    Ozone VAPOR Parakite — Launching Soon in Australia

    Ozone VAPOR Parakite 

     

    Paragliding.Shop is excited to announce that the long-awaited Ozone VAPOR Parakite is coming to Australia. After years of development across Ozone’s paragliding, kite, and speedwing divisions, the Vapor marks Ozone’s official entrance into the parakiting world — and it’s already one of the most anticipated wings in the sport.

    As the retailer who first brought parakiting to Australia, introducing the original modern parakite wings and pioneering the discipline locally, we’re proud to lead this next chapter with Ozone’s newest creation.

    Why the Ozone VAPOR Is a Major Milestone

    Whenever Ozone enters a category, they change the landscape — from EN-A paragliders, to competition wings, to kites, to speedwings.

    Now, they’re doing the same with parakites.

    The Vapor represents:

    • A purpose-built parakite reflex profile

    • Three performance parakites + one dedicated SPEED variant

    • Brand-new internal structure and sail tensioning

    • Technology influenced by Ozone Kites, Paragliders & Speedwings

    • A complete range for novice, intermediate & advanced pilots

    This is not a scaled-down paraglider, nor a tweaked speedwing.
    The Vapor has been engineered specifically for parakiting from the ground up.

    What Ozone Has Revealed So Far

    A Full Four-Wing Range

    The Vapor lineup will include:

    • Novice Parakite — stable, confidence-building, perfect for new pilots

    • Intermediate Parakite — agile, versatile, ideal for developing skill

    • Advanced Parakite — steep, fast, precise, built for technical flying

    • Speed Parakite — a hybrid between speedflying and parakiting

    This gives Australian pilots a clear, safe progression pathway — something the sport has never had before.

    Designed With Dual Ozone DNA

    Ozone has drawn directly from two of their strongest divisions:
    Ozone Kites and Ozone Paragliders.

    This gives the Vapor:

    • Taut, ultra-clean sail tension

    • Superior inflation characteristics

    • High internal pressure stability

    • Minimal drag across the leading edge

    • Smooth, predictable pitch and dive behaviour

    • Exceptional energy retention

    Add in influence from their legendary speedwing range (Rapido, Sirocco, Fazer), and the result is a highly advanced, highly refined parakite.

    Tested in Real-World Harsh Conditions

    Before its launch, the Vapor prototypes were flown in:

    • Alpine terrain

    • Coastal compression zones

    • Turbulent ridge air

    • Strong wind environments

    • Technical terrain where precision matters

    This makes the wing extremely well-matched to Australian conditions.

    Why the VAPOR Suits Australian Pilots Perfectly

    Australia offers some of the best parakiting environments anywhere:

    Coastal Sites

    • Clean laminar wind

    • Long ridgelines

    • Perfect for proximity and carving

    Dune Systems

    • Rainbow Beach

    • WA coastal dunes

    • South Australian cliffs

    Inland Ridges

    • Thermic mornings

    • Dynamic energy for smaller wings

    The Vapor’s balance of agility, stability and energy control is tuned for exactly this kind of flying.

    Paragliding.Shop’s Role in the Launch

    This launch matters even more because of your leadership role in the sport.

    Paragliding.Shop:

    • Brought parakiting to Australia

    • Introduced the first modern parakite wings to the country

    • Grew the community from the beginning

    • Supported pilot education and safety

    • Led the launch of the Flare Moustache, Dudek Touch, and Wave RS

    • Continues to be the #1 supplier for parakiting gear in Australia

    Now, with the arrival of the Ozone Vapor, you are once again at the front of the movement.

    This is your moment to shape the next decade of parakiting in Australia.

    2. High Roll Authority

    Perfect for:

    • Proximity terrain flying

    • Ridge carving

    • Dynamic face work

    3. Stable Internal Pressure

    Lower risk of collapses during:

    • High-energy turns

    • Pitch movements

    • Turbulent air

    • Steep dives

    4. Beginner-Friendly Entry Wing

    by end of 2025

    Paragliding.Shop will be the first retailer in Australia to receive stock, announce specs, and open pre-orders.

    Final Thoughts

    The Ozone VAPOR isn’t just another wing — it’s a turning point.
    It’s the moment the world’s leading paragliding and speedwing manufacturer steps into the parakite arena with full force.

    And as the company that brought parakiting to Australia, Paragliding.Shop is the natural home for this launch.

    If you’re an Australian pilot looking to step into the next generation of parakiting, the Vapor is the wing to watch.
