The Catalyst is the kite for anyone getting into the sport or riders looking for a fun, confidence inspiring kite with ease of use and accessibility at its heart.
Encontrar una tiendaThe Catalyst V4 is ultra stable and intuitive to launch, land and fly.
The lightweight one strut design combined with an open arc shape delivers smooth power with amazing light wind capabilities getting you up riding easily.
The wide wind range and progressive de-power makes riding in variable or gusty conditions comfortable, while great upwind performance gives you more time to spend improving your skills!
After the basics have been mastered and you’re looking to expand your game, you’ll be surprised at the jumping capabilities of the Catalyst. Smooth lift with precise feedback makes learning your first jumps easy.
By turning the bar or using the re-launch balls on the leader lines the kite rolls over into the re-launch position.
A new retracting rear bridle line system reduces the chance of line tangles while adding rear line tension when riding sheeted out increasing reactivity to bar inputs.
Our time proven Front Line Flag Out release system is simple and effective, it is the same system featured on our entire water kite range. When the Click-in Loop is released the kite flags out to one front line, immediately releasing all the power from the kite.
The Catalyst features our proven rip-stop material combination. The rip-stop canopy material has an advanced ultra flex coating improving feedback in gustier conditions making for a smoother ride. The technical rip-stop dacron is super tough, used on the Leading Edge and Strut it improves strength, durability and longevity.
The Fast Flow One-Pump Inflation System makes set up and packing quick and easy. It features single point inflation/deflation and a high air flow rate between the Strut and Leading Edge, with a clip to seal the hose to prevent unwanted air flow in case of damage.
Productos de máxima calidad mundial, hechos en nuestra propia planta, confeccionados con los mejores materiales y sometidos en cada fase de fabricación a una rigurosa inspección manual. La fábrica Ozone también produce nuestra gama de velas de parapente, paramotor, speed flying y speed riding; todos nuestros productos pasan los mismos procesos de control de calidad.
Nuestro método de construcción Direct Connect mejora la distribución de la carga entre el borde de ataque, las costillas y la cúpula. Las costillas van conectadas directamente al borde de ataque y llevan refuerzos internos y externos. Este exclusivo método de fabricación garantiza que se mantengan unos perfiles limpios y con la tensión óptima en la cometa.
Los conectores de línea infalibles evitan montar de manera incorrecta las líneas de vuelo de la cometa.
El nuevo sistema de inflado Fast Flow One-Pump hace rápido y sencillo armar y recoger la cometa. Hay un único punto de inflado/desinflado, y un elevado flujo de aire entre las costillas y el borde de ataque, con clips para estrangular los tubos y prevenir escapes no deseados en caso de daños.
El FUTURO es AHORA - Todas las cometas y velas Ozone están diseñadas y desarrolladas usando nuestro propio y vanguardista software CAD. Nuestros diseñadores conocen muy bien las características específicas que precisan las formas y estructuras de las velas, cometas inflables y foils que desarrollamos. Parte de nuestro equipo de diseño se dedica a la mejora constante del programa CAD, así como a añadir nuevos módulos y funciones al programa a medida que continuamos desarrollando nuestros productos.
SIN poleas, SIN problemas. Diseñamos todas nuestras cometas hinchables sin poleas, para que toda nuestra gama herede las sensaciones y prestaciones únicas que trasmite Ozone.
Lo que hay en el interior también cuenta: refuerzos internos para mejorar la robustez y la durabilidad, como la costura de cierre del borde de ataque, con hilos de elevada resistencia y doble capa de dacron + cinta de sellado Insignia.
En todas las zonas que reciben carga, se emplean refuerzos de dacron para mejorar la distribución de la misma. Esto permite que todas las cargas se se repartan de manera uniforme en la vela para que la cometa vuele y rinda al máximo.
El borde de ataque y las costillas están reforzados en las zonas de mayor tensión para garantizar que la cometa mantenga su forma y rinda al máximo.
