Ozone Hyperlink V5 13m Blue High Performance Foil Kite. Easy to access performance.
THE ULTIMATE CROSSOVER FOIL KITE FOR WATER AND SNOW
WHAT’S CHANGED?
The Hyperlink V4 has seen careful, incremental improvements throughout the design, but you'll really notice improvements in two key areas.
REDUCED ASPECT-RATIO DELIVERS FASTER, TIGHTER AND MORE REACTIVE TURNING
LIGHTER BAR FEEL MEANS LESS FATIGUE ON LONG SESSIONS
A SIMPLIFIED QUIVER
As the headline suggests, we believe this is the ultimate cross-over foil kite for anyone who wants to mix up their kiting between water and snow with the minimum amount of kites in their quiver.
This is the only foil kite in our range that is convertible between closed cell 4-line mode and open cell 5-line mode - which is the key to its crossover application and safety on all terrains.
It still may not be as quick as your customers' inflatable kites, but of all our foil kites, the Hyperlink V4 feels the most similar to the way an inflatable kite steers and handles. So we still recommend this as the first foil kite for most kitesurfers who are ready to transition to riding ram air kites.
The faster handling improvements listed below also make it a great kite for backcountry snowkite adventurers, of an intermediate level and beyond.
Read on in this newsletter for an overview of the key fundamental sales points of the Hyperlink V4, as well as comparisons with other foil kites in the Ozone range.

The Hyperlink is a true multi-purpose foil kite. Set it up in closed cell 4-line mode on the water, or convert it to open cell 5-line mode for the ultimate in safe and versatile handling on the snow.
The Hyperlink V4 covers almost every aspect of kiting. Freeride, hydrofoil, boost and float, air style or unhooked as well as backcountry snow missions; it delivers for all!
The Hyperlink may not be as fast as your inflatable kite, but the way it moves and turns will feel more familiar than other foil kites. The V4 design delivers more freeride and jumping capabilities, bringing it even closer to the feel of an inflatable kite.
By adding the Hyperlink V4 to your quiver you’ll enjoy incredible stability, light wind power and cross-over performance.
DESIGN INSIGHTS
“Developing the Hyperlink is always exciting. Thanks to the multi-purpose design brief it takes us from riding twin tips and foils on water, to the highest peaks in the mountains on snow… and anywhere in between.
“We found the V3 could fatigue your arms on long days in the mountains, so we worked on reducing the bar pressure and steering forces while also increasing the turning speed.
“The V4 is now more fun on snow as it nicely accelerates through the loops, is extremely stable while offering great depower. Oh, and it glides pretty well too! On water, the increased handling makes it more fun and easier to send for big jumps.”
DOM ZIMMERMANN, OZONE HEAD KITE DESIGNER
FOR WATER AND SNOW
The Hyperlink V4 is the ultimate crossover foil kite, designed for both water and snow. Easily switch between:
4-LINE CLOSED CELL MODE
Water
Ideal for water use, 4-Line Closed Cell Mode comes standard with a front-line flag-out safety system, similar to our inflatable kites. After a quick pre-inflation, the kite fully inflates in the air, offering fast, intuitive steering, similar to an inflatable.
Relaunching is easy—simply pull one line using the relaunch ball or brake handle on the leader lines.
5-LINE OPEN CELL MODE
Snow
Best suited for snow and land, 5-Line Open Cell Mode inflates more quickly due to the open valves. Paired with the optional Internal Re-Ride Release System, it allows for instant depower and safe self-landing, making it perfect for adventurous snowkiters.
HYPERLINK V4 VS CHRONO V5
HYPERLINK V4 VS CHRONO V5
On Water
The Hyperlink V4 in 4-Line Closed Cell mode doesn’t fly as far forward in the wind window as the Chrono. The Chrono features a higher-aspect-ratio for faster airspeed, greater board speed and higher boosts.
However, the Hyperlink turns tighter, with more intuitive handling and is easier to relaunch, making it more user-friendly and stable in gusty conditions.
HYPERLINK V4 VS OTHER SNOWKITES
On Snow
The Hyperlink’s tight turning and superior handling are ideal for intermediate snowkiters through to advanced riders who seek adventure, with the power to climb hills and navigate difficult terrain.
(The Chrono V5 is a closed cell design, so it can't quickly expel air from its cells when trying to self-land / collapse the kite and kill the power, so isn’t recommended for use on the snow.)
