Ozone, the iconic brand in foil kites, paragliding, and wings, makes a strong statement with the arrival of its new kite: the Pocket Rocket. The parawing community has eagerly awaited this kite, which is heralded as a breakthrough. This comprehensive review covers its design elements, technical specifications, and observed on-water performance.
High-level collaboration for an ambitious kite
The video opens with an interview featuring Axel Mazella, a multiple kitefoil champion and product engineer at Ozone. He shares his involvement in the Pocket Rocket's development, from initial observations to final design. Evolving from the "Explorer," a kite originally designed for snowkiting, the Pocket Rocket benefits from a direct transfer of expertise across disciplines.
Innovative technology for stability
One of the Pocket Rocket's key highlights is its "spanwise brid line." This perpendicular bridle line, a first in the parawing world, provides exceptional Leading Edge stiffness, especially when riding in choppy conditions. An extra covering back and integrated plastics in the ribs further reinforce the structure while maintaining excellent handling.
High-level performance in varied conditions
Tests show the kite remains incredibly stable, even in strong winds up to 35 knots, without any ear folding. Propulsion is directed forward. This ensures smooth riding without excessive lateral pull. Thanks to its effective depower, it covers a wide range of use. When it comes to upwind performance, the Pocket Rocket rivals the best rigid wings, all while maintaining impressive speed.
Accessibility and ease of use
Steering is responsive and intuitive. This allows for one-handed riding, with or without a harness. Color codes on the bar and lines make quick identification easy, a real plus if they get tangled. Relaunching is smooth, even from a seated position on the board, and the thick bridles prevent frequent knots. This kite is perfect for both intermediate and expert riders.
Well-thought-out ergonomics and adapted accessories
Ozone offers two carrying bags: a classic model and a more technical fanny pack version with a harness attachment system and bar fixation. These accessories optimize storage and transport. The integrated hook and the support for clipping the bar demonstrate Ozone's attention to detail.
Conclusion: a parawing kite that sets new standards
The Ozone Pocket Rocket is more than just a new kite; it redefines expectations for parawings. Stable, intuitive, high-performing, and well-equipped, it combines the best technologies from paragliding and kite. This kite is durable. It appeals to both adrenaline enthusiasts and recreational riders.
