Normal manufacturing time is currently 3 weeks, plus 1 week for delivery to us in Sydney, for any sizes not in stock or on order already.
Flying fast, bred to shred and toned and tough from tip-to-tip, the all new Flux V1 has been designed by perfectly orienting proven, cutting edge materials to deliver extreme aerodynamic performance with a huge sweet spot.
After almost 80 prototypes, the Flux flies faster than any wing we've ever made. Not only does it create more immediate power, but thanks to the new pre-loaded leading edge, the Flux's precisely tightened canopy structure can now hold and manage far more wind without deforming.
The Flux V1 features more panels than any other wing in our range to help reach the ideal load bearing structure and a super tight canopy for next level handling.
Each size in the range has an optimised shape to ensure you feel like you're riding the same family of designs. Whether charging super high into wind on the smaller sizes, or holding more wind than you could imagine on the bigger sizes, every Flux model will help you ride faster and in more control.
The advantages of using a wing with less drag and reduced luffing will continue to reveal itself as your moves flow far more sweetly.

Key Features:
PRE-LOADED LEADING EDGE - Say goodbye to baggy canopy cloth and hello to more performance and a longer lasting shape.
Using a performance Dacron material that is rigid and strong has allowed our designers to pre-load the leading edge and shape it to experience drastically less deformation under load. Combined with optimised sail shaping and horizontal panels for a tighter canopy, the Flux delivers huge aerodynamic performance gains
20% LIGHTER AND STIFFER PERFORMANCE DACRON - The 125g performance Dacron of the leading edge is also used in the strut and further accentuates the superb rigidity in the frame. In combination with the new rigid handles the connection levels feel like you're part of the wind! Buckling under pressure is now far less of a concern and the Fluxs pre-loaded leading edge and stiffened strut work sublimely well in partnership with the other design features. A new, bigger sweet spot in handling will allow you to find more control in stronger conditions, point higher into the wind, reach higher speeds and also pump with greater efficiency, which makes the wings bottom end even more potent.
MULTIPLIED SEAM STRENGTH AND CLEANER AERODYNAMICS - The leading edge features a high cell count which creates a more perfectly curved shape, resulting in a purer aerofoil. The Flux is also designed with many more horizontal panels in the sail itself, distributing the load better along the warp of the fabric. From strut to tip, each seam creates a stronger line connection in the sail and takes more of the load, reducing canopy stretch. We build natural strength into our products and therefore, more often than not, you'll find our designs are lighter than even our competitors exclusive reduced weight designs.
CARBON FIBRE HANDLES WITH EVA GRIP - Ergonomically angled front and back carbon fibre handles with EVA grip provide maximum control and comfort with incredible feel and response. The front handle mount features a soft bumper to protect your head and board during water starts.
FORCE FIELD PERIMETER = PRIME PERFORMANCE FOR LONGER - Positioned specifically where canopy loads are greatest, a new, stronger canopy material on the leading and trailing edges provides a force field shield around the central mainsail section. Channeling greater forces and helping to create a cleaner foil, further advantages are the reduced stretch and the fact that the Flux will maintain a better wing shape over its lifespan.
FLUX CAPACITY - The capacity of this wing is almost endless by today's standards. You simply have to experience how it continues to hold and process more and more power, opening up your riding potential beyond comparison. The Flux is for riders who want to get up to blistering speeds and enjoy staggering aerodynamic performance, for jumping, carving, wave riding, racing and everything in between. The Flux V1 is designed with the best materials in a high aspect ratio and swept leading edge planform to deliver explicit new levels of speed and control.
WHAT YOU FEEL:
WHY YOU FEEL IT:
"I had a chance to borrow the 5m Ozone FLUX demo from Kite Power over the weekend. I think it's the first batch landed here.
I'm 82Kg and have been winging for 4 years, 90% of the time focused on wave riding. I currently own Ocean Rodeo glides 6,5 and 4m which have had 20 months hard use. I've been looking for a replacement for my 5m for several months, I briefly bought and quickly sold a DLAB unit which I discovered was a step backwards for wave riding.
The wing weight is 2.4kg and feels light in your hand,the strut and main tube is a much softer material than normal Dacron they pump with seperate Valves and the frame is super ridged, The first impression is the incredible build quality, it's next level there is not a stitch out of place and the result is a super smooth finish on the leading edge that just looks fast.
Day 1 .
Botany Bay gusty westerly 12-25 knots with friends riding OR 5m and DLAB unit. The wing had a nice feel to the pump onto foil on the inside where it was light. Then it builds apparent wind speed quickly it's very smooth and so quiet. You quickly realise this is something different as you point higher and higher on the wind. We normally all make about the same tacking angles, but I could easily out point the others (about 100m over 1km further to windward) and we were all well powered. When the gusts hit just sheet in a go faster, next time I would wear a harness doing this type of sailing to lock in. Coming downwind playing on the bumps riding the flagging handle it's very neutral and floats without any wobble. So first day I was impressed but this isn't the type I sailing I do normally.
Day 2.
Local reef break with 1.5m swell side shore SW 10 - 16knots very patchy not enough wind for most of our crew so this was a real test. I would normally use my 6m so I put on my Armie MA1475 instead of MA1000. This made it super easy and fun in the light conditions. The Ozone FLUX has very good low end and the second you get on foil speed build quickly then you start pointing higher and higher. Then you gybe onto a wave and the front handle you can forget about it and that is all I really ask of a wing for waves. The bonus is you can get back to the waves upwind of the next guy for priority.
So after 4hours testing over a variety of conditions I'm genuinely impressed so much so I bought the 5m when I took the demo unit back. The 5m has such a huge usable wind range I don't see myself needing a 6m again and maybe just get a 3.6 later. I was going to wait for the Armie XPS to test first but they have been delayed.
Some have questioned the higher pricing of the Ozone FLUX (myself included) but this is a high performance wing. My advice would be try this wing back to back with a DLAB unit (which I have done) and then see what you think about the price.
For anyone who wants to win races or just be the most upwind person at your local spot it's a no brainer at the moment. For people who want to ride waves the OZONE flux it's up there with the best in this category."
Johnny Heineken:
"I've had the final 3.6m and 5m protos for a while, which is why I knew I had to get the whole quiver here in time for the event! Right away it's clear the Flux is a high-performance machine. Fast and lively, it tacks and gybes amazingly well and glides into the wind with super low drag. When loading up the wing holds its shape and creates more power instead of deforming and getting draggy. We tested it over the last couple weeks and I knew it had good speed both up and downwind, but until you're on the racecourse you never really know how things are going to go.
I rode the 5.7m on the long distance race, which is about six miles dead downwind and back. After 43 minutes I finished 3-4 minutes ahead of the next wing"
