Ozone Code V5

Ozone Code V5

The Code was the original twintip from Ozone. It is a performance freeride board with its now classic pulled in tips. This board has evolved with the advent of big air into a performance board capable of handling all kinds of conditions. It is plenty forgiving without sacrificing performance. A big thumbs up from us.

WHY YOU’LL LOVE THE CODE V5 TWIN-TIP

It’s all about refinement, building on the great starting point we had in the V4. We didn’t want to tamper with the Code’s accessible feel, but through careful adjustments, we’ve maintained the Code’s true feeling of accessibility while adding more responsive flex performance and pop. You’ll also enjoy a looser and skatier feel for the ultimate feel of freedom underfoot.

Edging grip is easy and assured without feeling restrictive and tiring, while upwind performance is quick and inspiring.

EXPRESS YOUR STYLE IN EVEN THE MOST DIFFICULT CONDITIONS

The Code V5 twin-tip delivers the perfect balance of lightweight comfort while still giving you a sense of positive swing weight underfoot.

Built to last and feeling impeccably smooth across the water, the Code V5 will help you move with control, courage and style.

NEW DESIGN FEATURES IN THE V5

• Adjustment of outline shape to feel looser and skatier
• Extra carbon reinforcements in the deck provide more stiffness and a livelier feel directly underfoot
• The refined tip shape offers easy handling and no-spray in difficult conditions

The result? The V5 is even more fun to ride, without any sacrifice in upwind performance.

YOU MAY NOT ‘SEE’ THE DIFFERENCES, BUT YOU WILL ‘FEEL’ THEM

The overall design tweaks in the V5 have further refined what was already a very popular and highly accessible freeride board.

CONTROL IN THE SMALLEST MOVEMENTS, CONFIDENCE IN THE BIGGEST ONES

The Code helps make any take-off situation manageable, and sketchy landings, possible.

This is a board for everyone – for intermediates, but also our pro team, who often choose it over the Torque in more demanding or choppy conditions.

CONSTRUCTION DETAILS

The Code V5 is made with a hybrid biax fibreglass and UD carbon layup, with extra carbon reinforcements in the centre of the deck, which now provide more stiffness and a faster response.

This strong but lightweight construction delivers ideal flex at the tips and increased response from the centre of the board. This combination is designed to help you perform with high levels of control in all freeride conditions.

The medium flex and rocker provide excellent absorption for hard and fast landings, which allows you to ride with more confidence and positivity.

The hull design features a double concave blending into tri-spine channels at the tips for added grip and upwind edging.

The performance freeride outline provides excellent carving abilities with ultra smooth drive in choppy conditions.

Swallow shaped tips allow a strong edge hold without the feeling of being locked on a rail, while increasing stability and control.

CODE: The architecture of possibility — transforming ambition into reality.

RIDER TESTIMONIALS

“The Code V5 gives me the loose and skatey feel that I want, so I can ride the ocean with a complete sense of freedom. While the design changes are subtle, there’s more response and pop, as if the whole flex pattern has been re-charged.

“I can take anything on with the Code, no doubt in my mind at all.”

JESSE RICHMAN, TEAM RIDER, 3 X RED BULL KING OF THE AIR / 5 X WORLD CHAMPION

“The Code allows me to maximise the performance of my Vortex and Edge kites because it can comfortably handle so much speed. The feel and shape provide so much grip at speed which makes for explosive take-offs to reach my maximum heights.

“There is no better feeling than the perfect take-off, especially when you also have the confidence of landing like you’re on train tracks.

“I also like the fact that the Code is quite narrow. This not only helps with speed, but also makes board flips and tick-tacs a lot easier.”

JINNE BOER, TEAM RIDER, NETHERLANDS

“You’ll feel like you're riding on butter, but with the power to send it big. The perfect shape, weight and grip makes it feel so unique. It’s always a huge hit on our demo days, and I can 100% recommend it for your freeride / big air progression.”

SANTI CISNEROS, OZONE INTERNATIONAL DEMO TOUR MANAGER AND TEAM RIDER

“Smooth and reliable, the Code simply works great in all conditions. From always finding the perfect vertical take-off, to managing hard and fast landings, everything seems possible.

“The lightweight feel really makes a difference for my old-school board-off tricks.”

SHOULD YOU CHOOSE THE CODE OR THE TORQUE?

Our Code and Torque twin-tips are both designed to provide very high-performance but, like all our products, are designed to be as accessible as possible, too.

Any rider of intermediate level and upwards could get on them and have a great time from their first runs onboard.

The choice comes down to feel and style.”

CODE VS TORQUE

CODE V5 - LOOSE & LIVELY

While also capable of sensational speed, the Code is tuned to provide a more friendly and loose riding feel. With narrower tips and a softer flex, it will feel easier in more challenging conditions. More forgiving in heavier seas, it’s less tiring on the legs when you’re powered up and trying to negotiate lots of chop. This is a big benefit for intermediates, but also delivers for advanced riders who want easy control during fast take-offs from big ocean kickers in strong winds.

TORQUE V5 - LOCK & LOAD

The Torque is stiffer throughout and has a wider outline in the tips. More of its rail engages with the water any moment, so feels more locked-in and has a more powerful feeling grip.

While it is more of a racey ride, it still has plenty of modern playfulness to offer. It’s just more geared towards riders who prioritise grip over looseness
