The only criticism we could think off where the unprotected hard edges on the end of the bar (possible damage to a wave board for example) and there is no (active) stopper ball system present. Suicide mode Catalyst (fits all leashes) Split point swiffel bar Ozone The four lines are 25m (20m or even 15m is also opted), which up front gave us a bit a sceptical feeling about such long lines. The bridles (without pulleys) are wide they reach all the way to the middle section near the wide in/deflate, like for example the Cabrinha Fx has, including the soft shelf to protect the canopy. It has a nice grip, a good safety system, a fair power/depower system (with a magnetic cord that won’t bounce around when depowered), a tiwstable/turnable depower line and a unique Ozone swiffel at the very low split point of the front lines.

There is little to find on the Ozone 2015 contact bar that isn’t taken care of. The way it is written can also be interpreted as an eleven… Gummy battens on the trailing edge Ozone Catalyst 2015 8m We have the impression these gummy battens are meant to reduce any shaking of the canopy. Funny little detail is that the size indicator figure eight is very largely written on the canopy. There are four gummy feeling “battens”, at the trailing edge of the kite which we have not seen before. The riding style for the Catalyst is placed between the Edge (hang time kite) and the C-kite C4. The Catalyst 2015 has a common (for cross-over/do it all kites) set up with 3 struts, one pump (without exact pressure instructions) and options to set the steering lines at the tip at several positions for more or less bar pressure and quicker/slower response of the kite. There is one wave kite, a trainer tube kite and a race kite.
