FLOW STATE…

Sitting between the Fly (entry level to intermediate freeride / wave riding) and the Flux (high end, full speed performance freeride), the Flow is a brand new wing to the line-up.

When it comes to improving the fluidity and ease of your riding, the extended front carbon handle offers the advantages of a boom, like flying the wing one handed and easy hand placement, yet it packs small and doesn’t need to be removed after your session.

Although it replaces the WASP in the range, the Flow is an entirely different concept, based on the handling advantages programmed in the Flux’s DNA. The Flow, however, has less span and lower aspect ratio than the Flux, offering more low end power and easier handling.

The tough and scuff-able airframe delivers clean aerodynamic performance, but is also built for the kind of beach handling that intermediates put a wing through.

The Flow is a fully featured design and, when you’re ready to ride faster, harder and for longer with less arm fatigue in stronger conditions, a harness line can be attached around the rigid handle mounts or tube for customised rider preference (sold separately).

WHAT YOU FEEL

  • Control and comfort, even during long sessions
  • Smooth overhead, excellent control during tacks and gybes
  • Adaptability to perform in different wave conditions
  • Increased control when flagged out
  • Direct response handling
  • Large power range
  • Speed and lift for jumping

WHY YOU FEEL IT

  • Reduced span and lower aspect ratio provide accessible all-round performance
  • EVA covered, rigid, carbon fibre handles offer direct control and comfort
  • Semi-rigid de-power/surf handle
  • Stiff airframe for direct response performance
  • Spanwise seam orientation helps spread the loads into the sail, reducing deformation.
  • Expert sewing and material placements ensure light weight performance with integrated strength

PROGRESSION

The Flow has a responsive, lightweight and easy feel. Delivering both progressive power with good low end torque to get you up on foil, it also has range to handle stronger winds and speed without losing control. Highly manoeuvrable and yet incredibly stable overhead, tacks and gybes are made easy when passing the wing from hand to hand, giving you time to relax and complete the manoeuvre.

The extended front handle allows for balanced one handed steering, opening up all sorts of expressive carving manoeuvres in flat water. Instead of riding with a locked-in two-handed position, you can maintain power and control while holding the wing out to the side in one hand, offering a very fluid and free feeling.

ON THE WAVE

If your primary aim is riding waves and swells, whatever the size and quality, the Flow is for you. The span and aspect-ratio are perfectly tuned to help prevent wing tip touchdowns and to provide a beautiful centre of power when riding one handed.

The extended front handle is also particularly good for wave riding where you might quickly want to switch between powered up sailing and drifting. In small wave conditions, or in cross-onshore wind swell, it’s not always worth the big movement to grab the surf handle. The Flow’s longer front handle allows you instead to find a balance point to steer the wing one handed and still benefit from having a little pull from the wing.

NEW SEMI-RIGID SURF HANDLE

The Flow is equipped with a new semi-rigid surf handle that gives you even more control and prevents the wing inverting. In good waves there’s nothing like ripping back and forth with a beautifully balanced wing drifting obediently behind you.

FREESTYLE

The Flow’s compact design, tight sail, on-tap power, rigid handles, excellent manoeuvrability and impressive boost capabilities make it a great choice for freestylers. It’s fast for spinning and is excellent if you want to get inverted as the sail behaves well when going from positive to negative loads. No matter if you are just starting to get air or a seasoned freestyler; the Flow ticks all the boxes.

BUILT TO BE RIDDEN!

We’ve used the reliable and rugged Teijin dacron on the leading edge and struts to provide excellent resistance to flex and abrasion. The canopy is made from Teijin’s proven 55g triple ripstop because this is a wing designed for constant action.

As with all our products we were able to save weight but still ensure integrated strength is built in throughout. The Flow is made with great care by the hands of our expert team of sewers in our manufacturing facility.

TUNED WITH CUSTOMISED DESIGN SOFTWARE

Using our custom OzCAD design software developed in-house, every stitch and square inch of material placement is carefully calculated and results in a super clean finish and well tensioned sail.

Each part of the Flow’s design has been tailored to create an all-round performance wing with a mid-price range on which any intermediate through to expert wingfoiler can rip on without restraint.

A CULMINATION OF ALL WE’VE LEARNT FROM 25 YEARS OF AERODYNAMIC DEVELOPMENT IN OUR OWN FACTORY

The Flow is the result of all that we’ve learnt through more than two decades of Ozone running its own factory that builds paragliders, wingsuits, kites, wings and accessories. A thousand highly trained employees apply their skills across nine factory floors, including the dedicated prototyping department that operates full time. The turnaround on ideas into physical products is super fast and allows for the development of strong, lightweight and perfectly trimmed products to come to life.

Intense high performance levels are borne from the fact that our designers capitalise on having 100% access to the factory to try new ideas and then produce as many prototypes as it takes to make products feel just right.

Ozone not only owns all its own production processes in the factory but also in design. Our highly advanced, custom built OzCAD software, built from the ground up, means that our designers intimately understand every square inch of pressure exerted in each size of every product. Part of our design team is dedicated to the upgrade of the CAD code as well as the addition of new modules and features to the program as the development of our products continues.

