If you’re into kitesurfing like I am, you know how much the right gear can change everything. I’ve been riding the Enduro series since the first version dropped, and hands down, the Enduro V5 is my favourite. You can feel and see all the effort Ozone’s put into this kite over the years—it’s the result of constant refining and dedication, and it shows in its performance.

I’ve watched the Enduro adapt to different riding styles over time, and while every version brought something fresh, the V5 just takes things to a whole new level. Ozone made some brilliant upgrades, like the 16-point bridle system and that super clean canopy—it’s sleek, but more importantly, it feels amazing out on the water.

What stands out for me is how stable it is. It’s got that solid feel in the air without putting too much pressure on the bar, which means I can stay out longer without wearing myself out. And the way it glides upwind? It’s so smooth and effortless you hardly have to think about it. Whether flying upwind or playing in the waves, the V5 is responsive and reliable.

Even though the Enduro has always been an all-around kite, Ozone took some ideas from the Vortex to make this version even better for freeride and big air. So, if you love throwing huge jumps but still want a kite that can handle any condition, this is the one. It keeps that signature Enduro versatility—you can switch from big air to freestyle to wave riding without missing a beat.

Whether you’re into big air or freestyle, the V5 does it all. I keep reaching for it no matter the conditions. It’s my go-to kite now, no question.

Being part of the launch video process was an adventure in itself. I was in touch with people all over the world—Paulino from Portugal, Jesse from Hawaii, and me with the Borgi family, Tomy and Simon, in Brazil—brainstorming and planning the video for the kite’s release. Seeing how passionate everyone was about this kite and the story we wanted to tell was inspiring.

Ozone’s created something special here. It’s not just another kite; it results from years of hard work and innovation. It captures everything I love about kitesurfing—freedom, fun, and that sense of adventure. Whether chasing waves, going for big air, or cruising, the Enduro V5 will take your sessions to the next level.

If you’re after a kite that can do it all, this is the one. Trust me, once you ride it, you’ll get it. Get out there and let the Enduro V5 show you what it’s all about!

Stay tuned for some exciting videos coming out over the next few weeks!
