The Ozone Catalyst is designed for riders looking for an incredibly versatile and easy kite to ride for both free ride and waves.
Drawn from all the excellent attributes of previous Ozone kites, the Catalyst has been refined into an amazing kite for entry level through to advanced riders.
The Catalyst has been developed along with the new Contact
control system, which has an increased de-power throw range
and a simplified trimming area into modular replaceable components.
The Ozone Catalyst really has come of age in 2010. This new generation is truly the perfect crossover kite for all levels of rider.
Progressive power delivery, sharper handling and better
all-round
performance means that from starting out to wave or even unhooked
- the Ozone Catalyst packs the perfect punch to progress safely
and stress free.
The Catalyst has a more powerful, smoother and progressive feel than ever before. The Ozone's "Sweet Spot" is now much wider! The bar pressure gives better feedback to the rider and the de-power trim strap is more effective without sacrificing feel or handling when engaged. The Catalyst also has several multiple trimming options settings for fast and light or slower and heavier handling, giving every rider the opportunity to set the kite up for individual preference.
The Ozone Catalyst has also been designed to be as easy and adaptable as possible, making it the ideal kite for anyone looking for simplicity and a quick learning curve. Line Trimmers affixed above each bar en also allow you to adjust the perfect line tension for any wind condition. If you prefer more bar pressure, simply pull in the trimmers. Want that light feel, just let the trimmer back out.
It's an affordable, ultra light, 3 strut kite ideal for a wide range of riders and conditions. The Ozone Catalyst is fun and easy to fly and feel, this versatile machine will redefine recreational Kitesurfing.
Perfect Travel Kite:
The Ozone Catalyst is the perfect travel kite; light in weight
and packs very small due to its compact size and minimalist
3 Strut Concept. Take the 12m on holiday with your surfboard
and you have the perfect travel combo that will be under any
airlines weight limits! The low end grunt of the Instinct
Catalyst is truly impressive and combined with its massive
depower, the wind range of the Light allows you to consider
a one size quiver for most days.
Wave Riding:
For wave riding, the Ozone Catalayst's low weight is the secret that unleashes its increased performance from such a stable shape. It literally hangs in the air even in super light winds and at the edge of the wind window… it just keeps pulling. The lightness is really felt when on fast waves …when moving with a quick wave the rider can easily overtake the kite and create less tension on the lines between rider and kite. While a heavy kite loses power and dies in this situation, the Instinct Catalyst just keeps pulling away from the rider maintaining constant tension & pressure in the lines. This allows the rider to concentrate 100% on the wave knowing that the Catalyst is always ready, and with its progressive steering one can confidently snap turns at will up or down the line.
Unhooked Riding:
For intermediate riders interested in learning to ride unhooked the Light is also the kite to own. You can un-hook without stressing your head with crazy power, the Catalyst seriously makes riding un-hooked easy and stress free and therefore makes it easier for you to master your moves. This is the unhooked school kite that will allow the rider to learn those ballsy moves with ease.
Water Relaunching:
The relaunch is almost automatic, just turn the bar and it’s in the air. The Catalyst's constant power and fluid steering combined with user friendly characteristics makes the Light a dream for accelerating any learning curve. It is powerful enough to tow into the largest of waves, yet its low aspect shape will keep you on your board and not eject you when the trigger is pulled.
We also feel that this kite is ideal for the occasional kiter or family that loves kiting yet does not want to invest in a lot of equipment. With the Light they have the best of all worlds, a fun and easy kite for all ages of the family that has full depower, re-assuring safety, easy relaunch, and not only is it light in weight it is also light on the wallet.
Outlined below are some of the very important design features:
Materials: Ozone's philosophy has always been to use only the finest materials available for any of our products and for our Kitesurf range this is no different. Tube kites take a particularly harsh beating due to the sand and salt environment therefore we decided to use the industries tried and tested sail cloth to ensure our kites keep their designed factory trim even after hundreds of hours of use.
Features:
Sizes: 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14m
For 10 to 25 knots a rider of the following weight range should use the following size kite:
45-60kg 8m
60-70kg 10m
70-85 kg 12m
To ride in more than 25 knots, it’s best to step down one size.
Who is this kite designed for: The Ozone Catalysthas been designed to be as easy and adaptable as possible, making it the ideal kite for people looking for simplicity and a quick learning curve. For intermediate riders interested in learning to ride unhooked the Light is also the kite to own.

New Strut Ends: Chamfered strut tips. The tips of the strut on the Instinct have been swept to a more aerodynamic shape, improving the airflow release and also eliminating the chances of the lines catching on the tip during launch or relaunch.
Anti Line Catcher > LE Tip: For the 2010 models Ozone have added a simple anti-line catcher to the tip ends that help ensure lines roll of the end of the leading edge to avoid line hang-ups which can create an un-safe launch situation. You will notice that we have designed this simple yet effective anti-line catcher with webbing but with a solid insert so it actually works. Other companies just add webbing which still allow the kite lines to get caught between the sail and the leading edge tube.
High
Quality Workmanship:
The Ozone team have over 15 years of paragliding design
and manufacturing experience which results in amazing
craftsmanship and stress management, accurate stitching
only where necessary. Self Rescue handles, Anti scuff
pads and Strut base reinforcement are all visible here.
Bar
Pressure Settings:
Multiple ettings for handling - with heavier bar pressure
and slower handling and lighter bar pressure and faster
handling respectively.
Bladders: The bladders on all instincts are made from the highest grade of PU with double layers of PU at both ends of the struts (see picture). This extra layer adds protection in the right area and is one of the reasons Ozone bladders are leading the industry.
