T

hank you for choosing to fly Ozone. As a team of free flying enthusiasts, competitors and adventurers, Ozone’s 
mission is to build agile paragliders of the highest quality with cutting edge designs, performance and maximum 
security.

Confidence and belief in your paraglider is a far greater asset than any small gains in performance - ask any of 
the Ozone pilots on your local hills, or those who have taken our gliders on ground-breaking adventures or stood 
on podiums around the world. All our research and development is concentrated on creating the best handling/
performance characteristics possible with optimum security. Our development team is based in the south of France. 
This area - which includes the sites of Gourdon, Monaco and Col de Bleyne - guarantees us more than 300 flyable days 
per year, this is a great asset in the development of the Ozone range.

As pilots we fully understand just how big an investment a new paraglider is. We know that quality and value for money 
are essential considerations when choosing a new wing, so to keep costs low and quality high we manufacture all of 
our products in our own production facility. During production our wings undergo numerous rigorous quality control 
checks that are fully traceable, this way we can guarantee that all of our paragliders meet the same high standards.

It is essential that you read this manual before flying your wing for the first time. The manual will help you get the most 
out of your new wing, it details information about the design, tips and advice on how best to use it and how to care for 
your wing to ensure it has a long life and retains a high resale value. For the latest updates, including all technical datas 
please refer to the online version. This can be found on the product’s page on at www.flyozone.com

If you need any further information about any of our products please check flyozone.com or contact your local dealer, 
school or any of us here at Ozone.

Safe Flying!
