Surfstore Africa Newsflash

MANY THANKS to all who came to celebrate with us. On Saturday we had wind conditions better than we could have hoped for. With the wind changing its force slowly troughout the day we had our whole range of Ozone C4`s tested, and the sky above CAPRICORN BEACH filled with Ozone kites!
THANKS as well to the team of the ''INDIGO BAR'' for the snoek braai and the party that kept us busy for the rest of the night.
On Sunday the wind just didn`t want to come anymore. That gave all of us the chance to cure our hangover ;-)
Thanks again to everybody for coming! Keep your eyes open for the next Ozone C4 testing in or around Cape Town and for more ''KITE FEVER'' parties in the ''INDIGO BAR''.

CHEERS,
Surfstore Africa TEAM

The Catalyst is Ozone’s latest creation, 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 the Light XC, 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.
It’s as easy as 1, 2, 3:

1. Rock solid stability with mega de-power: The Catalyst is a very stable kite in all sizes, with increased de-power
abilities compared to the Light XC.
2. Proven Safety System and Super easy re-launch: Our front line flag out and below the bar safety system
is time proven successful. This system enables total de-power of the kite, simple reassembly of the safety system,
and an easy “pull on the bar” re-launch.
3. Smooth flying with Predictable Handling: Throughout the entire wind window the Catalyst flies smooth
and stable, offering controllable power delivery with great handling characteristics.

The Catalyst is set to accelerate your kiting abilities, whether you are an entry level rider through to the seasoned wave or free rider.

This awesome new kite is already available from SURFSTORE AFRICA!

The new Ozone C4 has arrived in Cape Town, and is about to impact as an Atomic Bomb in the Local Kiteboarding scene! The Ozone C4 has already changed the perception Kiteboarders around the world had about what is possible to do with a Kite, after having been released for only 3 weeks in Europe. The Ozone C4 is completely redefining the limits of Kiteboarding possibilities.

Only one word to qualify the Ozone C4: Un-BE-LIE-VA-BLE!!

Big Air / Airtime: Dynamite!!

Wave riding: H-Bomb!!

Free-style: TNT!!

Enough talking, come to our new Ozone Kiteshop in Milnerton (Long Ocean Factory / 2^nd wind Kite repairs) and get a Ozone C4 to try, and you will understand by yourself what the C4 is about!

The Ozone Kiteboarding Team is VERY excited for 2010. 2009 09 has been off the wall success for us...on hell of a year and our thanks to you all for your support and help in driving this success.

For sure we had a few areas we did not get spot on like the SPORT + 11m and 13m turning too slow for your liking was probably the single biggest feedback.

Just want you all to know that the Ozone development team is working his ass off here and listening and acting on all the feedback we get to improve in all areas we can – our philosophy has always been Kaizen  (cf. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaizen)

That is what drives us forward and we look forward to the next 10 years of working in this incredible Kitesurfing industry.

I think you can all agree that Ozone has taken a serious step towards improvement in the past year with our move to Raglan. The Team is finally together in a killer place for our work and my hats off to the Team for the achievements we have made in the past 12 months

The ZEPHYR has been a project we have been working on for well over a year. This 17m beauty will turn any low wind day into a fun day on the water and is now shipping worldwide. Test-fly one for yourself and see what all the excitement is about.
