Ozone Kite Pump V2 | Double-Action High-Volume Pump

Ozone Kite Pump V2

The Ozone Kite Pump V2 is the pump that ships with most Ozone kite packages — and for good reason. Double-action inflation, a built-in colour-coded pressure gauge, foam sand filter and a kite leash all in one unit. If you're heading to the beach with any LEI kite, this is the pump to have in your bag.

Who It's For

Any kitesurfer who wants a reliable, fast-inflating pump that removes the faff from session prep. The extended barrel keeps you in an upright pumping position rather than bending double, which matters when you're inflating a 12m kite on a cold North Sea beach with numb fingers.

Key Features

• Double-action inflation — pumps on both the push and pull stroke, cutting inflation time roughly in half compared to a single-action pump
• Built-in calibrated pressure gauge — colour-coded dial reads in PSI; green zone marks the safe inflation range, red zone shows when to stop (max 13 PSI recommended)
• Foam air filter — fits over the intake valve and traps sand and grit before they enter the pump barrel and, more critically, before they enter your kite bladder
• Extended aluminium barrel — longer stroke gives higher volume per pump, and the extra height keeps your back straight during inflation
• Ergonomic handgrips and foot base — wide, stable base sits flat on the beach; contoured grips reduce fatigue over a long inflation session
• Kite leash included — attaches pump to your kite so it doesn't roll away in the wind while you pump
• Boston valve adaptors included — standard and Big Boston adaptors fit most modern kite valves regardless of brand

Real-World Feel

The double-action mechanism is the real difference-maker. A single-action pump only moves air on the downstroke; the V2 moves air on the upstroke too. On a 12m kite that's a noticeable reduction in the number of strokes needed — and your arms will thank you when you're inflating your third kite of the session on an instructor day. The gauge is integrated into the handle rather than a separate clip-on unit, so there's nothing to lose or forget at home. The foam filter is easy to overlook as a feature until the day you inflate without one and sand works its way into a bladder seam.

Setup & Use

1. Attach the appropriate Boston valve adaptor (standard or Big Boston) to the pump outlet — both are included
2. Clip the kite leash to your kite to stop the pump moving across the beach
3. Pump in an upright posture using the extended barrel — the double-action mechanism means both push and pull strokes move air
4. Watch the colour-coded gauge; stop pumping when the needle reaches your kite manufacturer's recommended PSI (typically 7–9 PSI for the leading edge, up to 13 PSI for struts on some models)
5. After use, rinse the pump in fresh water if used in salt or sandy conditions and allow to dry before storing

Materials

• Barrel: aluminium shaft with plastic end caps
• Filter: foam intake air filter
• Gauge: mechanical pressure dial, calibrated in PSI with colour-coded zones
• Adaptors: plastic Boston valve fittings (standard and Big Boston)

Pairs Well With

Partner the Pump V2 with a full Ozone kite setup — their LEI kites use standard Boston valves and the included adaptors are a direct fit.

Why We Stock It

We've run Ozone products for years and the Pump V2 keeps returning to our range because it simply works. At £44.95 it sits at the right price for a pump that lasts several seasons without the gauge breaking or the barrel seizing. The foam filter in particular is something we'd put in front of anyone who's had a kite bladder fail early — grit ingress during inflation is a leading cause, and this prevents it.

FAQs

What pressure should I inflate my kite to?

Most leading edges are recommended at 7–9 PSI; struts vary by kite model. Always check your kite's manual for the specific model's recommended PSI. The colour-coded gauge on the V2 makes it straightforward to stay in range without a separate gauge.

Is the Ozone Pump V2 compatible with kites from other brands?

Yes. It comes with standard and Big Boston valve adaptors that fit the vast majority of modern LEI kites from all brands — Cabrinha, Core, North, Duotone and others all use compatible Boston valves.

What does the foam filter actually do?

The foam filter sits over the air intake at the base of the pump. It stops sand, grit and debris being drawn up into the pump barrel during inflation. Without it, abrasive particles can pass through into the kite bladder and cause premature wear on the internal seams — a common source of early bladder failure.

Can I use this pump for a wing foil or inflatable SUP?

The V2 is designed for kite inflation pressures (up to 13 PSI). Wing foils and inflatable SUPs typically require higher pressures and larger volumes than this pump is built for — a dedicated electric or high-pressure hand pump would be more appropriate for those applications.

Is the pressure gauge accurate enough to trust?

The gauge is factory-calibrated and reliable for field use. For the precision required in kite inflation the V2's gauge is entirely sufficient — the colour-coded zones make it easy to read correctly even in bright sunlight or with wet hands.
