Illustrated by Axel Mazella’s ground-breaking success with the Afterburner at the Defi Wing 2026, we’ve pushed our design programme, our riders and our factory to the limits with this high end machine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Afterburner features a high number of cells for the perfect load spread which ensures an ulta-clean canopy in-flight. It goes upwind like nothing else you have ridden, will transform your tacking success but also remains easy to stash.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eComplete with an all new ultra light monobloc carbon bar, the entire Afterburner experience is about helping you unlock the next level of riding experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIt is not for everybody, but it is for you.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHigh-Aspect Design Delivers The Ultimate Upwind Performance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Afterburner kills the need to co-ordinate downwind vehicles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe recommend starting your session at your finishing point. Hammer upwind with ease from there to make the biggest downwind run possible, knowing you have your own car parked up with a cold beer in the cooler, ready to enjoy as you calm down.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDo More Distance - Low End, Top End, Tacking, Stashing, Redeploying\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Afterburner delivers all you need from a parawing so you can just focus on enjoying the longest runs possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe low end performance is similar to the Pocket Rocket V2, but the high-end control is beyond imagination. Just point your board high, push your foil as hard as you like and swiftly\u003cbr\u003estack the kilometre count upwind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTacking is the easiest it’s ever been thanks to the ultra-smooth lift and forward drive overhead. The Afterburner stashes easily if you’re well practiced in the technique, but this isn’t a wing for lots of rapid stashing and redeploying. It’s for riders who are committed to freeriding without their parawing for as long as possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe are talking about the type of downwind distance where you might need to sit and rest on your board for a few minutes at the end of it, taking on liquid and carbs. The Afterburner will be ready for an easy relaunch to get you back upwind as soon as you are.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRider Insight\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“Using the 4.3m Afterburner with a 625 race foil definitely gave me the feeling of kiting with efficient race gear. I was riding full power all around the bay. Super fun.

With our 25 years of experience in creating race \u0026amp; competition paragliding and kitesurfing equipment, we were eager to explore what could be transferred into a parawing design without sacrificing bottom end performance or stashability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Afterburner feels like a mix between a foil kite, wing and a parawing and we stayed true to our “Accessible performance is true performance” motto.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMy R\u0026amp;D colleague, Axel Mazella, took advantage of the Afterburner’s natural performance to win races at the Defi Wing but, in truth, it’s a fun freeride wing for anyone to enjoy who has a desire for speed and powered riding. As the Afterburner loads up on power, the leading edge \u0026amp; sail remains absolutely solid, driving cleanly forward in the window, allowing you to push as hard as you like against your foil to gain more and more speed. The upwind gains are almost automatic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe’ve included the user-friendly feature benefits of the PowerPack and Pocket Rocket V2, such as the bridle layout with the rash and tangle-free line materials as well as the V-shrink tabs for low end power, but where the Afterburner really stands out is in its huge wind range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe low end is solid, similar to the Pocket Rocket V2, but at the top end the Afterburner is in a league of its own and feels so good when you’re locked in and experiencing the rush of flying fast over the water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you already have some decent stashing technique, the Afterburner is easy to stash and redeploy, but it just takes a little more care and consideration due to the more complex design such a high rib count and bridle layout. This is a wing for riders who are ready to make long downwind runs, carving efficiently and linking swells – when rapid stash and deployment aren’t the top priorities.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e-DOM ZIMMERMANN, OZONE LEAD DESIGNER\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCANOPY DESIGN:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSingle surface design philosophy pushed to next performance level\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh aspect-ratio gives more forward drive - for greater speed and upwind performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncreased cell count and fully supported rib structure for perfect load spread and ultra clean canopy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLightweight tabs reduce weight, bulk and drag\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAERODYNAMIC PERFORMANCE:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClean and rock solid leading edge for superloaded session\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhen sheeted out (depowered) there’s minimal canopy flap for reduced drag and higher depower efficiency\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Afterburner is designed for hooked-in harness riding, which will allow you to open up the performance advantages in comfort.
