Hi All,
intermediate rider Looking to get a quiver of all round Kites and wanted to know other peoples thoughts. I'm interested in good quality constructions and predictability, I mostly just free ride and wave ride. any other kite suggestions are welcome and comments on the different manufacture's quality.
cheers

Ozone Enduro V2 would be the best from the Ozone range for your purpose. They have a wave, freeride and freestyle setting, simple and fast to adjust on the bridle at the centre of the kite. If you want a more wave oriented kite go the Reo for sure.
I'd go for a Reo, it can kind of boost when you get the timing down pat (kind of). It's super good int he surf, the turning speeds and it's drift are second to none. I also love using it with my foil as it's just a solid predictable kite and you can turn the power off and on when you need to and it's drifting ability helps a lot when foiling.
Only downside is they're too expensive and prices just keep going up......And I wouldn't go for any older then 2015.
Not too sure why there is a reo on your list given you want an all rounder kite. I'd give that bandit a good demo myself and probably the enduro and the evo. Seen good riders do all sorts on those kites. Airush union is another I've seen put to good use.
Everyone forgets the Naish Pivot as an all rounder and a OK wave kite. The Reo does not Jump unless you have awesome technique.
Yes as above Reo is not best all rounder BUT yes it dose jump and boost as well and very stable And also witnessed A GKA and One Eye and Paulino was boosting and looping his V5 Reo kite as Much as the over brand kites So depends on your % of wave to freestyle riding But as all ways you need to demo demo to find the kite for you I can also can jump high but with my skill levels I need to be strapped pics of Paulino
