Which one goes better with little wind? swing v4 or strike v4
For sure the strike is more powerful and easier to create power and pump. The swing trades range to excels when flagged out. The strike gets you going easier
4,5 really? I just read the advice on gong: To be comfortable we recommend removing 25 to your weight in order to define the ideal volume. For example on the Lance: If I weigh 65kg, I take 25 off, I get to 40. So I’m going for the Lance 5’0. If I weigh 75kg, I take 25, I get to 50. I go for the Lance 5’4. If I weigh 85kg, I take 25, I get to 60. I go for the Lance 5’8. They dont even have 4,5...
Nice video by the way! not so much info out there so this helped so much. Do you think gong could be a good place to start as a begginer?
Choosing size is all subjective to your size, local conditions, previous experience and how steep you want to make the learning curve vs how often you want to change your kit. Watching back our video nearly a year after filming it, I should have spent more time chatting about board size. I would say going 4'5 / 35L is suitable for an 'average' sized person to learn in average conditions who gets plenty of water time and doesn't mind a challenge. It's probably a bit optimistic for most and not the easy path to learning. If you are looking for an easier path, now days i would recommend going up to something like 5' x 40L. But i'd advise people to be careful going too big when learning, because not only is 50L+ hard to duck dive, but you will also find it hard to control and pump once on foil, particularly if it's an older, wider design of board
I'm looking for a mid ratio foil that carves well...better this s1100 or a phantom 980?
The Phantom has a better rail to rail roll and cares lovely when you have wing or wave power, but it's thicker profile compromises speed and glide. I'd recommend the SS or all round versatility and fun in waves and flat, comfy carving or flat on or off a wave face. The Phantom wins if you want good roll at the cost of glide
Well explained, why make it easy, that takes out all the fun learning, haha. Larry
Whete could i try this sport?
Man, yours are the most detailed, precise and in depth review of Ozone kites on youtube, thank You
Thanks, hope they're helpful. Feel free to reach out if you have any specific questions
@@poseidonwatersportsuk Yes absolutely! tnx again
141 and 161 tails are also an option. Probably better suited to the 1100.
yeah, i feel the Carve 'w' tail pairs really well with this foil for people looking for a slightly looser roll
@@poseidonwatersportsuk so for ss1100 carving better the c200 or 161w tail?
The C200 and the 161w are in the same family and feel very similar. The 200 is a bigger size so offers more stability at the cost of drag, it comes in XXS fuse to loosen it up. The 160/161 size is a great upgrade from the C200 if you want a loose roll with good speed. Coming on the XS fuse it feels more locked in at first, but with time this length will allow you to drive it harder through a turn. The 160 lifts stronger at low speed, the 161w is more comfortable at high speed. Hope that helps
hi chris nice work! please advise which pump foil board goes with a wing 🪽 ok ?
Hey Danny, unsure what you mean, give us a call and I can advise
I am fairly familiar with all the v1 7 Seas. The 1200 was my go to foil for over a year. I then tried the 1400 and ended up really enjoying it and selling the 1200 as my mid wind foil is the sk8 950. I have ridden the 1500 v2 and it was very familiar. It is a bit better than the 1400 with better glide, lower stall with similar handling. I use in the 8 to 15 knot range and it helped me learn tacks.
So good for that early lift and wide speed range!
Great review Chris, I have the 1100 myself as a kind of 1 foil does all. Great for light days with the great low end and seems ok for me when it gets windy. Nice to know it’s ok for prone surfing, and downwind ( did you mean wing or sup foil ) or maybe both. I was recommended the 210 dw tail for the best glide. What’s your thoughts. Thanks 🤩
Nice to chat the other day. The 210 is lifty and stable, great for early lift, stability and cruising. For sure the smaller tails will be harder to ride, but if you want more speed and glide the smaller DW tails are great. The carve tails are lovely if you want to loosen up the roll.
I’ve got a 4 metre it’s awesome, so easy to use 👌
Great review Chris, are you going to review the Origin, it would be interesting to see what you think 👍
Thanks for watching, hope it’s helpful. I haven’t tried to he Orgin, heard it’s grunty! Would gladly do a review when I get hold of one 🤙
Well done! No extra words - what a relief!!!!!
