Epic Big Air. Rock-Solid Stability. Version Thirteen.
The Ozone Edge VT is the thirteenth iteration of Ozone’s benchmark big air kite — eighteen years of Edge heritage distilled into one definitive machine. The Version Thirteen incorporates re-engineered elements inspired by the Vortex program, including refined bridle geometry and arc updates that elevate speed, control, and feedback across all riding styles. Whether you’re chasing massive boosts, threading technical loops, blasting upwind on a foil, or simply cruising, the Edge VT is engineered to perform at the highest level.
A slimmer leading edge reduces drag and accelerates kite rotation through loops while maintaining structural integrity at high speeds. Adjusted sail tensions deliver a tighter, cleaner canopy that eliminates flutter. The Vortex-inspired 16-point pulley-less bridle distributes load evenly across the entire frame for rock-solid stability and smooth, predictable power delivery — fast but never intimidating; robust yet accessible.
Key Features

Construction
The Edge VT canopy uses Teijin Technoforce Triple Ripstop at 55 g/m² for exceptional tear resistance and durability. The airframe construction varies by size: 6–9m kites use full Teijin Triple Ripstop Dacron on both the leading edge and all five struts; 10–13m kites feature a hybrid construction with a Triple Ripstop Dacron leading edge and 125 g Performance Dacron struts; 15–18m sizes use full 125 g Performance Dacron throughout for maximum efficiency in light airs. Bladders are custom in-house welded with double-layered wear areas for extended service life.
Why We Recommend It
The Ozone Edge is one of the most trusted big air platforms in kiteboarding, and Version Thirteen is its most refined expression yet. The Vortex-derived bridle and arc updates bring noticeably quicker, more intuitive handling without sacrificing the Edge’s signature stability and hangtime. It’s the kite that covers every scenario: jumping, looping, freeriding, foiling, and everything in between. If you want a single kite that excels at big air while remaining genuinely accessible, the Edge VT is the benchmark to beat.
