"@ Tyler.  I am roughly the same weight and do twin tip a bit.  I would go with the 8 and 12.  The catalyst has such an amazing wind range that you would easily be able to keep kiting from 10 to 35 kts."

"Hey Tyler, Most guys in Durban ride 8 and 12m but we don't get the strong winds like Cape Town. Not sure what the wind is like your side but you should be fine with the 8 and 12 and if you want to kite in the light winds throw in the 14. "

"Just wondering about quiver sizing?  I'm not a fan of 4m gaps, whats common for 85 kg riders on twin tips? 8, 10 and 14?    7, 9 and 12 sounds so much better, suggestions? I currently ride C4's and am looking for a kite…"

"@ Bruce.   Excluding the handle passes, I feel exactly the same.   I am also probably going to the Catalyst.   The only downside that I found (and it isn't exactly tragic) is that it turns a bit slower that the Reo.    "

Bruce Gaynham commented on Fred Kloren's blog post Ozone Catalyst 2013
"If it's half as good as the 2012 model it will be great! I was flying the 10m Catalyst the other day in very light wind and I couldn't believe that I was managing to stay upwind. I also had it on the less bar pressure setting so I still…"

Ozone Catalyst 2013

Kiteworld Magazine recently tested the Catalyst (Issue 52), this is what they had to say:“Summary: From the build quality, fixtures, fittings and wonderful bar, to the super clean, balanced canopy to the feeling of having a refined BMW on the end of your lines. Anyone could get on this kite and have a really good time, from all round freestyle, to wave riding right back to just needing some grunt to get up and going to perfect your up wind riding.”In short if you want a kite that delivers in…See More

Ozone Catalyst vs Ozone Reo what are the differences?

Posted on September 9, 2012 at 13:19 0 Comments

Hi guys & girls!!

We often get the question from our clients "What is the difference between the Reo & Catalyst?". 

I thought I will write a detailed comparison, which I thought may benefit others with the same question. I hope it is of interest to all.

Let me start by saying that both kites are excellent choices, they have quite a few similarities but also some major differences. Before the Reo was brought out I have been riding the Catalyst as my wave kites…

Ozone REO 2013 OUT NOW Could they improve on arguably the best wave kite on the market?!

Posted on September 4, 2012 at 1:00 2 Comments

The first new REOs are on their way. We are very excited and also curious to see if the guys from Ozone did it again and improved a product that, according to my humble opinion, was as good as it gets!!

All the sizes throughout the range, from 4m to 12m, have the same feel. Whether you ride hooked in, park & ride, or unhooked the Reo is THE kite for the wave riders!! I can't wait for the first batch to arrive and to try them out!!

Day 2 The Unlimited Kite Experience Powered by Kitesports

Posted on August 16, 2012 at 12:58 2 Comments

Of all the days on the expedition, this is the one that I was looking forward to the most. It’s the most untouched and inaccessible part of the coastline that we are traversing. I drove it once, with my best mate and his old man, before the ban on beach driving. It was a fantastic day back then, what better than to do it again with another close mate and a pair of kites. Epic.

After waking up with another dull ache between the eyes (thanks Hansa), we headed down to the beach full of…

Hi Fred! 

 

Yeah i'm pretty excited about the prospect of leaving wintery Scotland behind in January!

Do you have any recommendations for good areas to rent an apartment? I guess i'll need to get a car to get to the beach?