Thanks for watching. Happy to help
Greate video, very well explained. That's exactly what I was looking for, thanks
Awesome, glad it helped, enjoy the prone journey
Nice, agreed. It’s a smart move for F-one to give the interchangeable options of the v4 models this year so it can suit all tastes
In terms of in the waves which would you take for a session if you could only choose one? The F-One Swing or Ozone Flow?
Good but tough question, both are great and neither would disappoint. I feel flagged out on the wave - the swing’s behaviour takes slight lead. Sheeted in heading back out for the next one or versatility to dabble in other riding styles - the flow has a little more range and ease of use. If I were at a spot with variable conditions or long rides back up wind I’d choose the flow. For full glory wave riding with sheeted in compromise I’d choose the swing. Hope that helps. Welcome to call the shop for advice anytime 🤙
I was really impressed with my new V4 4.5m Strike. Used it recently in 20 kts with an HA 780. One thing that's often overlooked in the current trend towards "hard handles" with all brands...is the trade off...forearm fatigue! I think F-One nailed it with their default semi rigid softer handles as I was able in powered up conditions to just keep going whereas with my 5.3m XPS (hybrid carbon hard handles) in lighter conditions...my forearms were shot after 5 minutes.
Agreed. There's always a trade off and i feel it's all personal preference with handles. Personally I enjoy softer handles when riding powered up in longer sessions, but rigid is great for that extra feel and fingertip control
Great review. I’ve owned most of those 8 versions and love the Zephyr freestyle machine. Great for practicing loops and unhooked as so stable. My go to kite in 13-16 knots. The new RX is just awesome. Everyone should own a Zephyr 😊
Yeah it’s a standout, often imitated, never beaten. The top end has always been impressive but this new V8 is next level
Thanks Chris for your review, I am still loving the images from your spot on all the videos! Amazing place, hope you are having a great summer.
Cornwall is a special place, full of gems. Summer came late, but feels so good. Well done with this Zephyr, she’s a beaut. Hope all good your side 🤙
This looks great, I hope it's a super event! I see you have the Generic Foiling Podcast doing a live event - those guys are awesome, love the podcast. I live in Hawaii and almost thought about going over just for GFP but then common sense kicked in hehehe. Cheers!
Cheers for the message. Yeah the GFP boys are great, stoked to have them join the fun. You would be very welcome but don’t blame you for not jumping on a plane, maybe next year 😀
Nice review! Whats your size Chris?
Cheers, hope it helps. Think I’m about 5’8 x 85kg
Great riding and filming Chris!
Cheers 👊 the local has been delivering recently. Tom Earl on the drone, he knows how to get the shot
I have the bungee harness lines I use on my Wasp v2. What sort of harness lines would you use for the Flow?
I feel it's a preference decision with harness lines. Bungee is great on the flow if you like a a minimalist, hidden line. Personally i prefer PU coated line for the ease of hooking in and out when it's high wind. You can attach the lines straight onto the flow handles, so ones with webbing / velcro straps would look tidiest
yeeeewwwwwwww!
Thanks!
Thank you, great review
Cheers, hope it helps, it’s a great wing
Excellent footage. It looked very stable flagged out. Your abilities to manage the wing swinging in front and behind were very impressive!
Thanks. Kit makes all the difference. Some wings really get in the way but this Flow does exactly what you want and sure makes wing handling easier
How does it compare to the Armstrong XPS?
Quite similar, they have equally good balance sheeted in and flagged out and both really comfortable and versatile to ride when blasting upwind or riding down the wave face. The Flow probably handles turbulent wind slightly better with its frame flexing and spilling surges of power. Whilst the XPS probably has a slightly wider wind range with its more rigid design making it deform less when pumping or overpowered. The main difference in feeling is in the handles. The flow has a very firm and rigid, narrow diameter tube handle, which lends its self to a tighter grip and opens up more instant manoeuvrability. Whilst the flat handles on the XPS lend them self more to lighter movements with fingertip holding. Neither would disappoint for most riding styles. I’d recommend going flow for gusty spots or people who like to hang off a very rigid handle. The xps might win if you like a firmer frame which has a more finger tip control.
