When did you start working for Ozone, what is your background and previous experience?

I started working with Ozone in 2019. Been working as a Kite Instructor and Kite Dealer/Distributor back in Argentina, but my main job has been always software development, which as such I’ve been working for many companies around the globe.

Which Ozone related discipline are you most passionate about?

I’m currently having a complicated relationship with all sports we develop at Ozone, I still posses my old passion about kitesurfing, nothing has changed there, after riding many years, I got introduced into paragliding by Matt Taggart, and since then, has been a constant battle for time to go flying or go kiting; last year I’ve started to hydrofoil… and oh boy, its all complicated now. It’s a real struggle to find time to work!, but to be true to myself, I’ll saw today it’s paragliding.

Can you describe why paragliding means so much to you?

I think flying it’s so demanding that it forces you to detach yourself from the problems of the ground, and be truly free. It’s a very unique sensation, and it’s one of the maximum expression of what adventure means to me. And I think the very nature of the sport is what makes it very addictive, it’s hard to explain…

What’s your favourite part of working for Ozone?

Although we mainly work remotely, I love when we get together either via Zoom or in the “bunker”, each one of us has a unique perspective and makes the experience of doing anything very enjoyable, no to mention that riding all together and having a good time is always fun too!

On the more strictly profesional side, I work a lot with our designer Andy and the other OS developer Ulric, specially with Ulric, soo much experience and much knowledge, it’s very enjoyable to share work with true talent like that.

What is your favourite Ozone piece of equipment and why?

Call me old fashion, but I love the Torque V2 and the Amp. Just love the direct feeling it has… but last year I got hooked into hydrofoiling. and after trying before few times with other kits, the Apex V1 it did come to the rescue and actually made the whole learning process very easy and enjoyable, now I’m loving it, and passing the word to all my friend to try it ?
