My Comments:

Myself and a teamrider mate of mine Nath, were given the opportunity to get a ride on the new Ozone Reo prototype surf kites over the last week at Gnaraloo and "the spot" Gero.

Although it is probably a little pointless in raving on about all the finer points and characteristics of the kites at this stage as it is still a prototype and may be tweaked a little more before finally released for production soon.

What I liked:
Power was good, a bit more than the Catalyst but a little les than the Edge. and doesn't develop power as much in the way the Edge does (apparent wind)

Doesn't stall at all, just drifts back nicely as you make your way down the wave, either hooked or unhooked.

Turns fast if you want it to, but takes a bit more effort than the Catalyst so wont inadvertantly turn if you don't want it to.

So stable and predictable, just always seemed to be in the right spot for me.

Can't speak of the new bar as we flew them on the old bars.

I loved it! Sorry for the lack of depth of review, as some aspects may change prior to final release and design approval. Nate and I both agreed, it was as good as could be and couldn't think of anything that may need to be improved after three days of riding them.

I can't wait to see the new bar and the completed kites
