from 1924 reviewsI 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.

I have flown both the Dacron and Aluula versions of this kite in varying sizes. The Enduro V5 is a great all around performer that flies predictably and is easy to handle in either construction. The only thing I found lacking in the Dacron version was that it didn't jump as well as I wanted it to. The Aluula version delivered much improved jumping performance, especially when ridden overpowered. As with other Aluula kites, the wind range of the Ultra-X is improved on both the high and low end. I would say that the average rider could easily ride +1 or maybe even +2 sizes up from what they would normally ride with this kite and enjoy it. At 135lbs I ride the 14m in 18-20mph winds and find it pretty manageable

I wing foiled with the F800 in light winds on flat water and really liked it. My only real complaint with winging the One Lock Glide series was that it felt like it took some effort to get up on foil and that it would come off foil pretty quickly without keeping it powered. I was worried that taking the Flow out in light wind would have similar results but I was pleasantly surprised. There are HA foils on the market that perform better, but it was pretty efficient through the water, stable at speed, easy to turn, and recovered well from breaching. I think if you are a proficient foiler then you could skip the Glide and move straight to the Flow. Also the One Lock system is pretty sick, super easy to break down and no hardware (other than the mounting hardware), or tools to deal with. I think One Lock is a must buy for anyone foiling behind a boat. So easy to put together and break down. Just take it apart, put the covers on, and throw it in the bilge storage. No need to chase hardware around the boat or have someone on foil holding duty while its sitting in the boat taking up room.

The Code Zero is my go-to foil kite. I think some of the other foil kites on the market tend to fly like plastic bags, pretty slow to react and lots of flutter on the trailing edge. If you are a great kite foiler then these kites are probably exactly what you're looking for since they drift better. But as an intermediate kite foiler (on a good day) I find that I want my foil kite to fly like a kite. The Code Zero reacts quickly to input, relaunches well, and down loops predictably when I need a bit of power going downwind. The trade off here is that it doesn't drift as well as other foil kites I've flown and has a tendency to back stall when you ride towards it. The 14m Code Zero is also a great light wind option, it relaunches well and has decent power.
