Ozone UK Team

We are lucky to have some great riders on our UK team. These are the people who are at the events and on the beaches – feel free to approach them and ask about Ozone.


Ryan Coote

Ryan has been a part of the Ozone team for a long time. His stunning home spot on the west coast of Ireland feature heavily in his videos. Brandon Bay is famous for its big waves and strong winds – Ryan has made a name for himself riding them!

Ryan also offers lessons, coaching and tours through his school Kitesurf Ireland. The REO is of course Ryan’s weapon of choice in the waves. When it comes to working his way up the WOO leaderbord – its all about the EDGE.

Oli Sweeney

Oli is known in the UK as one of the most talented and stylish freestyle kiteboarders. Big wind days are what Oli is best at and has been a competitor at events such as the Mega Loop Challenge and the King of the Air. He is a regular on the podium at the UK Freestyle events. Oli is riding the Enduro V2 with the Wakestyle bar and the Torque. are



Chris Burke

One of the original wakestyle pioneers! After years of travelling the world competing, filming and testing he is now based in Poole where he runs Poseidon Kite School – offering lessons and coaching! Chris has become a key part of the UK Ozone team! When it comes to kiting, Chris has fallen in love with the Enduro, but also needs a 7m REO for those wave days.


Sukie Robertson

Sukie has been on the Ozone team since she was in her early teens! First as a landboarder and then progressing into the water where she has become a regular on the podium. After many years travelling, teaching and a stint as an MC for the Kite Tour Asia, she has now settled in Westward Ho! where she co-founded 514 Elemental – her kite school. She is now leading the way getting the next generation into kiting with her kids club. Sukie is a C4 girl.


Neal Gent

A longstanding figure in the UK scene – based on the south coast but frequently found riding in exotic locations. Neal is a master when it comes to waveriding whether on a kite, surfboard or SUP. His fluid style makes whatever he is doing seem easy! Neal rides the REO primarily but also the Chrono for lightwind foiling


Lance Olner

An all round kiter, happy on a twintip, surfboard or foil who came into racing almost by accident – now focusing on hydrofoil racing. Lance is also a regular at Ozone demo days offering help and advice. Lance rides the Enduro V2 for freeriding and R1 V2 for racing.


Alex Wallis

Alex is all about going big. He likes riding powered and sending it and is currently beating some of the local pros on the height leaderboard. Coached by fellow Ozone rider Sukie – he has been climbing the ranks of the juniors and came 1st overall in 2018. Alex is riding the Enduro V2 and Torque.
