Ozone Afterburner V1
This is Ozone's new high aspect parawing. More cells, more performance.
From Ozone:
High-Aspect Parawing for Warp Speed Upwind Performance
Hit the Gas
Our aim was to make the fastest parawing with the best upwind performance on the market. The Afterburner goes upwind like nothing else you have ridden — hammer upwind with ease from your finishing point to make the biggest downwind run possible. It is not for everybody, but it is for you.
Canopy Design
- Single surface design philosophy pushed to the next performance level
- High aspect-ratio for more forward drive, greater speed and superior upwind performance
- Increased cell count with fully supported rib structure for perfect load spread and an ultra-clean canopy
- Lightweight tabs reduce weight, bulk and drag
Aerodynamic Performance
- Clean and rock solid leading edge for superloaded sessions
- Minimal canopy flap when sheeted out for reduced drag and higher depower efficiency
- Designed for hooked-in harness riding — each Afterburner includes a 25cm Fixed Loop Harness Line attached to the bar
Bridle Layout
- Bridle line length balanced between maximum aerodynamic performance and good stashability
- Thinner Kevlar lines on the upper level to reduce drag
- Mid level and risers use thicker, stiffer lines proven for rash & tangle-free stash and redeployment — as featured on the Pocket Rocket V2 and PowerPack
Monobloc Carbon Control Bar
- Ultra-lightweight monobloc carbon bar with textured EVA grip — only 90 grams
- 35cm length for an ideal balance of easy stashing and wing control
- Index finger front overhang for increased comfort and depower control
- A-line protection nub provides extra grip between index and middle fingers
- Thumb resting spot on bar end for enhanced comfort and feel
