Ozone Liteforce 6.6 & 7.7m wings
The Liteforce combines different elements from the Ozone wing range in a strong but lightweight design to deliver easy and very effective performance in lightwinds.
This is the Zephyr of our wing range - for riders who want to score the most riding time possible with the least amount of complication.
EASY POWER AND HANDLING FOR MAXIMUM LIGHTWIND FUN...
Available in two, powerful sizes of 6.6m and 7.7m, both are packed with low end grunt to allow for super early planing, while the low drag handling also allows for remarkable levels of comfort at the top end of the wing's range, as well as smooth into-wind movements.
The carefully developed compact planform means that the tips are less likely to catch the water during manoeuvres, allowing for maximum freeride fun, however light the conditions.
Features:
- Tuned to get you riding and cranking upwind in the lightest winds
- Compact design for low end torque and control
- Pre-loaded leading edge with optimised sail shaping
- Tight, clean and efficient sail with huge wind range
- Powerful pumping with a very direct, sporty, lightweight feel
- Low-drag aerodynamics give sense of riding a smaller size wing
WHAT YOU FEEL
Very early planing with loads of grunt on tap
Huge range with less urgency to change down in size when the wind picks up
Efficient pumping with a very direct feel
Sporty, lightweight handling
Very little drag, which really helps with into-the-wind manoeuvres
Clean and easy management as apparent wind speeds build
WHY YOU FEEL IT
Compact design for low end torque and control
Pre-loaded leading edge and optimised sail shaping ensures smooth power generation with control
The leading edge and strut are made from a performance Dacron that’s 20% lighter than conventional Dacron
Ergonomically angled, rigid carbon handles with EVA grip
Soft bumper on front handle mount to protect your board and head
Knuckle-guard on leading edge de-power/surf handle
Lightweight anti-flap fibreglass battens reduce canopy flutter on trailing edge
The Liteforce is ‘Born Light’ with no unnecessary features. Everything has a purpose, and every stitch is perfectly positioned to build genetic strength, removing the need to add unnecessary reinforcements.
HUGE RANGE AND AN UNREAL FEEL FROM A BIG WING
Allowing for excellent aerodynamic performance with a longer lasting shape, the proven supportive structure of the 125g performance dacron on the leading edge and strut helps the Liteforce manage wind speeds beyond the limits these big wings would otherwise have.
Using a performance dacron material that is rigid and strong has allowed our designers to pre-load the leading edge so that its shape will have far less deformation under load. Giving you the confidence to session during periods that the wind may pick up, knowing you will still be able to hold on with more comfort and control.
RIDER GUIDANCE – SHOULD YOU CHOOSE THE 6.6 OR 7.7M LITEFORCE?
While both Liteforce wings have a large overall area, they are specifically designed with a compact planform to make handling and manoeuvring as easy as possible. Here’s some basic guidance to help you choose the right size:
175cm / 5’9’’ OR TALLER?
Riders of this height will have no problem handling either the 6.6 or 7.7m. Their choice will be dictated by how important the extra pure low end power of the 7.7m will be; either enabling them to ride in the absolute lightest possible winds, or to give them more of an advantage if they’re a particularly heavy rider.
BETWEEN 165cm / 5’5’’ AND 175cm / 5’9’’?
We’d recommend the 6.6m. As well as being easier to handle, it will provide more than enough power.
