Enjoy every session. The Catalyst V5 provides everything you need for quick and natural skill development
RIDE WITH CONFIDENCE, AND ENJOY EVEN MORE…
● STABILITY
● DURABILITY
● PROGRESSIVE STEERING
VIDEO
The Catalyst V5 is based on the proven V4 planform, and now benefits from the following design developments:
● 10 BRIDLE LINE ATTACHMENT POINTS - now featured on the leading edge of all sizes (previously only on 14 & 16m). The added frame and canopy stability ensures an even, confidence-inspiring feel for inexperienced kiters across a broader range of conditions
● ENHANCED DURABILITY - Dacron reinforcements have been added to the sail sections that experience more abrasion through regular ground contact in the learning phase
● MORE ARC IN THE ROUNDER AIR FRAME delivers slightly faster handling for more progressive rider development and fun

TRUSTED FEATURES THAT DEFINE THE CATALYST'S AMAZING ACCESSIBILITY
OPEN ARC DESIGN
The lightweight one strut design combined with an open arc shape delivers smooth power with amazing light wind capabilities getting you up riding easily.
WIDE WIND RANGE AND PROGRESSIVE DE-POWER
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!
RE-LAUNCH IS SIMPLE
By turning the bar or using the re-launch balls on the leader lines, the kite will roll over into the re-launch position, even in light wind conditions.
RETRACTING REAR BRIDLE LINE SYSTEM
Introduced on the V4, the Catalyst's retracting rear bridle line system reduces the chance of line tangles. It also adds rear line tension when riding sheeted out, which increases reactivity to bar inputs, improving your sense of control across a broader range of conditions.
RELEASE SYSTEM
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.
DEVELOP YOUR PASSION AND MAKE YOUR FIRST MOVES
Once you’ve mastered the basics and are ready to expand your game, you’ll be surprised at the jumping capabilities of the Catalyst. Smooth lift with precise feedback makes learning your first ‘boosts’ easy, while the intuitive turning characteristics will also have you carving confidently in no time.

Factory Ownership Advantage
Ozone uniquely owns its own factory where all kites, wings, boards, hydrofoils, paragliders, speed wings and accessories are made. Guaranteeing hand checked quality control and the finest materials at every step, there are also excellent working conditions for all 1000 employees.
Designed with OZ-CAD
The future is now. All Ozone kite and wings are designed with our own highly advanced custom built CAD software that we control and modify with each new product design. Allowing for specifically tailored technical developments, our designers can maximise performance while also minimising waste.
Single-Layer Laser Cut
Ozone kites and wings are crafted with exceptional precision using advanced laser technology to cut each panel individually in a single layer. This meticulous approach ensures consistent accuracy across all products, from entry level to high performance models. Our commitment to high standards in production reflects our dedication to delivering reliable, high-quality equipment for riders at every level.
Teijin TechnoForce Triple Ripstop canopy
Teijin is the world’s leading supplier of technical performance materials for marine sports, setting the benchmark in quality with proven superiority in dynamic strength and durability. The triple rip-stop canopy material has an advanced coating to increase strength, rigidity and durability while improving feedback to the rider for a more direct feeling.
4-line Pulley-less System
NO pulleys, NO problems. We design all our inflatable kites without pulleys, to inherit the unique Ozone feeling and performance across our range.
Fast Flow One-Pump Inflation System
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 Struts and Leading Edge, with clips to seal the hoses to prevent unwanted air flow in case of damage.
Internal reinforcements
What’s on the inside counts too - we use top of the line materials and strategic internal reinforcements for increased strength and durability.
Overlap Flat Seams
Overlap flat seam construction improves sail control resulting in an overall cleaner canopy.
Load Distribution Panels
Dacron reinforcements are used on all loaded areas for enhanced load distribution. This means all loads are spread evenly into the sail ensuring the kite flies and performs at its best.
Direct Connect Struts
Our Direct Connect construction method improves load distribution between the Leading Edge, Struts and Canopy. Struts are connected directly to the Leading Edge with internal and external reinforcements. This unique construction method ensures clean profiles are maintained with the optimum canopy tension.
Reinforced Trailing Edge
Double layer Trailing Edge reinforcement with an internal lightweight Dyneema line reduces canopy wear and helps to maintain optimum Trailing Edge tension as designed.
Reinforced Leading Edge and Struts
The Leading Edge and Struts are reinforced in high stress areas to ensure the kite canopy remains in shape and performs at its best.
Low Profile Aerodynamic Scuff Pads
Leading Edge bumpers are often large and unnecessary cosmetic items. At Ozone we build our kites and wings for performance and durability using the best materials & components available. Any areas requiring scuff protection we use a lightweight durable material with superior abrasion resistance, while keeping a low profile in order to reduce drag and maintain performance.
Unique bladder construction
Our bladders are constructed in-house with advanced custom built welding machines. Double layered sections are applied to any potential wear areas.
Anti-Snag Line Deflectors
The Anti-Snag line deflectors prevent bridles and lines from tangling around the wing tip. Safety is increased when launching with a partner and water re-launch is made easier.
Tuned bridle geometry
We work extensively during our R&D process to develop the size range to feel in tune with each other. Every kite has a unique bridle layout, individually tested and fine-tuned to maximize the feeling and performance.
Fool proof line connectors
Fool proof line connectors prevent incorrect rigging of the flying lines to the kite.