Los parachoques de borde de ataque a menudo son elementos abultados, cosméticos e innecesarios. En Ozone fabricamos nuestras cometas y velas para que rindan y duren, y empleamos los mejores materiales y componentes disponibles. En las zonas que requieren protección contra las rozaduras utilizamos un material ligero y duradero con una excelente resistencia a la abrasión, y los hacemos poco abultados para reducir la resistencia parásita y mantener las prestaciones.
Los deflectores de línea antienganches evitan que las bridas y las líneas se enganchen en las puntas de la cometa. Mejora la seguridad cuando se despega con un compañero y facilita relanzar la cometa desde el agua.
Una tira de doble capa en el borde de fuga, con un refuerzo interno de dyneema ligero reduce el desgaste de la cometa y contribuye a mantener la tensión óptima del borde de fuga que se calculó en el diseño. La tira de dyneema también reduce cualquier posible estiramiento en el borde de fuga.
Trabajamos a fondo durante nuestro proceso de I+D en el desarrollo del rango de tamaños para que las sensaciones sean homogéneas. Cada cometa tiene una geometría de bridas propia, que se prueba de manera individual y se afina para maximizar las sensaciones que transmite y sus prestaciones.
Nuestras cámaras de aire las fabricamos nosotros mismos con maquinaria de soldadura propia y vanguardista. En todas las zonas de desgaste potencial se aplican capas dobles.
La fabricación con costuras planas solapadas mejora el control de la vela y le aporta líneas más limpias.

Do not ride the kite with the one pump clips undone. If you get a puncture the whole kite will deflate! Always close the one pump clips inside the neoprene covers after pumping up. Do not under inflate the kite or it will not perform to its designed trim and will not relaunch easily.
Always double check your lines before launching. Wrongly attached lines will stop the kite flying correctly and could therefore mean you have no control of the kite putting yourself in a dangerous situation.
The Quick Release is the primary connection to the kite. Make sure you connect to the Quick Release using the finger as shown in the pictures.
All riders should attach their Kite Leash to the Flag Out System. This is the small eyelet on the Stainless Steel Swivel Ring.
When the release is activated, the kite will flag out and fall to the water/ground.
In all situations make sure that all lines are clear of all working release systems and the kite leash is connected in the right way.
Riders performing unhooked tricks or who are more confident and have spent many hours Kiting can attach in Expert mode, where the loop part runs through the large eye of the steel ring. When letting go of the bar in Expert mode (without activating the release e.g. missed handle pass) the kite will depower but WILL NOT flag out.
Be aware in this situation, the Quick Release will be out of reach and can therefore not be released. When hooked in and activating the Quick Release the steel ring automatically slips off and the kite will flag out.
Activate the Quick Release as shown in the pictures. Providing your leash is attached to the flag out system the kite will 100% depower.
In the case of an extreme emergency where you need to completely release from the kite, use the quick release on the kite leash. This will completely detach the kite and control system from the user, and could therefore hit anything or anyone downwind causing damage, serious injury or death. RIDE RESPONSIBLY.
WARNING:
NEVER LAUNCH A KITE DIRECTLY DOWNWIND OF YOU IN THE POWER ZONE!
Instruct your partner on how to handle the kite and agree on a sign together for the release and landing. They should hold the kite in the center of the leading edge at the edge of the window and double check that all lines are clear. It is possible for lines to get wrapped around the tip so make sure they understand that all lines must run clearly from each attachment point.
Before you give the signal to release make sure you are 100% confident that all lines are clear. Then give your pre-agreed signal for your partner to release the kite and gently launch the kite to the top of the window.
Landing the kite use the same principles >> Most importantly keep your head clear, be smooth and controlled with the kite and land before you are too tired or overpowered.
WARNING:
Make sure you grab the correct side of the bar
– we colour code the bar red for left.
Once the kite is face down with the leading edge touching the water:
NOTE: If the kite somehow lands nose down but with the tips facing away, pull one of the rear leader lines to help the kite blow around to the correct position then follow the steps above for getting the kite re-launched.
If you get in trouble out in the water, there is a simple way to self rescue yourself.
Firstly kill the kite’s power with the flag out system by releasing the chicken loop. The kite will flag out and drop to the water.
