The all new Zeno, in ML size, is now available to order.

The Zeno represents the cutting edge of OZONE paraglider R&D. This highly advanced design bridges the gap between the Enzo and Mantra series, providing an option for expert pilots who are ready to move up from the Mantra M6 and other wings in its class to a true 2-liner. The Zeno gains from the pedigree of both classic wings, resulting in a glider that sits well in both worlds. With an aspect of 6.9, its performance is amazingly similar to the Enzo 2, but comfort and behaviour are closer to an M6.

We are very excited to release the Zeno and look forward to hearing your experiences. Cheers from all the team!

The second event of the US Nationals wrapped up this past Saturday after 5 valid tasks. Task 4 of Chelan 2016 saw the longest competition paragliding task ever flown.

OZONE Team Pilot, Cody Mittanck reports:

“Unbelievable. Chelan does it again! In the previous 2014 nationals, we set a world record for task distance at 205km. Last year Australia went even further at 215 km. Maybe it’s manifest destiny or maybe Chelan really is just that GOOD, but on the penultimate day of the comp, after already 3 long and difficult tasks, we reclaimed the world record flying 228km! Not only is the distance mind blowing, but more than 60 pilots made goal, most of which crushed their previous personal bests. The leaders were deep in the bar, pushing their skinny comp wings to the limit, while getting hoovered under cloud streets and keeping their mouths closed through thermal hurricanes thick with dust. In these conditions it only took 4.5 hours to cross the goal line. Side note… local hero Matt Henzi wasn’t satisfied with only one record for the day, so he continued on past goal to set the Washington state record at 310km. But the coolest story has to be Krista …read more
