Ozone VORTEX V2 Ultra-X Kite

Ozone Vortex V2 – Big Air & Kite Loop Kite

The Ozone Vortex V2 is the definitive big air and kite loop kite for intermediate to advanced twin-tip riders. Built on an Aluula Performance Airframe and refined with Ozone's OZ-CAD design system, it delivers the signature Vortex combination of fast turning, massive vertical lift and bulletproof hangtime — now taken further with six key updates that improve feel, durability and light-wind performance. Available in 11 sizes from 5m to 17m.

What's New in the Vortex V2

• Even More Direct Feel & Tighter Control – Re-worked canopy tension in each size alongside a stiffer leading edge delivers pinpoint handling feedback. Know exactly where the kite is at all times without ever needing to look at it.
• Even Longer Lasting Performance – New Anti-Flap Battens positioned on the underside of the canopy, with added reinforcements, reduce canopy wear and keep the kite performing like new for longer.
• Extra Light-Wind Firepower – Sizes 10m to 17m now use a lighter-weight double ripstop 46g canopy. By shaving off up to 150g, these big-sized kites rival the agility of smaller models and compete with foil kites for low-end power.
• New 17m Size – Designed for riders who refuse to stop riding hard when the wind is light. Currently the lightest 3-strut kite on the market.
• High Wind Durability – Sizes 9m and below retain the triple ripstop 55g Teijin TechnoForce canopy for ballistic strength on the biggest days.
• Further Enhanced Depower & Feeling – Small but meaningful tweaks to the Vortex's signature 16-point bridle system further refine the overall handling delight.

Designer's Insight

"The Vortex's high-aspect shape is similar to our pure big air machine, the Edge. While the Vortex also has a lot of depower and is awesome for any sort of boosting, the difference is that it has more handling response for megaloop performance — and even double and triple loops if you dare. The 3-strut design is a great base for agility which we combined with light weight materials and the unbeatable stiffness of the Aluula airframe. The Vortex feels assured in strong and gusty winds, while also injecting a huge amount of performance for those tricky light-wind sessions. Everything feels like it's working seamlessly as one block — and that's why you'll never lose connection to the kite."

Frequently Asked Questions

What level of rider is the Vortex V2 designed for?

The Vortex V2 is designed for intermediate to advanced riders looking to progress in big air and kite loops. Each size delivers superb low-end power, letting you get jumping sooner in lighter winds. Its predictable, forgiving character makes it ideal for confidently landing your first kite loops, right through to pushing mind-blowing double and triple megaloop combinations.

Which size should I choose?

The Vortex V2 is available in 11 sizes from 5m to 17m. Size selection depends on your weight and the typical wind conditions at your local spot. Use the wind range table above as a guide — all values are based on an average rider weight of 80 kg. The new 17m is specifically designed for those who want to push twin-tip tricks in foiling-only conditions.

What makes the Aluula airframe special?

Aluula is an ultra-high-performance composite material that is significantly lighter and stiffer than standard Dacron. This combination translates directly into faster turning, more responsive steering and better performance at both ends of the wind range — critical for megaloop and big air performance.

Can the Vortex V2 be used for disciplines other than big air?

While the Vortex V2 is purpose-built for big air and kite loops, its range of use scores show strong versatility: 10/10 for Advanced, Freeride and Big Air; 8/10 for Intermediate and Light Wind. It scores 3/10 for Freestyle Unhooked and 2/10 for Race, so it is primarily a jump and loop specialist.

Care & Maintenance

Rinse the kite with fresh water after every salt water session. Dry fully in the shade before packing — never store the kite damp. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when not in use. Inspect bridle lines, bladders and strut connections before each session. Store in the included Water Kite Technical Bag in a cool, dry place away from sharp objects.