Lines are dangerous in this situation so make sure you wind the flag out frontline around the bar at least 10x to disable the kite. Then wrap all the lines together onto the bar as you normally would. You will end up at the kite ideally with the lines wrapped tightly and neatly on the bar. Make a few half hitches to secure the lines.
Once you have got hold of the kite you can drop the bar. When you have reached the kite, take hold of the bridle lines at each wingtip. Hold both bridals to use the kite as a sail to get back to shore safely.
To release the line from the cleat teeth, first pull out and down to unlock the line from the teeth, then set the trimmer line to the desired amount.
Pull the trimmer line down to de-power the kite. This is needed if you are overpowered, for unhooked riding, or if you are walking on the beach or snow.
Release the trimmer line away from you to increase kite power.

All lines should be maintained as close to equal length as possible. Flying lines can stretch over time, generally the front lines stretch more as these take the majority of the load.
To check your lines, unwind the lines from the bar and have a partner hold the lines even at the bar end. Taking hold of the lines at the other end, pull on the lines to check they are even. If the lines are not even you may either;
1) Stretch out the shorter lines. Attach the shorter lines to a car hitch or something very solid. Then take hold of the bar and pull with enough force to stretch the line. Do this to any lines that are shorter and re-check that all 4 lines are equal length.
2) Use the Leader Line trimming knots located underneath the bar ends.
Kites are very technical products and are used in the harsh marine environment. If you use common sense and care for your equipment it will look after you and keep its factory trim for hundreds of hours.
Never pump up your kite on a rough surface which may have sharp objects.
Be very careful with your flying lines. If you catch them on a rock or sharp object thoroughly check each one and we recommend you replace your lines. Also make sure there are no knots in the lines. Knots weaken the line by up to 50%.
Once you have pumped up secure your kite with sand or use sandbags – Do not use heavy objects or even your board, the fins have been known to rip kites.
Never leave your kite on the beach un-used for long periods of time in the sun and wind. The trailing edge flapping and sand hitting the sail cloth will severely shorten the kite’s life. UV also shortens the lifespan of a kite so pack away when not using your kite.
Never pack away your kite wet, only when 100% dry – This will damage the cloth and its coatings and may lead to dye running. This is not valid for warranty.
Never leave your kite inside your car in direct sunlight.
Always clean your control system with fresh water after every session, and reload/release the Quick Release to check the system is functioning correctly. Store your control system with the Quick Release open. Reload the next time you set up your kite.
When inflating the bladders always inflate slowly and ensure the bladders are inflating correctly in the struts or leading edge. If you see a twist or something looks strange STOP pumping immediately and check bladders. They may need re-inserting to ensure they inflate properly.
We supply a repair kit with the following contents:
1. A4 pieces of sail cloth
2. A4 piece of Dacron
3. 1 x length of 50mm wide sticky black repair tape
4. 6” x 3” Tear-Aid bladder repair patch

6. One pump clip / hose / hose retainer
If you have a major repair like a tear across panels, struts or the leading edge take the kite to your local sail repair shop. For minor tears and bladder punctures you can easily fix these yourself with the repair kit supplied with the kite.
A clean and simple design, with an easy-to-use trim system and featuring our latest innovation - the Click-in Loop.
Encontrar una tiendaAn all-new push-away quick release with an innovative one-step Click-In reload function that is incredibly intuitive. The release handle fits comfortably in the hand, it is quick and easy to activate the release by pushing the handle away. A self-positioning release mechanism locates automatically, ready to be re-loaded by simply ‘clicking’ in the loop. The Click-In Loop is AFNOR NF S52-503 certified.
What’s the first thing you do when you get in a car? You click in your seatbelt, hearing that ‘click’ sound makes you feel secure that you are safely buckled up, and you know instinctively how to release it. The design of our new release system, the Click-In Loop, is inspired by the same principle. In the same way fastening your seatbelt has become a natural action when getting into a car, riders should activate and reload their release systems before and after every use. Although this important safety check is often overlooked, checking your release before each session will ensure it is functioning properly. We developed the Click-In function to be simple and intuitive, so activating and reloading will become second nature.
