Wingfoiling or Wingsurfing it's in the corner ladies , there are vídeos of almost any mayor brand testing them at youtube ...Naish,Duotone,Slingshot and more ....

Dunno, but there was much chortling on another forum when an Ozone employee said something to the effect "Ozone will never do something as lame as that" and not 24 hours later, those videos appeared :lol:

Cabrinha has one too, saw my first video yesterday.

Kai Lenny has been riding Ozone kites since shortly after he left Naish. His stated reason for leaving Naish was that he didn't want to be locked into one brand and unable to ride gear from other manufacturers, which makes sense for someone who's into "experimental" things and has enough of a personal brand that he can probably make enough money without having a major brand paying him.

So I don't know if he's interested in joining the Ozone team (or any other team that will lock him into riding only their kites), but all of his recent Instagram posts and such have been on Ozone kites.

No kite/wind/sup/surf industry brand can afford his sponsor rates so he just buys the gear he wants to ride. Not fair for a little kite brand to sponsor him for less than Nike. Smart kid

I thought this was an April fools joke when I saw SS talking about it. Guess it is a real thing?
