yesterday was my first session on ozone fusion, I am happy to answer any questions about it, here are a few questions I think people will ask :)Below is some footage, if people are interested I can post more footage this is just a condensed version of 20 minutes of footage, I am planning to make a full narrated review of the fusion and compile some real testing with GPS and electronic compass system (salmon) to see if the angles upwind and downwind are actually better, and compare it to regular wings
Thanx for sharing.I,m not in the market for it ( most of the time fooling around in the Surf with my Fluxxes) but it is an very intriguing wing
The rudimentary seam layout is surprising, haven't seen that on a well developed wing in some time.
Also unsure they really needed double surfaces all the way to the trailing edge.
Going to be very interesting seeing where wings go next year.

what do you mean? this is a similar panel layout to foil kites and when the canopy actually fills with air the whole profile looks better, the pictures i shared are just after pumping it up and the canopy has little shape
The loads are different in a kite than a wing. I'm sure it performs well but I can't help thinking they are giving up on both longevity and stiffness with that layout.
Gen 2 double surface wings will be interesting.
Any update on the data on speeds and upwind angles vs the flux?
Still waiting for the right conditions, we had 30+ kn last week which was way too much, I was powered on my ppc 2.8m with kite foil ??, I have done some sessions with a mate on a similar foil just with a 2023 unit 6m, and I was going 1-2kn faster upwind with maybe a marginal better upwind angle, however downwind I have been struggling alot especially when it's not full lit, I feel the wing is best when you would use a 4m regular wing, lighter conditions a regular big wing will be better, still trying to figure it all out so don't take it as gospel

Here's one session from last week with the fusion, I have gone faster with regular wings on the same foil, this session did show the wings potential ??
Impressive speeds Oliverp. What foil was that on and what was the wind speed?
Levitaz r5 (around 500 sqcm) wind was 18-25kn it was very gusty and stormy the water conditions were very far from ideal,
