Ozone Rush - Nice Beginner Wing And Just Fun!  starstarstarstarstar
Got this wing about a year back and in the most slightest breeze it wanted to go up. The Ozone Rush is a very nice and stable no nonsense wing. Just plain ...

Sweet Ozone Rush!  starstarstarstar
30 hours into flying my Ozone Rush S, I'm finding it very exciting to fly. It's constantly thrilling me with its cheeky 'come on lets go buddy' attitude ...

Color Schemes

The simple graphics below represent the available color schemes for the Ozone Rush. I hope this approach is useful for getting a good idea of the colors when quickly comparing wings. Most paragliders have a basic wing color plus something different adorning the leading edge. As far as I know, the underside of each design is all-white.



white, with red and orange pattern




yellow, with red and orange pattern




orange, with blue and yellow pattern




red, with blue and white pattern

A Good Book

Paragliding - A Pilot's Training Manual. Do you have at least a few hours of soaring experience under your belt? Keen to learn much more? This book will fill out your knowledge nicely. Just remember it doesn't take the place of your instructor!
