OZONE AFTERBURNER - Get Upwind Farther, Faster
The Afterburner delivers all you need from a parawing so you can just focus on enjoying the longest runs possible.
The low end performance is similar to the Pocket Rocket V2, but the high-end control is beyond imagination. Just point your board high, push your foil as hard as you like and swiftly stack the kilometre count upwind. Tacking is the easiest it's ever been thanks to the ultra-smooth lift and forward drive overhead. The Afterburner stashes easily if you're well practiced in the technique, but this isn't a wing for lots of rapid stashing and redeploying. It's for riders who are committed to freeriding without their parawing for as long as possible.
We are talking about the type of downwind distance where you might need to sit and rest on your board for a few minutes at the end of it, taking on liquid and carbs. The Afterburner will be ready for an easy relaunch to get you back upwind as soon as you are.
At a glance:
- GO UPWIND HARDER AND FASTER, SAVING ENERGY FOR SUPER LONG DOWNWIND RUNS
- HUGE RANGE (SAME LOW END POWER AS THE POCKET ROCKET V2 BUT WITH GREATER TOP END PERFORMANCE)
- WARP SPEED RIDING CONTROL, VERY SMOOTH OVERHEAD DRIVE FOR TACKING, PLUS GOOD STASHABILITY
- NEXT LEVEL CONNECTION WITH OUR ALL NEW MONOBLOC CARBON BAR
HIGH-ASPECT DESIGN DELIVERS THE ULTIMATE UPWIND PERFORMANCE
The Afterburner kills the need to co-ordinate downwind vehicles.
We recommend starting your session at your finishing point. Hammer upwind with ease from there to make the biggest downwind run possible, knowing you have your own car parked up with a cold beer in the cooler, ready to enjoy as you calm down.
