Hey Leo, someone put an ozone trainer kite and bar in my bag at the pass the other day. I'm guessing it was meant for your ozone bag that was nearby; so I left it there as it was getting dark, with hardly anyone else about. There's some good photos of you floating around. You were smashing those strapless airs. I cant get that link to work ![]()
Holy crap is Leo the Patrick Rebstock of the east coast of Oz.He just keeps going to a new level and is a kiting nomad,good luck leo.

Leo, you are ripping as much as anyone I've seen. Unbelievable you've only been kiting for that amount of time. I think they should find another spot for you on the KSP. Hey, my kite is in there at 1:05. I'd like to thank mum.........
p.s. who said reos cant jump, you hardly look like your even sending it.

Leo started in 2009. I could look up the month but this gives you an idea of how short a time progression has been made.
He has had some minor assistance but essentially apart from a few tips here and there, has done everything himself.
He is motivated beyond belief and Is putting a heap of energy into kiting, so good luck to him.
So that video above says his from Brazil, is that right and his just travelling Aus?
I saw him at Mambo this year and he was killing it.
Very nice man...![]()
Leo lives in Australia has 2 kids and less hair than when he first started.
Yes, the improvement is unbelievable and no doubt there is more on the way soon.
He will need to stay healthy and free from injury, given that he spends more time in the air than on the board.
Does make a mean pizza, but that's another story. Lol
Freakish ability man, must have been a bird or a cat in a previous life!?
He had all those in Byron who could appreciate what he was doing raptured, except maybe the agro clubby on the jetski who ridiculously hassled a few of us, for no reason at all.
A few of us did a 20km downwinder down from South Golden and I hovered upwind of Leo for a fair bit of it, trying to work out what he was doing. I'd rate his spacial awareness, natural ability, pain threshold pretty highly. If he's in the air strapless he either has his board between his feet and the wind direction, or he's doing a grab.
Double back loops or 15 foot punts strapless no problemo for that cat!
Thanks guys so stoked for all those good words just give me more energy to try fly even higher.
ozone reo honestly the best kite i ever used !!!
Hey Leo..great skills mate really inspiring...I started in 09 also you have got me pumped. Did you surf before kiting??
Hey bud, can you let me know a little about the board you use please.
Material, lxWxD. and your height?
Ive had a couple of surfbaords and about to get a more exxy one and want to know what you suggest.
Anyone notice how little info there is on Axis, there website is uninformative. apparently they make surfboards but cant find them on their website or on Kite powers. strange, any ideas?

Nice.
good skill and different wave riding to what you usually see on vids these days....
got a vid of the outtakes?
Not only is Leo the fastest improver and a legend in the making he is also a super nice guy, the first to come to the beach to make sure I was OK after doing a ligament at mambo this year :) can't wait to see how good you are this time next year Leo!! ![]()
