Ozone Code V5 Kiteboard: The Master of All-Terrain Freeride

In the pursuit of the perfect session, versatility is everything. The Ozone Code V5 is designed for the rider who doesn’t want to check the forecast before choosing a board. As the latest evolution in Ozone’s legendary twin-tip lineup, the V5 remains the ultimate “one-board solution,” bridging the gap between accessible entry-level comfort and high-performance Big Air.

At Water Sports House, we recommend the Code V5 to anyone from progressing intermediates to advanced riders who demand a board kiteboard that can handle everything from butter-flat lagoons to bone-rattling ocean chop.

What’s New for the V5? Refined Performance

The Code has always been known for its smooth, “riding on butter” feel. For the V5, Ozone’s design team focused on making the ride even more direct and lively.

Livelier Flex and Direct Response

The 2026 Ozone Code V5 features an updated hybrid construction. By integrating extra UD (unidirectional) carbon reinforcements in the center of the deck, Ozone has increased the stiffness directly underfoot. This results in a “re-charged” flex pattern that offers more explosive pop and a faster response to your inputs.

The “Skatey” Feel

Through subtle adjustments to the outline and a refined tip shape, the V5 offers a looser, more playful feel than the V4. It’s easier to transition from edge to edge and feels more liberated underfoot, which is a massive benefit for kitesurfing riders practicing board-offs or technical transitions.

Technical Specifications: Built for the Elements

The Code V5 is manufactured in Ozone’s own factory, ensuring a level of quality control that is rare in kitesurfing equipment. Every component, from the core to the inserts, is chosen for its strength and environmental footprint.

Construction Highlights:

• A-Grade Paulownia Core: Provides the foundation for the board’s amazing strength-to-weight ratio and natural flex.

• Bio-Based Epoxy Resin: 35% of this resin’s molecular structure is derived from plants, reducing the board’s carbon footprint without sacrificing durability.

• Double Concave Hull: Features a deep double concave that transitions into tri-spine channels at the tips for incredible upwind tracking and grip.

• Swallow-Shaped Tips: These unique tips allow for a strong edge hold during take-off without making the board feel “locked-in” or restrictive when carving.

Size & Rider Weight Table

Why the Code V5 Dominates the Freeride Scene

The kitesurfing market is full of specialized boards, but the Code V5 stands out because it doesn’t force you into a specific style.

• No-Spray Tips: Nothing ruins a session like a face full of water. The V5’s refined tip shape and swallow tail work together to direct water away from the rider, even in messy, cross-onshore chop.

• Forgiving Landings: The medium rocker and flex pattern act as a shock absorber. Whether you are landing a 10-meter jump or just coming off a small wave, the Code V5 makes “sketchy” landings feel controlled.

• Upwind Prowess: Thanks to the tri-spine channels, the board bites into the water, allowing you to point higher into the wind and spend more time jumping and less time tacking.

Summary: A Board for Every Session

If you want a board that grows with you—from your first upwind tacks to your first kiteloops—the Ozone Code V5 is the answer. It is one of the most reliable pieces of kite surfing gear you can own.

1. Versatility: Exceptional performance in flat water, chop, and waves.

2. Premium Build: Carbon/Glass hybrid layup for a lightweight yet “bombproof” feel.

3. Refined Grip: The swallow tips and channels provide grip exactly when you need it for take-offs.
