After almost 80 prototypes, the Flux flies faster than any wing we’ve ever made.
Not only does it create more immediate power, but the Flux’s precisely tightened canopy structure can now hold and manage far more wind. Load it up and the Flux will keep its shape and create more usable power instead of deforming.

Ride with the type of freedom that’s only possible when you drastically reduce the feeling of drag in a wing.

All you need to do is maintain a comfortable riding position while the Flux automatically shifts seamlessly through its gears; accelerating harder through the wind to allow you to push your limits beyond expectation.

The Flux is better for all types of riding that I do. The stability and rigidity of the sail shape along with reduced drag provide obvious performance benefits when riding with power from the wing, but the improvement is just as noticeable during transitions and when flagged out wave riding.

Made for this: it’s time to get better at everything

Trying to imagine the performance possibilities in a rapidly evolving sport like wingfoiling is a mind blowing task as riders continue to demand an expansion of their wing’s remit and capabilities.

Enter the Flux…

If you want to outpace the pack, jump higher, rip waves more freely or simply blast hard and fast across the open ocean, the Flux is supercharged with incredible air speed and power management. Add in the super-connected handling feel and then get ready to enjoy mind-altering sessions.

WHEN PERFORMANCE IS PARAMOUNT – ENTER THE FLUX

We knew it was time to throw everything into developing a wing to deliver the type of true high-performance that matters to most wingers; speed and control, because every aspect of your own performance stems from there.

The aim was to design a product to fuel riders’ confidence levels in stronger conditions, but the Flux goes far beyond that; it delivers an entirely new sense of connection so you can engage more completely with the wind at both ends of its strength spectrum.

WHEN PERFORMANCE IS PARAMOUNT – ENTER THE FLUX We knew it was time to throw everything into develo

The Flux features more panels than any other wing in our range to help reach the ideal load bearing structure and a super tight canopy for next level handling.

Each size in the range has an optimised shape to ensure you feel like you’re riding the same family of designs. Whether charging super high into wind on the smaller sizes, or holding more wind than you could imagine on the bigger sizes, every Flux model will help you ride faster and in more control.

The advantages of using a wing with less drag and reduced luffing will continue to reveal itself as your moves flow far more sweetly.

BLENDED PERFORMANCE ZONES

Our aim with every product is to make them fly as efficiently as possible but not at the expense of balancing the belief that our customers should be buying the best made product possible.

Owning our own factory in Vietnam that exclusively makes Ozone products offers real freedom in design.

Accelerating aerodynamic performance requires a complex blend of material selection with an intricate understanding of their implementation. Having 100% access to the factory gives our designers a unique advantage when it comes to understanding material application.

For a super high performance model like the Flux, it’s not only the materials themselves, but the intricate positioning and then handmade craftsmanship by our expert team of sewers that are key to the Flux’s superior aerodynamic handling.

While much of the design journey through the 80+ prototypes was about finding the magic point at which all these elements work in harmony, there are five features outlined below that really supercharge the handling in the Flux and help create its bigger sweet spot.

BLENDED PERFORMANCE ZONES Our aim with every product is to make them fly as efficiently as possible

01: PRE-LOADED LEADING EDGE

Say goodbye to baggy canopy cloth and hello to more performance and a longer lasting shape.
Using a performance Dacron material that is rigid and strong has allowed our designers to pre-load the leading edge and shape it to experience drastically less deformation under load.

Combined with optimised sail shaping and horizontal panels for a tighter canopy, the Flux delivers huge aerodynamic performance gains.

We have developed a new way to add tension to the leading edge. When we then put the sail on to the leading edge it transfers the tension into the sail, making it tight and clean. When we finally cracked that part of the puzzle, it was a major breakthrough in controlling the sail though the angle of attack range. You can, of course, have too much tension leading to deformation, it’s a fine balance.

DOM ZIMMERMANN, CO-DESIGNER

02: 20% LIGHTER AND STIFFER PERFORMANCE DACRON

The 125g performance Dacron of the leading edge is also used in the strut and further accentuates the superb rigidity in the frame. In combination with the new rigid handles the connection levels feel like you’re part of the wind!

Buckling under pressure is now far less of a concern and the Flux’s pre-loaded leading edge and stiffened strut work sublimely well in partnership with the other design features. A new, bigger sweet spot in handling will allow you to find more control in stronger conditions, point higher into the wind, reach higher speeds and also pump with greater efficiency, which makes the wing’s bottom end even more potent.

02: 20% LIGHTER AND STIFFER PERFORMANCE DACRON The 125g performance Dacron of the leading edge is al

When a wing luffs too much it can push down and impact your technique. The canopy is very clean and taut on the Flux. During the later R&D stages we knew we were closing in on our goal of making a wing that is rigid, tight and clean, to be as smooth and predictable as possible during all manoeuvres.

TORRIN BRIGHT, PRODUCT MANAGER AND TEST RIDER

03: MULTIPLIED SEAM STRENGTH AND CLEANER AERODYNAMICS

The leading edge features a high cell count which creates a more perfectly curved shape, resulting in a purer aerofoil.

The Flux is also designed with many more horizontal panels in the sail itself, distributing the load better along the warp of the fabric. From strut to tip, each seam creates a stronger line connection in the sail and takes more of the load, reducing canopy stretch.

We build natural strength into our products and therefore, more often than not, you’ll find our designs are lighter than even our competitors’ ‘exclusive’ reduced weight designs. Read more under in the ‘Born Light’ tab.

04: CARBON FIBRE HANDLES WITH EVA GRIP

Ergonomically angled front and back carbon fibre handles with EVA grip provide maximum control and comfort with incredible feel and response.

The front handle mount features a soft bumper to protect your head and board during water starts.

05: FORCE FIELD PERIMETER = PRIME PERFORMANCE FOR LONGER

Positioned specifically where canopy loads are greatest, a new, stronger canopy material on the leading and trailing edges provides a force field shield around the central mainsail section.

Channelling greater forces and helping to create a cleaner foil, further advantages are the reduced stretch and the fact that the Flux will maintain a better wing shape over its lifespan.

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 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.

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

The Flux is a culmination 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, like the Flux, to come to life.

 

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

There is no cloak and dagger secret to the Flux’s intense high performance levels; instead 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.

We haven’t used any material that’s unique to Ozone, and we’ve not had the marketing team conjure up a futuristic sounding new name for what is essentially lighter weight Dacron and stronger canopy material. We simply take all we know, choose the best proven materials and place the highest priority on aerodynamic evolution.

There is no cloak and dagger secret to the Flux’s intense high performance levels; instead our des

Ozone not only owns all its own production processes in the factory but also in design. Our highly advanced, custom built OzCAD software was re-worked specifically for the Flux from the ground up and means that our designers intimately understand every square inch of pressure exerted in each size of the wing.

Security

Always use the Leash. Attach it before you start.

  • Wrap the Waist Strap around your waist and close the buckle.
  • 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.
