Ozone Liteforce

OZONE LITEFORCE

Easy power and handling for maximum light wind fun

The Liteforce has been designed by combining different design elements from the Ozone wing range in a strong but lightweight design to deliver easy and very effective performance in light winds.

EASY POWER AND HANDLING

• 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 optimized 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

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 Ozone 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 –  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 maneuvering 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.

OPTIMISED SAIL SHAPING AND DIRECT CONTROL

The optimized sail shaping and horizontal panels mean that each seam, from strut to tip, creates a stronger line connection in the sail, distributing the load better along the warp of the fabric, reducing canopy stretch over time.

The ergonomic carbon fiber handles with EVA grip provide a super-direct connection for more control in all situations. They also ensure you get every ounce of power from each pump of the wing!

CHORD ORIENTED WINDOWS

Two carefully positioned windows running parallel with the chord of the wing on either side of the strut allow you to get a sense of other water users downwind of you while holding the wing at a normal riding angle.

The Ozone Liteforce windows are sized to offer some visual assistance without considerably impacting the weight, and therefore performance of the wing. We advise riders of any wings to always remain attentive to your surroundings, especially when going for a change in direction. We always recommend to lift the wing overhead to get a totally clear view of the water downwind before making a maneuver.

ALL YOU NEED, NOTHING YOU DON’T

Combined with cutting edge manufacturing and the highly skilled craftspeople who apply their experience in our own factory, the Ozone Liteforce is born light but genetically strong.

We avoid adding surplus features or unnecessary cosmetic items to our designs and only use top of the line materials put through a rigorous testing program.

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.

THE LITEFORCE

• More performance oriented with stiffer and lighter weight Dacron material on the leading edge and strut (like the Flux).

• The Liteforce also has rigid carbon handles (the Fly has soft handles), so has a more connected feel, but also offers more hand control, especially when the wind is very light.

• The Liteforce wings have more pure low end grunt for easy power generation in light winds.
