How Ozone’s New Flux Wings are Revolutionizing Kite Boarding and Foiling
The landscape of watersports is in a state of constant, exhilarating evolution, driven by relentless innovation in design and materials. Ozone’s introduction of the Flux Wing series marks a significant step change, one that’s genuinely revolutionizing the experience of both traditional kiteboarding and the burgeoning sport of wing foiling. These wings aren’t just incremental upgrades; they represent a fundamental rethinking of aerodynamic efficiency and rider connection, pushing the limits of speed, control, and accessibility for a broad spectrum of enthusiasts.

Aerodynamic Mastery and Unleashed Speed
At the core of the Flux’s revolutionary performance is an obsessive focus on aerodynamic efficiency. The wing features a lean, high-aspect-ratio design with a significantly swept leading edge, optimized through extensive prototyping and Ozone’s own OzCAD software. This refined shape minimizes drag to an unprecedented degree. What riders immediately notice is the sheer speed. The Flux wings are built to fly faster and glide further, giving riders a new advantage whether they’re racing on flat water or chasing swells.
The high-segment-count leading edge creates an incredibly smooth, pure aerofoil, which translates directly into less turbulence and more usable power. This efficiency means riders can maintain a comfortable trim while the wing manages gusts with superior stability, transferring energy into forward momentum rather than disruptive lift or drag. For foiling, this is a game-changer: effortless speed generation allows for earlier take-offs, a significantly extended low-end wind range, and the ability to maintain lift through maneuvers that previously required significant pumping.
Unprecedented Control and Rider Connection
Beyond raw speed, the Flux series—especially the advanced Ozone Flux Kite Wings V2 and the Ultra-X versions—stands out for its connection to the rider. The shift to rigid, ergonomically designed carbon fiber handles is a crucial element of this revolution. Unlike soft webbing handles, the Flux’s stiff, EVA-covered handles provide a super-direct connection to the airframe. This rigidity translates every input from the rider into immediate steering and power adjustments, making the wing an intuitive extension of the body.
This precise control is evident in every phase of riding. When pumping onto the foil, the stiff airframe and pre-loaded canopy allow for an incredibly efficient power transfer. During high-speed maneuvers like tacks and gybes, the wing remains composed, reducing drag and enabling quicker, more fluid transitions. For wave riding, the stiffness is critical; when flagged out on the de-power handle, the Flux is light, balanced, and stable, following the rider passively and allowing full focus on the wave face. This stable ‘flagging’ ability is a major advantage for riders seeking pure surf feeling.
Cutting-Edge Materials and Durability
The construction of the Ozone Flux is as innovative as its shape. Ozone, known for its in-house manufacturing, employs advanced materials to achieve the perfect balance of stiffness, low weight, and longevity. The introduction of materials like the high-tenacity Dacron (and the even lighter, stiffer Aluula in the Ultra-X model) for the airframe enhances structural integrity. This resistance to deformation allows the wing to maintain its designed aerofoil shape under high loads, providing a wider, more controllable wind range.
Attention to detail, such as the strategic use of wear-resistant ripstop along the leading and trailing edges, and the implementation of anti-flap battens, ensures that the high performance doesn’t degrade quickly. This robust build quality means the Flux maintains its “out-of-the-bag” performance over a much longer lifespan, a significant benefit for committed riders.
The New Standard for Freeride and Race
The result of these innovations is a wing that defies categorization.…

In the fast-paced world of cannabis consumption, the market for infused pre rolled joints continues to evolve, catering to the diverse tastes and preferences of consumers. As we delve into 2024, several intriguing trends are shaping the landscape of this niche yet burgeoning sector.
Edibles encompass a wide range of cannabis-infused products, including candies, chocolates, baked goods, beverages, and more. Unlike traditional methods of cannabis consumption, such as smoking or vaping, edibles are ingested orally and metabolized in the digestive system, resulting in a slower onset of effects and longer-lasting highs.
