Awesome kite! I have the V4 for kitefoiling and strapless surf, it's super controllable and predictable, just amazing. I can only imagine how brilliant the v7 is.
Hi Matt, thanks for the review, SUPER stoked that you liked the kite. You inspired me to head out in the waves with my foil and 8m Reo Ultra-X, I had not opened it since I bought it as my knee op was only a 2 months ago. What a machine! Easy relaunch and whippy turn, such fun hooning down the waves on my kite foil. THANKS!
Love the Reo. I definitely prefer 23m lines with the Reo below 12m size, its just faster turning. A 7m or 8m takes to long to reposition with longer lines, the wind window becomes to big with long lines. But i guess it depends primarily on how you ride and how fast you want the kite to move. If you need to actively maneuver your kite at your break because of sectioned waves and unsteady wind, then shorter lines…. If you have down the line conditions then longer 25m lines might be better, just park and ride.
Its important to take note that its especially good for lighter riders and that the Reo has no real grunt. For riders 100kg+ this kite might not be the best wave kite on the market. Going to an proportional bigger board is not always the right solution, so just remember to take rider weight in to account.

Hi Matt, Hi Guys, for foiling how does the Reo's compete with the Carve 2024? Cheers
How would the new v7 12m ultra X compare with the V6 11m for turning speed? Cheers
Could you do strapless freestyle on this or is it a bit too friendly to get decent air?