The Ozone team had a demo day last week at 2XS, I took out the 5m Flow and I loved it. I found the power in the launch very smooth and the wing never fluttered, just what you'd expect from Ozone.
They are silky smooth and versatile. Heard you had some fun conditions for that day in Witterings too. Welcome to give us a shout if you want more info or want to grab your own 🤙🤙
👍
Thanks a lot for the precise info.!!! I have a question, If I buy my first setup from a brand, let's say f-one, then I can use wings from other brands with that mast, fuselage and stabilizer.?? Can I mix the equipment or I need to keep buying the same brand in order to improve my setup.?!? Thanks in advance.!!!! 🤙🤙🤙
good question, boards have a universal track so you don't need the same brand board and foil, but should be aware that mast position is important and some brands like to fit further forwards or back in relation to your rear foot, and whilst there is a small amount of adjustment you should research to avoid a clash / poor tuning due to opposing positions. All foil systems are unique to the brand and whilst they will be designed modular so you can change components, the fittings differ hugely between brands and parts are not compatible with each other. Ie. an F-one foil will not fit on an armstrong mast. There is a growing amount of after market adaptors to bridge components, but realistically you should take your time choosing which foil system you invest into as once you've put money in the mast, fuse, wings and bolts you are committed to this brand unless you want to start fresh. Welcome to give us a call for advise on making these choices
@@poseidonwatersportsuk thank you so much, I’ll be taking all of these in consideration in order to make the right choice, I’ll let you know how it goes.!! 🤙🤙🤙
How does it compare to the new armstrong HAs for Prone pumping and turning? How do the sizes compare? Cheers
Both lovely foils, very rolly, loose and surf focused, but quite a different feel. In short the Sk8 is much faster and more lively, accelerating out of a turn with stacks of performance and grip even in it's top end. But this comes at the compromise of a higher and more abrupt stall speed which can be quite sensitive when pumping at lower speed. (Note - the new tails really help improve bottom end forgiveness) The new HA has possibly the best bottom end performance and ease of any surf foil in the market at the moment. It is super easy and forgiving to pump at all speed and doesn't drop out. However this comes at the compromise of speed and whilst it handles top end power very comfortably they ride much slower in general. Stock setting The Army is more 'rear footed' and stable which a very comfortable and predictable roll and lift pattern. The Sk8 is more 'even footed', has a faster reaction time and more sensitive to (good and bad) movements and water changes. In short - they are both amazing fun to ride, the Sk8 is more exciting, the HA is more forgiving. Depending on you level and location if i were you i'd be weighing up how important bottom end lift and forgiveness is to you. Also the system as a whole and if it's future proof for the paths your foiling might head in the future. Welcome to give us a call for more advice
Most info I’ve found in probably 10 hours of research
Happy to help 🤙🤙
What a great,video. I will start with the spitfire 1030. What about the boards, which brand do u recommend for a 35l board? Thx
Nice foil choice, just be aware the 1030 has stacks of lift, so it’ll make pumping a dream, but steep sections and your pop up could be tricky to hold it down, maybe worth putting it towards the back of the track to begin. Hydrofoil wing screws can be a handy tool when figuring where is the right place to sit the mast for correct lift. There’s loads of good production and custom board brands now days. Shapes are always developing and some designs are more suited to certain locations, it’s worth contacting your local shop for the latest. If you are in the UK welcome to give us a shout. In short a few that come to mind - Armstrong, f-one and freedom have a solid range of production options. Appletree, Amos and swift make lovely high spec options. Plenty more good brands too.
@@poseidonwatersportsuk thanks a lot for the advice!! I’ll look into such board brands
Hey Chris, what you think can 6.1m XPS be my first wing, I just started and have 110l board, have 100kg? What is you advice? Or maybe to take Ventis 7m and XPS 5.1m? Or maybe Ozone Fly, but I would like to learn on the hard handle?
