Choosing an Ozone wingsurfer starts with one question: what would make your next session better? Easier handling while you learn to gybe, more speed across the bay, or enough usable power to make lighter days worthwhile?
The Ozone range now listed at The SUP Company covers all three. Flow is the all-round freeride and wave choice, Flux puts more emphasis on speed and powered performance, and Liteforce is the dedicated light-wind option. Within those families, generation, construction and control system matter just as much as the size printed on the bag.
This guide covers the inflatable Ozone wings currently published on thesupco.com, including earlier-generation options, then explains where Ozone parawings fit. Listed sizes are product options, not a promise of immediate availability: select your size and colour on each product page, or ask us to confirm timing.
Which Ozone wing should you buy? The quick answer
- For a first wing or a versatile everyday upgrade: start with the Ozone Flow V2.
- For fast freeriding, upwind drive and powered jumping: shortlist the Ozone Flux V3.
- For premium materials and a lighter performance wing: compare the Ozone Flux V2 Ultra-X.
- For a dedicated light-wind addition: look at the Ozone Liteforce V2.
- If you prefer separate rigid handles: compare Flow V1, Flux V2 and Flux V2 Ultra-X before deciding that a newer boom-equipped model is automatically right for you.
- If value is the priority: check the exact size and current price of the earlier Flow V1 and Flux V1 listings. A suitable size matters more than a tempting saving.
Start with your riding, then choose the wing
At The SUP Company, our starting point is your weight, experience, local spot and current board and foil. A wing that feels excellent on a fast, efficient foil may be the wrong answer for someone still learning to get going on a short, unstable board.
Our shops at Woodmill and Lymington give you somewhere to talk through that whole setup. For wing and foil advice, speak to The SUP Co x Lymington. We can also discuss suitable equipment through our Try It Now demo service, subject to approval, rider suitability, equipment availability and conditions.
If you are starting from scratch, read our wing foiling beginners’ guide to sizing, cost and learning alongside this range overview.

Ozone Flow V2: the starting point for most all-round riders
The Flow V2 freeride wing is our first shortlist recommendation when someone wants to learn, progress and enjoy varied sessions without committing to one specialist discipline.
Its compact outline and swept tips help with water clearance. The carbon boom gives you a continuous gripping area, while the revised canopy and leading-edge handle support controlled transitions and flagged-out riding. Flagging out means holding the front handle and allowing the wing to trail with little power while the foil carries you on a wave or swell.
Ozone uses a Dacron inflatable frame and a mix of Teijin 5×5 and 3×3 ripstop canopy fabrics. The useful point is controlled shape and response: the wing needs to feel predictable when you pump, change hands or meet a gust, rather than simply feel stiff on the beach.
Choose Flow V2 if your sessions mix cruising, learning turns, small waves and occasional jumps. It is also the logical first comparison for someone buying a wing they can learn with and continue using.
Consider Flux V3 instead if you already ride confidently and your main aim is to carry speed, push upwind and load the wing against a faster foil. You do not have to “graduate” out of Flow simply because your skills improve: manoeuvrability may remain your priority.
Ozone Flux V3: for riders who want to cover ground quickly
The Flux V3 performance wing is the more speed-focused choice. Its longer outline is aimed at efficient powered riding and top-end control. Compared with Flow V2, think longer, committed reaches and a more locked-in feel.
It combines a Dacron frame with a carbon boom and mixed 5×5/3×3 ripstop canopy construction. The boom is the obvious control-system change from Flux V2, but the buying decision should still begin with the riding character you want.
Choose Flux V3 if you are comfortable foiling both ways, enjoy riding powered and want a wing to complement an efficient foil. It is a sensible shortlist for speed-focused freeriding and riders developing their jumping.
Choose Flow V2 instead if your main frustration is handling the wing through turns, catching tips or keeping things relaxed in mixed sessions. Ozone itself positions Flow as the easier, more wave-focused option in this comparison.
Buying Flux will not automatically make a slow setup fast. Board release, foil drag, stance and technique all contribute. If you are considering a foil change as well, talk through the combination before buying either part.
Ozone Flux V2 Ultra-X: when does the premium construction make sense?
The Flux V2 Ultra-X shares the performance focus of Flux V2 but uses an Aluula composite airframe. Ozone states that it is around 20% lighter on average than the standard Flux V2, with a slimmer, stiffer frame.
For the buyer, the attraction is how weight and rigidity combine: less weight to move overhead and a more direct response when loading the wing. It retains separate rigid carbon handles, so this is not simply the boom-equipped Flux V3 with a material upgrade.
Choose Ultra-X if you already know you prefer a performance wing and will make regular use of the lighter feel and stiffness. Compare equivalent sizes and the complete package price, rather than judging the range by the lowest advertised price alone.
