Ozone Zephyr V8 Ultra-X Kite

The light wind legend — fly when everyone else is watching from the beach.

The Ozone Zephyr V8 Ultra-X is the definitive light wind kite. Built for riders who want to maximise their time on the water when the breeze is soft, the Zephyr V8 Ultra-X combines an enormous 17m canopy with Ozone’s premium Ultra-X (Aluula composite) material to deliver a kite that is 17% lighter than the standard version — and that extra weight saving is everything in 6–10 knot winds.

The V8 update brings improved forward drive so the kite stays powered up and moving forward even in dying gusts, with less tendency to backstall — the biggest issue with traditional light wind kites. The result is a huge, usable 6–20 knot range that makes the Zephyr V8 Ultra-X equally at home on a freeride twin tip in a 15-knot sea breeze or foiling in sub-10-knot glassy flats.

Key Features

• Ultra-X (Aluula) Frame — 17% weight reduction for faster response, easier relaunch and improved flight in ultra-light wind.
• Huge Wind Range: 6–20 knots — From barely-there breezes to solid freeride sessions in one kite.
• Improved Forward Drive — Stays powered and drives forward even in gusty, inconsistent light wind.
• Minimal Backstall Tendency — The V8’s refined bridle geometry keeps the kite flying clean when the wind drops.
• Tight Radius Turning — Reactive, fun steering that belies its 17m size for a genuinely exciting session feel.
• Single Size: 17m — The Zephyr is purpose-built in one size — exactly the right tool for the job.
• Technical Bag Included — Premium carry bag for Australia’s long drives to remote light-wind spots.
