Ozone Code V4 Kiteboard: The Ultimate All-Round Freeride Performance

The Ozone Code V4 has long been celebrated as the “one-board quiver” in the world of kitesurfing. Whether you are carving through Atlantic swells, boosting high over flat water, or navigating the technical chop of a lake, this board is designed to adapt. With the release of the V4, Ozone has taken their most popular board kiteboard and refined the internal architecture to provide more pop and better load retention without losing the “magic carpet” comfort that defined its predecessors.

At Water Sports House, we recommend the Code V4 for intermediate to advanced riders who need a reliable, high-performance piece of kitesurfing equipment that won’t punish them in difficult conditions.

What’s New for the Code V4?

While the proven hull shape and progressive outline remain, the V4 features a major internal upgrade. Ozone has introduced a new UD (Unidirectional) carbon strip in the center, reinforced with an additional layer of UD fiberglass.

The Result of the V4 Layup:

• Increased Center Stiffness: The center of the board now holds its load better, allowing you to build more tension for explosive jumps.

• Maintained Tip Flex: By keeping the tips softer, the board still eats up chop and provides a forgiving feel on fast, high-impact landings.

• Sharper Response: The improved layup in the middle of the board adds a “snappy” feel, making the board react instantly to your foot inputs during kite surfing.

Technical Specifications & Sizing Guide

The Code V4 utilizes an A-grade Paulownia wood core and a bio-based epoxy resin (35% plant-derived), making it a high-tech and more sustainable choice for your kitesurf sessions.

Core Performance Features

The Ozone Code V4 is packed with features that make it an industry-leading kitesurfing board.

1. Double Concave and Tri-Spine Hull

The base of the board features a sophisticated double concave that transitions into tri-spine channels at the tips. This design provides incredible grip, allowing you to ride with speed and power for big boosts or driving hard upwind.

2. Swallow Tips

The swallow-shaped tips allow for a strong edge hold without the feeling of being “locked” on a rail. This increases stability and control when carving waves or loading up for a jump, giving the board a playful yet secure feel.

3. Progressive Freeride Outline

The rounded outline provides ultra-smooth drive in choppy conditions. It effectively breaks the surface tension of the water, preventing the board from “tripping” over chop and keeping the spray out of your face.

Why the Code V4 is Your One-Board Solution

In the kitesurfing world, many boards are specialized—stiff boards for freestyle and flexible boards for cruising. The Code V4 bridges that gap.

• For Big Air: The stiffened center section provides the “pop” needed for massive airs and kiteloops.

• For Waves: The rounded outline and medium flex make it a joy to carve into small to medium waves.

• For Progression: It is stable enough to help an intermediate rider master their first transitions but powerful enough for a pro to win a local Big Air contest.

Summary: Trust in the Code

The Ozone Code V4 is a masterclass in balance. It offers the performance of carbon without the harsh, bone-rattling ride. It is a board that encourages you to stay on the water longer, ride harder, and progress faster.

1. Versatile Performance: Excels in flat water, chop, and waves.

2. Advanced Construction: Hybrid layup for the perfect weight-to-strength ratio.

3. Maximum Comfort: Medium rocker and flex absorb fast landings with ease.