Spend the money elsewhere first if your board is holding back starts, your foil is poorly matched or you still need a second wing size. A well-spaced two-wing setup can be more useful than one premium wing that only fits part of your local conditions.
Premium does not mean indestructible. Ozone describes the standard Dacron Flux V2 as more abrasion-resistant. Handle either wing carefully around stones, shells and foil edges.
Ozone Liteforce V2: a dedicated answer to lighter wind
The Liteforce V2 light-wind wing is listed in 6.6m² and 7.7m². Its compact outline is designed to make a large wing easier to manage, with reduced span helping to limit tip contact during pumping.
The V2 uses a carbon boom, 125g Performance Dacron frame and 3×3 ripstop canopy. It is aimed at generating usable low-end drive, rather than simply extending the everyday freeride range with a bigger size.
Liteforce 6.6 or 7.7?
Start by considering 6.6m² if you want a light-wind addition while keeping handling more manageable, particularly if you are lighter or already use an efficient board and foil.
Consider 7.7m² if greater low-end power is the overriding aim, especially for a heavier rider. Discuss your height and reach as well as weight: extra area is only helpful if you can pump and control it effectively.
Those are shortlist suggestions, not fixed weight cut-offs. The larger wing brings more area to handle when the wind builds, and no size can guarantee take-off in a particular wind speed.
A light-wind setup works as a whole. A board that accelerates cleanly and a foil with suitable low-speed lift can change the result substantially. Explore our foil boards if you are repeatedly struggling to release from the water, rather than assuming that another square metre of wing will solve everything.
Earlier generations: sensible alternatives when the fit is right
Ozone Flow V1: all-round handling with carbon handles
The Ozone Flow V1 remains worth comparing if you want the Flow family’s compact, versatile approach and prefer two separate gripping points. Our listing includes 3.6m² and 4.3m² options.
Flow V2 introduces the boom and revised canopy and handling details. Flow V1 can still make sense where its size, control layout and current price suit you. For someone who needs a larger everyday wing, however, a smaller remaining size is not a substitute just because it costs less.
Ozone Flux V2: performance with a familiar handle layout
The Ozone Flux V2 sits between the earlier Flux V1 and the newer boom-equipped Flux V3. It offers a Dacron frame, rigid carbon handles, trailing-edge battens and a performance-oriented shape.
It is particularly relevant if you like a defined front and rear grip or already own a Flux V2 and want another size with a familiar feel. Note the 5.5m² and 6.0m² options: the listed Flux V3 size steps differ.
Compare Flux V2 with Ultra-X when the decision is primarily about construction and budget. Compare Flux V2 with Flux V3 when the boom, newer design and preferred size are the bigger questions.
Ozone Flux V1: judge the specific offer
The Ozone Flux V1 listing currently centres on 5.7m². It offers the earlier Flux performance concept with rigid carbon handles and can be a useful option if that is the size you actually need.
Our original Flux V1 introduction provides further background. Treat it as an earlier-generation product, and compare its current price with the newer alternatives before deciding.
Carbon boom or rigid handles?
A boom gives you continuous hand-position choice. You can slide your grip to adjust leverage, find a comfortable reach and move between positions without aiming for a separate rear handle. That can be useful when learning transitions or riding one-handed.
Separate handles give you defined reference points. Some riders find that familiarity reassuring and prefer the way two grips sit in their hands. Comfort is personal: hand size, arm reach and your usual stance all matter.
In this selection, Flow V2, Flux V3 and Liteforce V2 use booms. Flow V1, Flux V1, Flux V2 and Flux V2 Ultra-X use rigid handles. Do not assume that booms and handles can be swapped between generations; ask us to check any proposed conversion.
What size Ozone wing do you need?
Choose the size for your normal sessions before choosing the colour or construction. We need five details to make a useful recommendation:
- Your weight and height: power requirement and reach both count.
- Your current ability: efficient pumping extends low-end use; newer riders need a more forgiving margin.
- Your board: volume, width, length and release affect how easily it accelerates.
- Your foil: take-off speed and glide matter, not just front-wing area.
- Your usual wind and water: include lulls, gusts and chop, rather than only the strongest forecast number.
For an adult of roughly 75–85kg choosing an everyday wing for moderate conditions, 5.0m² is a useful size to discuss first. It is a conversation starter, not a prescription: a lighter rider, a windier spot or a different board can change the answer.
If you regularly feel overpowered, a smaller second wing is often more useful than replacing your current size with a more expensive model. If you regularly struggle to start, first establish whether the problem is insufficient power, board drag, foil choice or technique.
Building a useful two-wing setup
As illustrative combinations, Flow V2 5.7m² with 4.3m² could cover a lighter-wind everyday role and a windier-day role; 5.0m² with 3.6m² shifts that pairing towards stronger conditions. These are examples to discuss against your weight and local weather, not guaranteed wind ranges.
