REFLEX DESIGN BASE
Anyone who wants to feel the thrill of kitesurfing with as little complication and as much
progression as possible, with a product built tough enough for heavy use.
Featuring Vortex three-strut shaping DNA and a highly tuned 16-point bridle system, the
Reflex feels instinctively responsive and smooth.
Featuring our durable Teijin Triple Ripstop dacron airframe, the Reflex offers a little softer
and more playful all-terrain riding experience compared to the Vortex. A thicker material than
Aluula (used on the Vortex airframe), Dacron is also naturally more resistant to abrasion
when scuffed on the beach.
With 25 years of in-house factory ownership, our team has focused their expertise on
ensuring that all of our products are always born light and genetically strong.
No matter which materials we choose for their specific performance benefits, when you have
an Ozone product in your hands, you will always have the advantage of excellent
aerodynamic flying characteristics.
The Reflex offers a mix of strength, performance and light weight flying characteristics to suit
the riding style and demands of most modern kiteboarders.

VORTEX |
SHAPE AND MATERIALS |
|
| 3 strut dacron airframe - more hard wearing and with a less demanding ride feel. Offers more accessibility than the Vortex. | 3 strut Aluula airframe - feels stiffer and sharper, with a constantly more switched-on feel. |
| Less aspect ratio offers more low end power. The Reflex is still considered a relatively high-aspect design. | More aspect ratio for faster forward flight and more top end performance. |
ACCESSIBILITY AND HANDLING |
|
| Softer dacron airframe also allows for more material twist under load, which means the Reflex turns more tightly through a loop with less power. | Ultra stiff Aluula airframe with a slightly higher-aspect ratio offers extreme stability and consistent handling across the whole wind range. More drive and pull through a slightly wider loop. The ‘magic’ second lift and superbly reliable catch are more pronounced on the Vortex. |
IDEAL RIDER |
|
Beginner to advanced |
Intermediate to pro level |
| Capable of feeding the addiction of any kitesurfer, however long or limited their experience. Mixes high performance power and handling with comfort and accessibility. Designed to make big-air twin-tip riding progression feel natural and fun. Although the primary design focus was twin-tip performance, the Reflex’s tighter turns and softer feel also make it an excellent cross-discipline kite for wave and foil sessions. |
Full-on performance, new school big air kite for riders that want to feel totally connected to the kite. Imagine riding with stiffer suspension - you get more response, but it demands a more committed, generally faster riding style. Designed with high-end materials for rock solid stability and reliability in even the most extreme conditions. Being very light in weight and with super responsive, direct handling, the Vortex is also a fantastic kite for foiling. |
