We are depending on the weather and cannot be 100 % the flight will happen, SAFETY FIRST. But we will always do our best to provide the most amazing experience.

Ozone Photon is out

Sylvie

The Photon brings a new era for the Sport class (EN C). All of Ozone’s know-how in 2-liner designs has been applied to this wing to make it the missing link between conventional 3-liners and competition models.

True Performance was our focus during the extensive development phase to produce practical usability and comfort throughout the speed range in real XC conditions.

The handling, stability, and ease of use are as important to us as the performance numbers, which are close to those of the Zeno 2. Nonetheless, collapse behaviour and passive safety are solidly within the EN C category. Welcome to the future.

The Photon is now available, Ring Jiri on 0417 776 550 for the cost.

How to post your glider to The Paragliding Repair Centre?

Sylvie


Avoid boxes as the post office will then charge you as cubic weight instead of scale weight.
Equipment posted to us is usually under 6kg and should cost you one way $40 or under.
Make sure you round the corners so it cannot be measured.
If you have a Concertina bag, post it with your glider. Much better for your Paraglider and much easier for us to pack your glider!!
Please write your name, return address and PHONE NUMBER on your parcel.

Parcels to be posted to :

The Paragliding Repair Centre

93 Princess Avenue

Torndirrup, Albany

WA 6330

Make sure you make the corners round
