Ozone's Flux V1 Wing Dominates Spring Wingding Regatta

Ozone team rider Johnny Heineken recently dominated the Spring Wingding Regatta in San Francisco by winning all 14 races using Ozone's all-new Flux V1 wing. He was joined by fellow Ozone rider Ken Adgate, who narrowly missed out on the podium by just a single point.

Both riders were ecstatic to have benefitted from the Flux's immense performance, allowing them to win across a wide range of conditions. This blog post delves deeper into Ozone's latest wing release and its impact on the wind sport racing scene.


The St. Francis Yacht Club - A Credible Venue for Windsport Racing:

The St. Francis Yacht Club race series events have long been known for their professional standards and credibility in the windsport racing scene. Johnny Heineken, who progressed through the dinghy sailing ranks at the St. Francis yacht club as a youngster, has now become a world champion in kite racing and channels his passion for speed into wingfoil races.


Flux V1: The Ultimate Racing Wing:

Although the Flux wasn't designed specifically for racing, blending the best leading-edge materials with expert aerodynamic know-how honed from almost 25 years of paragliding and kiteboarding wing production has led to the creation of an ultimate racing wing.

The Flux is an all-new model to be introduced to the Ozone wing line-up in May. The Flux's impressive performance across a wide range of conditions, as witnessed at the Spring Wingding Regatta, has created significant anticipation for its upcoming release.


Ozone's Production Flexibility:

Ozone benefits from the unique production flexibility that comes from the careful management of its own factory in Vietnam. Unlike other companies that release new versions of each model every year, Ozone releases products only once all designers and the R&D team are agreed that significant improvements have been made.

Once agreed, there is very little lag time between a product being signed-off and then released publicly, as all equipment that comes out of the factory is made to order. Ozone delivers products within 15-30 days of order, allowing shops to carry just the right amount of gear they need to sell over the coming month.


Conclusion:

Ozone's Flux V1 wing has made a significant impact on the windsport racing scene, as witnessed at the recent Spring Wingding Regatta in San Francisco. Its upcoming release has generated significant excitement, and its impressive performance across a wide range of conditions has established it as the ultimate racing wing. Ozone's production flexibility has also played a significant role in enabling the quick release of the Flux V1, allowing customers to have the latest equipment in their hands just a month after it is signed-off.
