plenty of hang time if you ride it powered, and this kite drifts and loops depowered incredibly well in the surf. Quality control is bar none, Ozone puts out some of the cleanest and most reliable products in kiting, seriously worth considering if you are looking for a quiver killer kite.

Love the orange color of this. I use this leash for my wing board and it is very nice. Definitely prefer the ankle leash over the waist leashes so this one is a favorite for sure. Also really appreciate the double coil, it rarely gets tangled around and if it does it untangles with ease.

My surfboard is pretty low quality, I'll admit, so the wax never really wants to come off. This pickle was able to save me so much frustration and time. I have spent way more time in the past without the pickle and wanted to break my board in half by the time I was done. Would recommend to a friend for sure.

This kite is one of my favorites for sure! Some other kites I typically ride are the Slingshot Code V2 or the Core XR which are both great kites but this kite is what I would ride if I could only choose one. While I am not at an advanced enough level to take full advantage of all this kite has to offer, it is wonderful for me even at the level I do kite at. I think honestly the part I like the most about this kite is the range of wind I can take just one size out. For example, I have taken out the 12m of this kite in 16mph just to try to get a little session in during less than optimal conditions. I have also taken the 12m and had the wind go all the way up to 28mph and was able to depower it just a little bit and still ride comfortably. Overall a really fun kite and would definitely recommend to a friend.

We have been through a lot of wings in four years having both of us foiling. While at Real in April I talked with Nick, Matt, and Brendan about the Ozone Flow since it was time to upgrade.

The first one purchased was the Ozone 5.0 flow. This wing now has 50 session on it and still going strong. We also purchased the 5.7, 4.3, 3.6. We still have a used 2 times 2.9 that is still good from a different company.

The wings are so well balanced, they it right away made us better. Low end power is great, that 5.7 gets me up in 7-8 kts of wind on a HA780/Speed 180, 1.5 degree shim. I can carry that wing up to 15 kts comfortably. I weigh 77 KG. And using a FG 105 Ltr board.

The canopy is just the right tension and after all the time has not changed much.
Just in from a morning session on the 5.0 and wife on the 4.3. We discussed how easy it felt in 14-22 kts. Smooth, fast, go upwind well. Handles are so comfortable. Very well made. I would recommend if you free ride in waves, flat water, and need a fun, stable wing, that last a lot longer then some other brands we have owned, go for the Ozone Flow.

Picture from last week in 8 kts of wind, up and foiling for 45 min before touching down. Thanks to friend and foil buddy Dan for taking a few shots with his phon.

This is a huge update to the slinging. Love the boom and the improved balance. Easy as an all around wing and great hole shot to get you going.
