Forget limits. Normal rules don’t apply here.
This is the next level of tube kite performance. For the biggest jumps and most jaw-dropping hangtime, take a shot of Edge Ultra-X energy. With longer glides and refined handling, sending it big feels smoother, more natural — more you.
Incredibly light, stiff, stable and responsive, we made this for the die-hard Edge lovers who live to go massive, easily – however strong or light the wind.
Advancing from the Edge V12, the new Edge VT (Version Thirteen) features re-engineered elements of design to elevate speed, control, and feedback.
The result? A more rigid frame, improved feedback and a heightened sense of connection — like you and the kite are one.
QUICK COMPARISON:
Edge VT / Edge VT Ultra-X / Vortex Ultra-X:

The Edge VT Ultra-X is built on the Edge VT base, but is designed with the finest material selection for top performance:
• Full Aluula airframe (leading edge and struts (82g)
• Teijin double ripstop lighter weight canopy (46g)
The Aluula airframe, combined with the solid five-strut design, delivers:
With its ultra-light five strut airframe, the Edge VT Ultra-X weighs less than most three-strut kites, and delivers the extra benefit of added stability for the ultimate sense of control.
Whether you’re looking to comfortably manage storm force winds on small sizes, or enjoy greater light wind performance on the larger models – which is maximised in the lightweight Ultra-X designs – all aspects of the new Edge VT kites have been tuned to keep you feeling good on the water.
Burn less energy, ride faster with more control and perform at your best for longer.
The Edge has always been our benchmark for tube kite performance. Now in its 13th iteration with the Edge VT and VT Ultra-X versions, I believe the handling and feel have reached an entirely new level, without sacrificing any of the original Edge DNA.
Incorporating tweaks and lessons learned from the Vortex program, the new Edge has gained significant improvements in handling, which we know will add even more fun to your riding experience.
I’m confident our loyal Edge riders will appreciate the added agility these VT models deliver!

Having so much control over your riding speed makes approaching the perfect kicker far easier, whatever your level. The speed you can achieve with this kite combined with the vertical lift ensures that you go very high. This causes a lot of line tension which provides a lot of control and kite awareness in the air. It’s like it’s programmed to fly, even with basic kite movement.
I haven’t even got close to this kite’s top end yet and I’ve had some massive jumps already. I can’t wait to feel the full potential of this kite! Besides the fact that the low end is amazing, I notice that it can handle the strongest gusts well, and with all that amazing feedback in the air, it’s going to be the ultimate Cape Town weapon this season!

Despite its size, the kite is quite light and rock solid at the same time—no jellyfishing at all. It has strong upwind performance, allowing you to ride sharply into the wind at a decent speed with minimal lateral forces. According to WOO data, I managed an upwind angle of 56 degrees with a top speed of 47 kph. Even in marginal wind, it was easy to ride at high speed at all possible angles.

