23.01.2022 We are excited to announce the release of the new Delta4 en-C paraglider by Ozone!! The D4 incorporates a wide range of technical advancements and is a quantum leap from the Delta3. Now taking orders at Planet Paragliding https://planetparagliding.com.au/products/delta-4 #flyozone #delta4

22.01.2022 LM 7 NOW AVAILABLE The LM7 is a lightweight XC machine incorporating the latest high-performance features from our competition range. It is a light, tight, and ...compact 3-line package. The profile, planform, and arc are all evolved from the Zeno, with a more moderate 6.5 AR. The LM7 offers a level of agility, comfort and safety closer to the Delta series, with near-Zeno glide performance. Most importantly, it is an incredibly fun wing to fly! At 650 grams lighter than the M7, it is nicer to carry, packs smaller, and benefits from a lighter sail. The significant weight reduction not only improves the inflation characteristics, but also livens up the feedback and improves the agility and behavior of the wing in active air. The LM7 is a significant step up from its predecessor in terms of performance, especially in accelerated flight, but with better collapse recovery characteristics, reduced pilot workload, and more cohesion in turbulent air. It is the ideal wing for experienced pilots stepping up to the D class who want the performance and pleasure of a modern 2-liner, but with more comfort, security, and confidence.

20.01.2022 Delta 4 coming...

17.01.2022 THE MOST ECOLOGICAL HELISKI Our friends Antoine Boisselier, Guillaume Broust and Nicolas Plain scored an epic combo mission in their backyard. Gullaume reports...: "We take-off from Saint-Hilaire, France (1000m), skis on foot and speedriding wing in the back. With the spring conditions, we are at the top of the Dent de Crolles (2000m) within 30mn. This the D-day to try this adventure! We glide towards Granier to climb up to 2800m before leaving towards Belledonne. Then we go back to Les 7laux and gain altitude to reach our landing place: the wild summit of Grand Replomb. We fold our gliders to take out our speedriding wings, and we do a huge run in the wild mountains atmosphere. Beautiful but delicate speedriding run, a little leeward with an overloaded 15kg backpack! Then we take-off on paragliding from the bottom of the mountain (800m below), and 10 min later we are back to the top! This time we pack our gliders and we ski down the south-west face with *** spring snow conditions! We then take-off for the 3rd time, at 5:30 pm. We take a thermal that brings us again to 2800m at 18h for an incredible sunset over Belledonne. Back home after a long transition over the valley of Grsivaudan and top landing in St-Hilaire du Touvet" Video courtesy of Guillaume Broust

14.01.2022 Ozone ACR risers on the Delta 4 have been a giant step forward for the Mantra 7 and now bring full angle of attack control to the C class with light and agile rear riser control. Tech like this has made the Delta the most popular and highest selling glider series ever. The Delta 4 brings a quantum leap forward to that series so we will be very excited to see our demo wings in the air next week. Contact Planet Paragliding for a test flight.

05.01.2022 The 2018 SuperFinal held in the jurassic landscape of Baixo Guandu, Brazil has come to an end. The last day of competition was another day of sunshine and stro...ng thermals. A 99km task took the pilots on a triangle through the region. A mere seven points separated the first two pilots after 8 tasks, and there were 172 points between the top ten. It was a day for staying in the gaggle. It was a fast race at full speed between thermals, all the way round. In the end was French Pilot and current World Champion Pierre REMY who took the win followed by his compatriot Julien Wirtz. In third place was our own R&D team member, Russell Ogden, who added another podium to his impressive career in XC Competition. In the womens category, it was Ozone team pilot Meryl Delferriere, from France, who took the win and finished seventh overall. In second place was Yael Margelisch(CHE) followed by Kari Ellis (AUS) in third. All winners flew Enzo 3s, with 8 out of the top 10 overall on Ozone. Thanks to Ozone team pilot, Cody Mittanck, for the daily reports we have been sharing since day one. Here is his final insight from the capstone of the 2018 comp season: "We couldnt have asked for a better day to cap an incredible week. Conditions were on from the starting gun and never let up. The pilot quality in the Superfinal is so similar that on these strong and fast days the majority of pilots arrive within only a few minutes of each other at ESS. Even though the point gap is very tight every point matters for those fighting for the podium and finishing well in this field of talent is no easy feat. At the last climb pilots cranked up the intensity, trying to get into the best position to maximize the lift. While simultaneously watching other pilots in their periphery. One extra turn and you can go from 1st to 60th in this game. From the last climb it was a pulley to pulley drag race. The crowds at goal saw a pack of wings slowly coming into view. From the ground it may look slow and peaceful but from the air holding full speed on a competition paraglider through turbulence is like dropping in on class 5 rapids in a kayak with no paddle and your hands overhead flying a kite. We had 9 days of racing here in Baixo. The competition started with difficult and light days that caused even the local vultures to stay in their roosts and yet even on these days pilots managed to make goal. By the end of the week conditions were so strong it was a mistake to stop in anything less than 5mps. The top pilots managed to navigate the technical conditions while still being able to out maneuver the entire gaggle on the fast pace days. Well earned!"

05.01.2022 nice delta 4 write up from ziad

05.01.2022 "What difference does it make if a glider is short or tall? We decided to find out by making some extensions for the RoadRunner and going out and testing it. Re...sults are... interesting! It feels more docile and things take a little while to happen, so thats nice. Its also nearly impossible to fly as it feels mega weird and the pendulum effect screws with your brain Andre Bandarra and Gemma take ground handling to a different level.

02.01.2022 After four valid tasks in great conditions, The Montegrappa Trophy has come to an end. Congrats to the winners, Ozone team pilots Honorin Hamard and Meryl Delferriere!

02.01.2022 A PEEK AT THE ZEOLITE The 2019 X-Alps equipment setup weighs in at under 5.5kg for wing, XC harness, and reserve. The Zeolite itself is just 2.85 kg. It is desi...gned for use in the X-Alps race environment, which means small and unimproved launches, technical top-landings, small & restricted LZs, and strong alpine conditions. From the R&D Team: Forget everything you think you know about the compromises in 2-Line paraglider designs. The Zeolite is easy to launch, easy to land in small/restricted LZs, and has the most comfortable B-handle control we have experienced. This is a new breed of 2-Line design. Well post more info on this exciting new gear in the coming weeks, and we wish all of the athletes in this years race the best of luck. Thanks to Manuel Nuebel for the review.

01.01.2022 Some good XC flying principles to ponder. Its in French with subtitles but worth a watch if you can keep up!
