We are proud of what we do and of who we are. Our core mission is to progress our sport through technological innovation, intensive R&D and sustainable business models.

The ‘Ozone Feeling’

We believe you will feel the difference

Our products conjure an experience that is nearly impossible to put into words. Invoking emotion, excitement, exhilaration and joy, the Ozone ‘feeling’ is something that transcends the product itself. Ozone kites and boards provide a sensation unlike any other – a sensation that is wonderfully cohesive, yet novel and surprising every ride. This feeling is what Ozone is known for and we invite you to experience it too.

MEET THE OZONE TEAM

Manufacturing Facility

True quality comes from owning the process from the first stitch to delivery

Our strong commitment to the highest quality begins in our very own factory. Not long after we started, we realized that we needed to be in control of every step of the manufacturing process to ensure the integrity of all our products.

The Ozone factory in Vietnam is a state of the art facility were we employ only the highest trained craftsman whose expertise and attention to detail shine through in every product that is manufactured. Our factory produces exclusively for Ozone Kites, Ozone Paragliders, Ozone Speedwings and Squirrel Wingsuits.

All Ozone products are checked and batch tested throughout the manufacturing process and must pass final checks before they leave the factory. Close contact between our product development teams and production facility ensures that every product is manufactured to spec and is guaranteed to be worthy of the Ozone name.

Ozone is synonymous with quality and the materials that go into each product are based on this factor alone. Ever since our humble beginnings we have carried out constant performance and longevity evaluations of every material and component available to maintain our position at the forefront of durability and performance.

As a brand we are Inspired by Nature and Driven by the Elements. We thrive on people getting out there and having fun with our products, we couldn’t be happier seeing riders on the water, snow or land who share our values and stoke.

Technology and Innovation

Trailblazing from the beginning and setting benchmarks

Our designs, software and version strategy take technology and innovation further than any other brand. Since the development of our very first kite in 2001, Ozone has brought more innovative concepts and industry leading designs to market than any other brand while creating category-defining products that set the standard for all those that follow.

Bespoke Design Software

Investing into the future

We believe strongly in investing in tools that allow our team to advance designs with high efficiency and accuracy. We have developed our own proprietary software OzCAD by collaborating with some of the most brilliant minds in the fields of engineering, aerodynamics and software development.

The use of performance prediction models generated by this valuable tool provides us unparalleled insight throughout the design process.

Version Concept

Committing to a ‘full life’ product cycle

We have created the Version Concept for all products rather than confining them to model years. Designs are updated to a new version when we believe we have developed a better performing product from the existing design.

We have adopted this approach to avoid confusion in model updates; this also gives our design team time for true innovation. We strive to be transparent in our innovation – this is good news for customers, as the performance of a new version will be an improvement, and the value of the existing version will remain higher for longer.
