Hi FulvioS,

It would make no sense whatsoever for Ozone to bring out "another" Big air kite. They already have the Vortex and the Edge which both cover the wide spectrum of big air styles very nicely.

The Reflex is designed for the average rider who wants to be able to jump respectfully high jumps, do loops and ride waves from time to time. It is not specialized in any particular area. They already have excellent specifically focused kites in most genre's.

Although it has Vortex DNA, I think you're going to see it is more of a swiss army knife than the Enduro was ever going to be. There is a movement away from the open "C", square wingtip kites as the style it was made for is almost gone.

We have the Ozone Reflex in demo and are just waiting for the sunshine to warm the place up and create some nice seabreezes. They are available to demo as of when they arrived weeks ago. Maybe you can be the one who writes the review?

Hey Nikmcc,

Reo bladders are usually replaced when the valve necks break on the old V1 series bladders. Not because the glue fails or they start leaking, but by the 90 degree valves get brittle and just break off.


a new set of v2 bladders keeps them doing for many years. One of the longest lasting kites on the market.


enjoy with confidence.

Hi All,


I’ve been upgrading and restoring my Northshore 38 and have finally got around to focusing on the compass on the binnacle.


the “glass” had become hazy and slightly yellowed which annoyed me. I was going to replace it until I saw the price of them.


figuring the “glass” was actually an acrylic, I thought I’d try an Automotive headlight restorer. I bought the Turtkewax product for $49 and disassembled the compass. Followed the instructions but started with the third finest polishing pad, the the finest before polishing and finishing with a protectant wipe.


I wish I’d taken a before “picture”, but I think the photo of the restored compass says something.


$50 and an hour of my time. 🤩

Hi Everyone,

Thanks to all the good people who sent in CV's, called and dropped in. We were a bit overwhelmed by the response to be honest. We had so many super keen young kiters wishing to be part of our team and it made it hard to select the right person. We will keep everyone's details and contact some of you for some casual work opportunities as we approach the season.

Eventually we selected a local, young lady who has been kiting for a few years, and has retail experience. We welcome Lisa to the team and wish her a fun and rewarding time with us. Lisa will be starting around mid August so say "hi" and make her feel welcome next time you are in the store.

In the meantime, we are prepping the new systems, loading the website, and getting ready to receive some of the most exciting new gear ever. It's going to be a great season and we look forward to greeting our returning, and new customers in the very near future. Thanks again to everyone who applied and spread the word. 😍

Yewww!

Darren, Wendelien and Lisa (and Fred the shop dog)

Hi UB,

lithium batteries aren’t all created equal. Check out Will Prowse on YT. He pulls down most brands and investigates the inner workings.
