MATHIS IS THE MAN: 40 KNOTS, DONE!

After his first sessions on the Fusion wing when he joined Ozone just two months ago, Mathis Ghio boldly stated, “The goal is 40 knots.”. In early July he took his chance to lay down some real speed.

Taking the 3.6m Fusion to tackle a super strong forecast at Le Rouet, France, Mathis became the first wingfoiler to reach a top speed of 40 knots!

IKSURF DESIGNER INTERVIEW

Vortex Ultra-X: Dom Zimmermann

“The design brief was to create a kite that could jump as high as the Edge, but had better looping characteristics. It’s a great, fun, freeride kite for anyone who loves to hoon around on a twin-tip, but also a hydrofoil.”

FOILING MAG DESIGNER INTERVIEW

Fusion Wing: Simon Burner

“We’ve paid special attention to in-flight behavior, as a very performant wing means nothing if there’s a compromise in handling. There are many instances when racing or even freeriding when you need easy, accessible performance.”

GREENLAND GLORY DAYS

What does an Ozone snowkite designer do for holidays?

Stu Yarrow and friends, Camilla Ringvold and Anders Østmo Stubban, recently took some soon-to-be-released Ozone snowkite toys to Greenland, where they covered 1,600 kilometres in 19 days.

“It was a pure holiday” Stu explained. “Anders is getting married soon, so needed a mission to celebrate! We got a lift up to the ice at Kangerlussuaq (Point 660) in the south, and finished at Qaanaaq (Bowdoin Fjord) in the north.

“We lived on dried meals, chocolate and cuppa soup. My best luxury item was my pillow!

“Highlights of the trip? All the kiting when the weather was good. Also starting to see the spectacular Fjord landscape when you come off the ice after not seeing anything but flat snow, or another soul, for 2.5 weeks.”
