DELTA M CERTIFIED!

The Delta M has now passed flight and load tests (EN C) and is in production. Place your order soon, as our production is going to be extremely busy filling Delta orders on a first come first serve basis.
We are extraordinarily excited about this wing, and we firmly believe that it will redefine what is thought possible for the EN / LTF C class of wings with a standard aspect ratio. Our testing has shown that the Delta has excellent performance even for the EN / LTF D class, yet it is comfortable and easy to fly, with amazing stability in active air. We really look forward to hearing your thoughts, and getting feedback from the pilots all over the world who have already placed their orders.

FLX.3 NOW AVAILABLE FOR ORDER

The all new FLX.3 is now available for order. The latest version of Felix's Pro Model is perhaps the easiest wing in the world to learn the infinite tumble with, and is also very stable in negative maneuvers. An all new profile, generated by the same excellent software that produced the BBHPP and R10, has greatly improved every aspect of the FLX.3's flight. For a detailed Q&A about the FLX.3 with Felix himself, check out the Ozone site (english).

WATCH THE R10s LIVE AT THE EUROPEAN CHAMPIONSHIPS

The Euros are suffering from a bit of Austrian weather, but one task has been completed. In it, 9 out of the top 10 pilots were flying Ozone R10s! As you can probably imagine, we're praying for better weather so all of our R10 pilots there can enjoy a little racing. You can watch the tasks LIVE using Google Earth, here is the KML file (you must have Google Earth installed, or opened already on your computer). Ozone is a proud sponsor of the 2010 European Championships.

BI-CURIOUS? EXPERIENCE THE PLEASURES OF SPEED FLYING

Speed Flying is not just for the crazies! Check out this short film showing some amazing high wind soaring and just good old fashioned flying fun with smaller than average paragliders. Every paraglider pilot should consider owning a speed wing, as it vastly increases the range of conditions that you can fly in, meaning more airtime and more fun. Come along as the Ozone Team explains the basics of this amazing new branch of our sport.
