2025 Ozone Contact Water V5 Control Bar

Ozone Contact Water V5 Control System

Sizes: 38cm / 45cm / 50cm / 55cm / 62cm

Simple, safety-oriented, and versatile marks the Contact Water V5. The standout feature is the Click-In Loop, inspired by the design of a car seat buckle, a push-away safety system that reloads with a single "click". The Click-In Loop is AFNOR NF S52-503-certified for the ultimate reliability.

You can fine-tune the Contact Water V5 with three harness loop options and two release modes — the recommended below-the-bar flag-out system and an advanced mode for unhooked riders. The custom Stainless Steel Swivel Rings naturally untwists lines when turning the Spinning Head.

If you're looking for a dependable control bar that will make every session just that much easier, consider the Contact Water V5.

Tech Features

Click-In Loop

Push-away quick release with an innovative one-step Click-In reload function that is incredibly intuitive. The release handle fits comfortably in the hand, it is quick and easy to activate the release by pushing the handle away. A self-positioning release mechanism locates automatically, ready to be re-loaded by simply ‘clicking’ in the loop. The Click-In Loop is AFNOR NF S52-503 certified.

Bio-based Dyneema® Modular Flying Lines

Colour coded 500kg front / 300kg back lines are precision cut, pre-stretched, spliced and sewn in our own production facility to guarantee accuracy. We use the highest quality Bio-based Dyneema® – this material has the same performance as conventional Dyneema® with a carbon footprint that is 90% lower than generic HMPE fiber.

Modular Design

Our modular design makes adding or removing extensions quick and easy via removable pigtail end connectors.

Ergonomic EVA Grip

3D pressed EVA with ergonomic shaping and a lightly sanded finish provide the ultimate bar grip. It is color coded with the leader lines and flying lines for an added visual safety feature. 

Safety Notes

Below the Bar Release (Recommended Mode)

All riders should attach their Kite Leash to the Flag Out System. This is the small eyelet on the Stainless Steel Swivel Ring. When the release is activated, the kite will flag out and fall to the water/ground.

Advanced riders

(Use at your own risk, not recommended)

Riders performing unhooked tricks or who are more confident and have spent many hours Kiting can attach in Expert mode, where the loop part runs through the large eye of the steel ring. When letting go of the bar in Expert mode (without activating the release e.g. missed handle pass) the kite will depower but WILL NOT flag out.

Be aware in this situation, the Quick Release will be out of reach and can therefore not be released. When hooked in and activating the Quick Release the steel ring automatically slips off and the kite will flag out.
