Jamie Overbeek verlaat Ozone

After almost 5 years, a significant part of my career as a pro kiteboarder has come to an end.
Today I have decided to end my partnership with Ozone.

I thank Ozone for the trust and all the opportunities the brand offered me over the years. Without their support I wouldn't have been able to reach my goals.
Our views on both our futures sadly don't align anymore, and therefore we part as friends.
I will continue my career as an independent rider at first, and I am positive about my future as a high end competition rider and storm chaser.

Ozone say, “We’d like to thank Jamie for the journey we’ve been on together, and we wish him well as he continues to light up big air imaginations around the world!
“There are times when athletes reach a stage in their competitive career that only a singular focus will take them to the next, rarely achieved, level. Every moment and each day counts.
“We respect Jamie’s decision to follow his own path. Ozone is a company that’s passionate about providing great products for our kitesurfing, foil kite and wingfoiling customers. We currently have over 40 highly developed designs, plus hundreds of accessories that are produced to order in our own factory.

Sadly the future aims and ambitions for company and individual can’t always align, but we’ve loved being a part of his progress and have an indescribable respect for what he and his peers are achieving at the cutting edge of big air kiteboarding.”

“Good luck Jamie. Stay unique, be inspired, fly high.”
