Our route was about 450 kilometers long, and we flew approximately 64% of the distance covered. It was 29 days of pure adventure.

We started out at the SW tip of the Alaska Range, right at the border of Lake Clark National Park.

The European Slalom Championships took place in the south of Spain in Bornos from June 12 – 18, 2016. It was the first FAI slalom event organized over the water to increase the safety of pilots.

OZONE Team pilot Alex Mateos, flying a Viper 4, lead most of the competition days and managed to keep first place until the finals. Alex Mateos was flying in 2 categories, foot launch and single trike, and won both categories with a great style!

Alex reports:

“Polish team were the biggest competition for me, they were very strong and establish themselves in leading positions from the beginning of the competitions. Some of the pilots error and mechanical problems results in water splash but always with no injuries and manage to prepare their equipment to continue competition. What a pleasure to fly over water! I am very satisfy with my performance and result in this competition. I could finally show my new Viper 4, new Thor 250 and light Macfly trike. It was not so …read more
