The Flux V1 will sit within the wing range in a similar max-performance position that the Edge holds in the Ozone kite line-up. Suited to good intermediates to advanced freeriders looking for the latest handling advantages, the Flux will be available to the public from early June.
SIZES: 2.4 / 3 / 3.6 / 4.3 / 5 / 5.7 / 6.5m
- Comparable position in the range to the Edge - max-performance, crazy speeds, epic jumping also with low drag and stability for wave riding!
- Compact plan form and incredible forward drive
- Custom built hard handles for the ultimate feedback
- Suiting good intermediate freeriders and beyond
- Packed with the latest handling advantages for mind blowing sessions
Although this wing hasn't been specifically made for racing, the incredible aerodynamic design combines perfectly with the best new materials to deliver more all round performance, including greater flying speeds and power management than ever before.

Johnny Heineken:
“I've had the final 3.6m and 5m protos for a while, which is why I knew I had to get the whole quiver here in time for the event! Right away it's clear the Flux is a high-performance machine. Fast and lively, it tacks and gybes amazingly well and glides into the wind with super low drag. When loading up the wing holds its shape and creates more power instead of deforming and getting draggy. We tested it over the last couple weeks and I knew it had good speed both up and downwind, but until you're on the racecourse you never really know how things are going to go.
“I rode the 5.7m on the long distance race, which is about six miles dead downwind and back. After 43 minutes I finished 3-4 minutes ahead of the next wing.”