Ozone uniquely owns its own factory where all kites, wings, boards, hydrofoils, paragliders, speed wings and accessories are made. Guaranteeing hand checked quality control and the finest materials at every step, there are also excellent working conditions for all 1000 employees.
The future is now. All Ozone kite and wings are designed with our own highly advanced custom built CAD software that we control and modify with each new product design. Allowing for specifically tailored technical developments, our designers can maximise performance while also minimising waste.
Ozone kites and wings are crafted with exceptional precision using advanced laser technology to cut each panel individually in a single layer. This meticulous approach ensures consistent accuracy across all products, from entry level to high performance models. Our commitment to high standards in production reflects our dedication to delivering reliable, high-quality equipment for riders at every level.
Aluula can provide a tensile strength increase of as much as 38% compared to standard material construction, while tear strength is up to seven times greater.
Careful integration of Aluula can also deliver up to a 30% weight saving overall.
Teijin is the world’s leading supplier of technical performance materials for marine sports, setting the benchmark in quality with proven superiority in dynamic strength and durability.
Built with a double rip-stop material that is 17% lighter than conventional canopy, with an advanced coating to maintain strength, rigidity and durability. The reduction in weight translates to true performance advantages.
The Leading Edge features Transverse Sail Shaping creating a cleaner and tighter surface on the most important area of the aerofoil. The result is less turbulent airflow and longer skin adhesion, which positively effects the lift to drag ratio increasing overall performance.
NO pulleys, NO problems. We design all our inflatable kites without pulleys, to inherit the unique Ozone feeling and performance across our range.
The NEED for SPEED – High performance Technora bridle lines offer a vast reduction in parasitic drag – the Edge flies fast and accelerates quick enhancing performance and increasing range.
The Fast Flow One-Pump Inflation System makes set up and packing quick and easy. It features single point inflation/deflation and a high air flow rate between the Struts and Leading Edge, with clips to seal the hoses to prevent unwanted air flow in case of damage.
What’s on the inside counts too - we use top of the line materials and strategic internal reinforcements for increased strength and durability.
Overlap flat seam construction improves sail control resulting in an overall cleaner canopy.
Dacron reinforcements are used on all loaded areas for enhanced load distribution. This means all loads are spread evenly into the sail ensuring the kite flies and performs at its best.
Our Direct Connect construction method improves load distribution between the Leading Edge, Struts and Canopy. Struts are connected directly to the Leading Edge with internal and external reinforcements. This unique construction method ensures clean profiles are maintained with the optimum canopy tension.
The Leading Edge and Struts are reinforced in high stress areas to ensure the kite canopy remains in shape and performs at its best.
Leading Edge bumpers are often large and unnecessary cosmetic items. At Ozone we build our kites and wings for performance and durability using the best materials & components available. Any areas requiring scuff protection we use a lightweight durable material with superior abrasion resistance, while keeping a low profile in order to reduce drag and maintain performance.
Our bladders are constructed in-house with advanced custom built welding machines. Double layered sections are applied to any potential wear areas.
The Anti-Snag line deflectors prevent bridles and lines from tangling around the wing tip. Safety is increased when launching with a partner and water re-launch is made easier.
Customise your handling and bar pressure with the back line bridle attachments. Closer to the Leading Edge for slower turn speed and more bar pressure, or closer to the Trailing Edge for faster turn speed and less bar pressure.
Soft Battens strategically positioned along the Trailing Edge provide canopy support and reduce flutter, enhancing kite feedback to the rider and also reducing canopy material wear.
We work extensively during our R&D process to develop the size range to feel in tune with each other. Every kite has a unique bridle layout, individually tested and fine-tuned to maximize the feeling and performance.
Fool proof line connectors prevent incorrect rigging of the flying lines to the kite.

Do not ride the kite with the one pump clips undone. If you get a puncture the whole kite will deflate! Always close the one pump clips inside the neoprene covers after pumping up. Do not under inflate the kite or it will not perform to its designed trim and will not relaunch easily.
Always double check your lines before launching. Wrongly attached lines will stop the kite flying correctly and could therefore mean you have no control of the kite putting yourself in a dangerous situation.
The Quick Release is the primary connection to the kite. Make sure you connect to the Quick Release using the finger as shown in the pictures.
All riders should attach their Kite Leash to the Flag Out System. This is the small eyelet on the Stainless Steel Swivel Ring.
When the release is activated, the kite will flag out and fall to the water/ground.
In all situations make sure that all lines are clear of all working release systems and the kite leash is connected in the right way.
Riders performing unhooked tricks or who are more confident and have spent many hours Kiting can attach in Expert mode, where the loop part runs through the large eye of the steel ring. When letting go of the bar in Expert mode (without activating the release e.g. missed handle pass) the kite will depower but WILL NOT flag out.
Be aware in this situation, the Quick Release will be out of reach and can therefore not be released. When hooked in and activating the Quick Release the steel ring automatically slips off and the kite will flag out.
Activate the Quick Release as shown in the pictures. Providing your leash is attached to the flag out system the kite will 100% depower.
In the case of an extreme emergency where you need to completely release from the kite, use the quick release on the kite leash. This will completely detach the kite and control system from the user, and could therefore hit anything or anyone downwind causing damage, serious injury or death. RIDE RESPONSIBLY.
WARNING:
NEVER LAUNCH A KITE DIRECTLY DOWNWIND OF YOU IN THE POWER ZONE!
Instruct your partner on how to handle the kite and agree on a sign together for the release and landing. They should hold the kite in the center of the leading edge at the edge of the window and double check that all lines are clear. It is possible for lines to get wrapped around the tip so make sure they understand that all lines must run clearly from each attachment point.
Before you give the signal to release make sure you are 100% confident that all lines are clear. Then give your pre-agreed signal for your partner to release the kite and gently launch the kite to the top of the window.
Landing the kite use the same principles >> Most importantly keep your head clear, be smooth and controlled with the kite and land before you are too tired or overpowered.
WARNING:
Make sure you grab the correct side of the bar
– we colour code the bar red for left.
Once the kite is face down with the leading edge touching the water:
NOTE: If the kite somehow lands nose down but with the tips facing away, pull one of the rear leader lines to help the kite blow around to the correct position then follow the steps above for getting the kite re-launched.
If you get in trouble out in the water, there is a simple way to self rescue yourself.
Firstly kill the kite’s power with the flag out system by releasing the chicken loop. The kite will flag out and drop to the water.
Lines are dangerous in this situation so make sure you wind the flag out frontline around the bar at least 10x to disable the kite. Then wrap all the lines together onto the bar as you normally would. You will end up at the kite ideally with the lines wrapped tightly and neatly on the bar. Make a few half hitches to secure the lines.
Once you have got hold of the kite you can drop the bar. When you have reached the kite, take hold of the bridle lines at each wingtip. Hold both bridals to use the kite as a sail to get back to shore safely.
To release the line from the cleat teeth, first pull out and down to unlock the line from the teeth, then set the trimmer line to the desired amount.
Pull the trimmer line down to de-power the kite. This is needed if you are overpowered, for unhooked riding, or if you are walking on the beach or snow.
Release the trimmer line away from you to increase kite power.

