Master the Unhooked Game: Ozone Wakestyle Contact Water V5 Control System

For the rider who lives for powered handle passes, explosive pop, and the technical precision of freestyle, the Ozone Wakestyle Contact Water V5 Control System is the ultimate interface. While the standard Contact V5 is a masterpiece of freeride simplicity, the Wakestyle V5 is a specialized tool engineered specifically for the demands of the modern kite surfer pushing the boundaries of unhooked performance.

At Water Sports House, we know that a kitesurfing control bar is your primary safety and performance link. The Wakestyle V5 takes Ozone’s legendary “clean and simple” philosophy and tunes it with a shorter depower throw and a massive harness loop to ensure you never miss a hook-in.

What Sets the Wakestyle V5 Apart?

The Wakestyle V5 isn’t just a kite bar; it’s a high-performance system designed to stay within reach during the most intense maneuvers. Built on the same rock-solid foundation as the standard control bar, it introduces several key modifications for freestyle specialists.

1. Large Size Click-In Loop

The standout feature for any freestyle kitesurfing bar is the harness loop. The Wakestyle V5 comes standard with an oversized, molded loop. This makes “blind” hooking back in after a handle pass or unhooked trick incredibly intuitive. It is designed to work seamlessly with a standard kitesurf spreader bar or a dedicated spreader bar kitesurf rope slider setup.

2. Compact Depower Throw

When you are unhooked, you don’t want your bar traveling too far away. The Wakestyle V5 features a shortened depower stroke. This keeps the kitesurf power bar within an optimal arm’s reach, ensuring that even if you lose your grip momentarily, the bar is exactly where you expect it to be.

3. Bio-Based Dyneema® Kitesurfing Lines

Ozone has pioneered the use of Bio-based Dyneema® for their kitesurfing lines. These V2 lines offer the same zero-stretch performance and 500kg/300kg break strength as traditional HMPE, but with a 90% lower carbon footprint. They are modular, meaning you can easily add or remove extensions via the removable pigtails.

Technical Specifications & Compatibility

The Ozone Wakestyle V5 is a versatile beast, shipping with a 5-line conversion kit to support both modern 4-line kites and classic 5-line freestyle C-kites.

Key Features of the V5 Generation

The V5 update brings several ergonomic and mechanical improvements that make it one of the most sophisticated control bar options on the market.

• Innovative Click-In Reload: Much like a car seatbelt, you simply “click” the loop back into the release mechanism. No more struggling with two hands to reload your safety in the shorebreak.

• Two Release Modes:

  • Standard: Recommended for all riders; provides 100% flag-out on a single line.

  • Expert: Allows riders to miss the bar during a handle pass without the kite flagging out (use with extreme caution).

• Spinning Head Swivel: A stainless steel swivel ring integrated into the core allows you to untwist your front lines manually by simply rotating the spinning head above the bar.

• Ergonomic 3D Grip: The EVA grip is 3D pressed for a sanded, high-traction finish. It is color-coded (Red/Green) to ensure you never grab the kite bar the wrong way.

• PU Covered Depower Line: The main line is housed in a tough PU tube, significantly reducing wear and ensuring smooth sheeting even when the bar is fully turned.