Hey, I’d go with the XPS 6.1, it’s really well balanced and easy to handle when under and over powered. The 7m ventis is a light wind weapon, but it might be tricky to learn on as it’s easy to trip over its extended dimensions when you’re still developing wing handling. The fly 6m is a nice option that has lots of power and handles great for its price point too, but if speed becomes your target you might look to change it in a year. In my view the xps 6.1 makes a perfect start to a set, which can be expanded with a 4.6 as you improve and required less wing grunt to get going. One day you might add a 3.5 to the quiver if start chasing high wind in the future.
@@poseidonwatersportsuk Thanks for the detailed answer, everyone tells me that I need a big wing so that I don't work too much with it. What you think with Flow 6.5 m and XPS 5.3 because wind is around 13 to 25 knots and I have 100 kg :)
F-One Strike V3 is well known for very hard to get onto the foil. It was so bad F-One got the Strike V4 out within 8 months. Hence the review/comparison is worthless.
Thanks for your comment. The video might not be relevant for you today, but when we released it 6 months ago it was current. The video is hopefully also still a useful tool for people comparing the flux or xps, or people shopping in the clearance / used market who are looking at the strike v3. I’d also note the strike v3 isn’t necessarily hard to get on foil, it just requires a different technique to other models/wings. 🤙
Where is this spot?
Sure, so long as there is a small wake and not just white water it’ll work, you’ll just need to select the right size foil and put some time in. At your weight in the PNG range you’ll want to look at the 1010 or 1125 for enough lift to sustain glide without needing pull from the rope. You might also consider one of the largest 2 sizes of spitfire foil in the axis range. Welcome to give us a call if you need advice or kit 🤙
I am a 6’ 230 pounds guy. Is it an option to wakefoil surfing behind a boat with small waves?
Just picked up your message, yes the PNG are great for wake foiling. I'd reccomend the 1010 as a go-to for you, the 1150 if you want to cruise more straight and pump far, or the 910 if you are looking to pushing it through harder turns
£2600 kite only!! Can get a paraglider for that!
Top tier review and background!
Thanks for watching 🤙🤙
I've only heard the positives, does it have any negatives?
For sure, there’s always a compromise. I try to avoid being negative, but here’s a few things to consider: - The very rigid design makes for an uncomfortable ride in gusty winds (think of driving a track car down a rally track). - The top end performance compromises bottom end torque, it needs to be ridden lit to shine. - moving so quickly through the air means you need to ride it fast, otherwise it creeps to the edge of the window, there’s no Sunday stroll on the vortex. - it’s fast air speed makes it want to go to the edge of the window if flying it tentatively - so you need to be particularly aggressive, especially landing jumps and jump transition (this might make learning these moves on it harder) - it’s horizontal pull and efficiency when low in the window makes it very hard unhooking and near impossible to slacken the lines. (- it’s expensive!) So in summary - these negatives won’t be a consideration for aggressive speed and performance driven rider it’s aimed at. But an intermediate level rider or someone who likes to be gentle, soft or slow might not enjoy time on this kite. It’s for charging and sending!
Great addition to the Ozone range!
🙌 Sure is
Thanks! What was the wind speed?
Clips were from various sessions. Most I’ve tried the 9m in was gusts of around 25 knots, maybe slightly more, felt it was just entering the real fun range there and would have handled around 10 knots easily. Lightest I managed to hold ground on a twin tip with the 9m was around 14 knots average.
Nice review there Chris!
Thanks for watching 🤙
Appreciate the reviews Mr Poseidon. What do you think about wave riding on a surf board? Do you think it has sufficient drift to be comfortable in the waves? With the price tag I am trying to avoid multiple kites in the same sizes for different purposes. Muchas gracias
Thank You Chris for this in depth insight! can I ask, from the performance freeride point of view how compares with the Edge? I'm not into loop but I like how the Edge takes upwind, and all the apparent wind that can build and use thanks to the very high aspect ratio, the Vortex is maybe a little less high aspect, for this reason I'm asking...
Those loops look silly fast
So fast that Freddie should have put it through a spin for the camera. So far I’ve tried it on 25 and 23m lines, because of its turn speed I much prefer it on 23’s to get more power in the loop
Great great review. Do you have the weight for some sizes because it's not on the Ozone website. Keep going with your great work !