2: HALF POWER
3: FULL DEPOWER
All lines should be maintained as close to equal length as possible. Flying lines can stretch over time, generally the front lines stretch more as these take the majority of the load.
To check your lines, unwind the lines from the bar and have a partner hold the lines even at the bar end. Taking hold of the lines at the other end, pull on the lines to check they are even. If the lines are not even you may either;
1) Stretch out the shorter lines. Attach the shorter lines to a car hitch or something very solid. Then take hold of the bar and pull with enough force to stretch the line. Do this to any lines that are shorter and re-check that all 4 lines are equal length.
2) Use the Leader Line trimming knots located underneath the bar ends.
Kites are very technical products and are used in the harsh marine environment. If you use common sense and care for your equipment it will look after you and keep its factory trim for hundreds of hours.
Never pump up your kite on a rough surface which may have sharp objects.
Be very careful with your flying lines. If you catch them on a rock or sharp object thoroughly check each one and we recommend you replace your lines. Also make sure there are no knots in the lines. Knots weaken the line by up to 50%.
Once you have pumped up secure your kite with sand or use sandbags – Do not use heavy objects or even your board, the fins have been known to rip kites.
Never leave your kite on the beach un-used for long periods of time in the sun and wind. The trailing edge flapping and sand hitting the sail cloth will severely shorten the kite’s life. UV also shortens the lifespan of a kite so pack away when not using your kite.
Never pack away your kite wet, only when 100% dry – This will damage the cloth and its coatings and may lead to dye running. This is not valid for warranty.
Never leave your kite inside your car in direct sunlight.
Always clean your control system with fresh water after every session, and reload/release the Quick Release to check the system is functioning correctly. Store your control system with the Quick Release open. Reload the next time you set up your kite.
When inflating the bladders always inflate slowly and ensure the bladders are inflating correctly in the struts or leading edge. If you see a twist or something looks strange STOP pumping immediately and check bladders. They may need re-inserting to ensure they inflate properly.
We supply a repair kit with the following contents:
1. A4 pieces of sail cloth
2. A4 piece of Dacron
3. 1 x length of 50mm wide sticky black repair tape
4. 6” x 3” Tear-Aid bladder repair patch
5. 2 Alcohol wipes
6. One pump clip / hose / hose retainer
If you have a major repair like a tear across panels, struts or the leading edge take the kite to your local sail repair shop. For minor tears and bladder punctures you can easily fix these yourself with the repair kit supplied with the kite.

Push-away quick release with an innovative one-step Click-In reload function that is incredibly intuitive. The release handle fits comfortably in the hand, it is quick and easy to activate the release by pushing the handle away. A self-positioning release mechanism locates automatically, ready to be re-loaded by simply ‘clicking’ in the loop. The Click-In Loop is AFNOR NF S52-503 certified.
Colour coded 500kg front / 300kg back lines are precision cut, pre-stretched, spliced and sewn in our own production facility to guarantee accuracy. We use the highest quality Bio-based Dyneema® – this material has the same performance as conventional Dyneema® with a carbon footprint that is 90% lower than generic HMPE fiber.
Our modular design makes adding or removing extensions quick and easy via removable pigtail end connectors.
3D pressed EVA with ergonomic shaping and a lightly sanded finish provide the ultimate bar grip. It is colour coded with the leader lines and flying lines for an added visual safety feature.
What’s the first thing you do when you get in a car? You click in your seatbelt, hearing that ‘click’ sound makes you feel secure that you are safely buckled up, and you know instinctively how to release it. The design of our innovative quick release system, the Click-In Loop, was inspired by the same principle. In the same way fastening your seatbelt has become a natural action when getting into a car, riders should activate and reload their release systems before and after every use. Although this important safety check is often overlooked, checking your release before each session will ensure it is functioning properly. We developed the Click-In function to be simple and intuitive, so activating and reloading will become second nature.
All riders should attach their Kite Leash to the Flag Out System. This is the small eyelet on the Stainless Steel Swivel Ring.
