CONNECT WATERV2 HARNESS

ERGONOMIC  The ergonomic fit has been optimised with a slightly higher midsection to increase back support without restricting movement.

FLEXIBLE  The Connect Water V2 is flexible in all directions so you feel completely unrestrained, this gives you extra freedom during manoeuvres and allows you to maintain a comfortable body position at all times.

STRONG  The internal panels have been reworked to stiffen specific areas subject to higher loads, combined with full-length webbing between the spreader bar attachment points for optimum load distribution and extra strength.

COMFORTABLE  Ultra-soft foam padding and an outer neoprene layer provide comfort with no rubbing points. Riding in board shorts is a rash/rub free experience thanks to the sleek lines and precise sculpted shape.

TEST Ozone Hyperlink V2 11m 2020

At a Glance

Ozone have been the brand to watch of late, this dedicated small group of passionate riders have been pumping out incredible products for a long time. In recent years their innovation seems to have taken things up a notch or two. The Hyperlink is a case in point. Launched a couple of years ago, the kite aimed to bridge the gap between inflatable kites and foils.

When I first rode the Hyperlink V1 I was seriously impressed, this year the Hyperlink V2 is fresh to the shelves boasting an all-new double ripstop material that is lighter and features a new coating to help it shed water faster. The focus this year has been to improve the overall performance of the kite while maintaining that classic Hyperlink feel.

Billed as a genuinely versatile kite, it can be set up as a four-line Closed Cell kite or switched to a five-line Open Cell mode for riding on the snow. This second mode allows for easy landing and relaunch on the land and slightly faster inflation, it’s an optional extra that is worth thinking about if you ride on hard stuff as well as the ocean.

Bar Ends

The Hyperlink V2 is aimed at the rider who wants to do everything, from freeride to foil, big air to snowkiting, it’s even suitable for a bit of freestyle too. The elephant in the room, of course, is that it is a foil kite; however, the design team have worked hard to ensure the only time you’ll realise this is when you are launching and landing.