A committed light-wind rider might instead add Liteforce to an existing everyday wing. You can mix families: there is no requirement to choose Flux, Flow or Liteforce for every session. Keep enough overlap that a gusty day does not fall awkwardly between your sizes.
Choosing for real UK conditions
Gusty inland water: prioritise comfortable control through the gusts and enough usable power through lulls. A large wing chosen only for the lull can become tiring when the breeze returns. Flow is a sensible starting comparison for mixed freeride use.
Choppy coastal launches: consider wing clearance and board stability together. A compact wing helps, but cannot compensate for a board you cannot balance on while getting started.
Fast reaches and upwind mileage: the Flux family deserves a closer look. Match it to a foil you can comfortably control at speed, rather than making every component more demanding at once.
Summer light-wind sessions: Liteforce is the specialist option, but choose a realistic operating margin and remember the journey back. Tidal flow and changing wind can make a session very different from the forecast at the car park.
Where do Ozone parawings fit?
Parawings are a separate choice from an inflatable handheld wing. A bridled canopy provides the pull and can be packed away for unpowered foiling, then redeployed. They introduce different handling, stashing and relaunch skills, so we would normally discuss them with riders who already have dependable foil control.
- Ozone Pocket Rocket V2: the all-round parawing starting point to compare.
- Ozone Power Pack: consider when compact stashing and glide-focused sessions are central to your plans.
- Ozone Afterburner V1: the more upwind-performance-focused option for riders planning longer downwind runs.
- Original Ozone Pocket Rocket: compare the earlier-generation listing if its specification and available size suit your plans.
Browse the full parawing collection and discuss storage options such as the Ozone Stash Belt V2 or Ozone Parawing Stash Harness. These are not required accessories for the inflatable wings in the main comparison.
What else should you budget for?
Check the package contents for your exact model. The current Flow V2, Flux V3 and Liteforce V2 listings include their carbon boom, a wing leash/waist attachment and a storage bag. Ultra-X has a different accessory package. A board and foil are separate unless the listing explicitly states otherwise.
Do not assume a pump is included. The Ozone V2 Pump is listed separately; confirm the correct hose connection for your wing. Use the pressure marked for the exact model, size and chamber, as leading-edge and strut pressures can differ.
Allow for suitable board and wing leashes, protective equipment and tuition where needed. If you are also choosing a SUP for non-foiling wing practice, our Woodmill SUP Test Centre can help with appropriate board comparisons on sheltered water; wing and foil demo enquiries belong with Lymington.
Finance options are available on qualifying orders, which can be useful when investing in a complete setup. Check the current terms and eligibility. Delivery timing depends on the selected size, colour and stock position, so contact us before ordering for a specific trip.
Ozone wingsurfer FAQs
Which Ozone wing is best for beginners?
Of the inflatable models covered here, Flow V2 is our first shortlist for a beginner wanting an all-round wing to progress with. Choose the size alongside a suitable board, foil and tuition plan; beginner-friendly handling does not make every size appropriate.
What is the main difference between Ozone Flow and Flux?
Flow puts more emphasis on easy handling, manoeuvres and wave versatility. Flux puts more emphasis on speed, efficient powered riding and upwind performance. Choose the character that suits your sessions rather than treating Flux as a compulsory upgrade.
Is Flux V3 the replacement for Flux V2 Ultra-X?
They offer different combinations. Flux V3 has a Dacron airframe and carbon boom; Flux V2 Ultra-X uses Aluula and separate carbon handles. Compare material, weight, grip preference, size and budget together.
Which Ozone wing is best for a heavier rider?
For normal freeriding, start with an appropriately sized Flow or Flux and a board and foil that support your weight. For dedicated light-wind use, discuss Liteforce V2, including 7.7m². Rider weight alone is not enough to select a size.
Will a Liteforce let me foil in any light wind?
No. It is designed for light-wind use, but take-off still depends on wind consistency, rider technique, board release and foil efficiency. Do not treat a published minimum wind figure as a guaranteed result.
Is an older Flow or Flux still worth buying?
Yes, when its size, handling, condition and price match your needs. Compare the exact listing with newer models, especially the change from handles to a boom. Avoid buying the wrong size simply because it is discounted.
Can I demo an Ozone wing before buying?
Ask our Lymington team about the current Try It Now selection. We can discuss your requirements and any suitable demo options, but availability of a particular Ozone model or size must be confirmed.
Should I buy a parawing instead of a normal wing?
Choose a parawing when stashing the canopy for glide or swell riding is a specific goal and you have the skills to manage the different system. For learning wing foiling and broad everyday use, an inflatable handheld wing is generally the clearer starting point.
Get the right Ozone setup first time
Start with Flow V2 for versatile progression, Flux for performance-focused freeriding, and Liteforce for dedicated light-wind sessions. Then narrow the size and construction around the way you actually ride.
