If you've had the chance to foil on a wave, then you know what it's like to float on a cloud. It's an amazing feeling that'll keep pulling you back to the water every chance you get. Those sessions are all about getting on as many waves as you can, whether they're overhead ocean waves, lake swell, or bumps on a reservoir, and a good wing is going to get you where you need to be and then hang patiently out of the way. There are a lot of wing choices in 2025. Although we're only a few years …

Ozone and Flysurfer are two brands well-known for their ram-air foil kites, so it comes as no surprise that their entries into the new parawing category are some of the most popular and top-rated.

The 2024 Ozone Fusion takes wing design in a very different direction. While other wings are built like LEI kiteboarding kites with an inflatable frame and single skin canopy, the Fusion is based on a dual-skin foil kite, but keeps the rigid leading edge and center strut. It's unique, it's patent-pending, and it makes some exciting performance claims. Does it live up to the hype? Tucker has done extensive test riding to really get a feel for this special entry into the wing market.Featur …

Jeff and Tucker are excited to introduce Ozone's Flux V1, a brand new wing in the lineup. They've had some time on it in the water and are ready to share their first impressions. A New High-Performance Wing Tucker: It's a really exciting time to do a review on an Ozone wing because, let's be honest, the lineup has been a little stagnant for the past year or so. They had the Wasp V2, which is a great step up from their V1, but the V3 was just a slight modification of the V2. It's a great wing …
