OZONE FLOW STATE…

Sitting between the Ozone Fly (entry level to intermediate freeride / wave riding) and the Ozone Flux (high end, full speed performance freeride), the Ozone 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 Ozone 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).

PROGRESSION

The Ozone 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.