BORN LIGHT; GENETICALLY STRONG

At Ozone we have always believed in designing lightness and strength into our paragliders, kites and now wings, to be as efficient in flight as possible.

Naturally, the lighter the kite or wing is, the better it will fly. The stronger it is, the longer its performance will last.

We avoid adding surplus features or unnecessary cosmetic items to our designs and use top of the line materials put through a rigorous testing programme.

If you compare the weights of any Ozone kite or wing against the most dedicated light weight specific products produced by our competitors, you’ll see that all our products are just born light. Even on our entry level designs we don’t compromise the handling benefits that airborne products undoubtedly have through being lighter.

Combined with cutting edge manufacturing and highly skilled craftspeople our designs are Born Light; Genetically Strong.

Technical, performant, durable and efficient – the lightness and strength is built in.

Thank you for purchasing this Ozone product. Our mission is to design and build quality products with cutting edge performance that are easy, fun and safe to use.

At Ozone we are passionate about sports, and it is this passion that drives our design team to perfect and develop products that we love to ride with. We are proud of the quality of our products, and are constantly searching for the best components and materials to use in our designs. We manufacture in our own high-quality production facility in Vietnam, which guarantees a build quality that we are proud to put the Ozone name on.

  • Adjust to fit snug around your waist
  • If you become overpowered or loose control let go of the wing, it will de-power on the leash line.
  • If you need to completely free yourself from the wing undo the Waist Strap. Be aware the wing will likely become out of reach.

First Use

  • Never learn to use this product in more than 10 knots of wind.
  • The wing has a de-power handle on the Leading Edge and power handles on the Strut.
  • When carrying the wing use the de-power handle.
  • To practice sheeting the wing for power, first take hold of the front power handle, then reach back to take hold of a rear power handle.
  • Sheet the wing in to power up, and out to de-power.
  • Practice sheeting the wing in and out to feel how the power is generated.
  • Practice handling the wing on land before going in the water.

Water Self Rescue

  • Turn the wing to face the power handles upwards.
  • Open the Leading Edge OUT valve to deflate.
  • Fold the wing tip on tip then roll to the centre.
  • Screw the valve back in to seal the bladder.
  • Open the Strut OUT valve to deflate.
  • Make sure no water enters the valves while they are open.
  • Fold the wing in two or three sections.
  • Screw the valve back in to seal the bladder.
  • Wrap the leash line around the wing to keep it secured.
  • Wrap the waist strap around the wing, close the buckle and tighten to secure.
  • Paddle/swim back to shore with your board and wing.
  • In case you become separated from your board we recommend leaving the strut inflated for buoyancy.

Packing

  • Open the OUT valves. The large valves dump air quickly.
  • Roll one side of the wing to the centre.
  • Squeeze all air out from the strut.
  • Roll up the opposite side of the wing to the centre.
  • Screw the valves back in a few turns and close the protection covers.
  • Fold in sections from the trailing edge to fit into the bag.

NOTE:
If packing on the water, after rolling the wing up, screw the valves back in to seal the bladders to avoid water entering.

Product Care

This is a technical product used in harsh outdoor environments.
Use common sense and care for your equipment.

Never inflate this product on a rough surface.

Inflate slowly and ensure the bladders are inflating correctly. If you see a twist or something looks strange stop pumping immediately and check bladders. They may need re-inserting to ensure they inflate properly.

Once you have inflated secure the product. Do not use heavy objects. Boards and fins can damage the material.

Never leave this product un-used for long periods of time in the sun and wind. UV, canopy flapping due to wind, sand etc hitting the sailcloth can all severely shorten the products lifespan.

Never pack this product wet, only when completely dry. Packing wet can damage the material and its coatings and may lead to dye running. This is not valid for warranty.

Never leave this product inside a car or in direct sunlight.

Anything is Possible…

Get your own branded kite – the ultimate advertising billboard

Millions of people go to the beach every year and kitesurfing is the most visually spectacular beach sport around, drawing the eyes of attention from everyone. Kites are huge and kites with a customized design can be amazing advertising spaces.

Flying up and down the beach, park or snow all day long, these spaces can be used to advertise local and international businesses, kite-schools or simply for your own kite with a design that suits you perfectly and makes you stand out a little more from the crowd. If you have your own company you can add your company logo to your kites which allows them to be written off as a business operating expense. How cool is that!

For mainstream companies the opportunity to invest in a flying Billboard is obvious at a fraction of the cost to normal advertising. So far we have worked with many of the World’s leading brands making them kites or making kites for riders sponsored by mainstream brands that see the benefit in Kite sports.

What does it Cost?

Quotes vary depending on the complexity and size of the logo or design. We can only give a quote once we have the info (see above)

LOGO STUCK:

For logos to be stuck onto only 1-2 kites, we print the logo onto the white rip-stop sticky-back material. Then the logo is cut out and then stuck on the kite. The stickers typically stick very well however we cannot guarantee them for the life of the kite.

CUT INTO SAIL:

If the logo is not too complicated we can cut into the sail as its single surface (or both surfaces of foil kites). The logos look amazing and the light shines through beautifully. Price depends on the size and how complicated the logo is. Please note that we can only use our standard colour fabrics. Ask your local distributor for feasibility.
