Regarding the sizes, these are just numbers and may be in no way comparable to other brands. I just saw “official” wind ranges for these number with the 4M starting at 7Kn 
I wouldn’t make any decisions about filling in a quiver of another brand until there are multiple user reviews 
Also, wouldn’t count on the thing being available for less than $7-900usd. Our new orange tinted economy will add significantly to the cost of foiling (and everything else…)
Looking at the Ozone they’ve designed it with plastic stiffening rods in the leading edge - similar to a paraglider. I’m sure it improves the flight characteristics, but what does it mean for stowing?
Come to think of it, I haven’t seen many brands showcase a proper packdown and stow - only a “bunch-up”.
And another vid, this time from TripleSeven:
Really informative vid! (TripleSeven). I think some of the handling tips will make tack’s more approachable. It will be interesting to see if the ‘push down and turn’ motion will translate to the single skins. I think I’ve been guilty of just wrist movement dominant motions. Learning to bank the PW looks to be a new skill to master.
I bet there is a method of creating a dive from one tack to the other to help with light wind take-offs. I have done this inadvertently a few times when taking off in bumps, where i start off on a broad reach in one direction, but I end up gybing the wing to the other side mid pump up. If I can help keep pressure in the PW by banking it and diving it through the window, could really help out.
Lightest most stowable parawing on the market
That looks ideal! … for sure the best Parawing yet!
If you look at the image those are speeds for “LAND” which means on a skate board I assume (not skis like it would normally list for a Peak).
More new options -
wow there are going to be a lot of these for sale come summer (lightly used)
In my experience between the BRM and the Flow, the battens in both aren’t any great limitation in terms of stowing - and I expect Ozone to be the same.
They don’t help, but just as critical is the material weight / compressibility — the BRM can be pushed into the belt fairly mindlessly, while the Flow requires more careful packing away due to the extra bulk. In good swell, both are really not too bad (I’ve stowed both in 4M sizes).
Also, if it’s downwinding in place (e.g. launch, go upwind, ride a swell for 2 min, then repeat) - it really doesn’t make sense to stow the wing as its a nuisance that leads to bridal twists. However, if you are doing longer segments, certainly it feels better to be hands free for pumping.
Having had the Flow and now the BRM I know there is two different ways to depower. The BRM when depowered forms creases across the canopy, this actually decreases the size of the wing. The Flow attempts to open the trailing edge, flying off the front lines.
After experiencing both forms of depower I much prefer the BRM, just seems smoother and easier to use. I’ve been following the promo vids and watching how the wings depower, so far only the BRM and Duotone Stash use this system.
It’s possible to order a custom Ozone Pocket Rocket fully in purple. Decision made. Screw the rest of the brands.
Purple parawing has my $.
the leading edge gotta be different color
I have a BRM, honestly the whole color coded lines and canopy coloring rules that are being thrown around are a bit over blown. Would it help sometimes? maybe. Is it required? Definitely not in my opinion. It’s mostly a learning curve issue which is over come with good technique to avoid tangles and bad stowing in the first place.
Definitively not required. But colored A, B, and C cascades are helpful when you have to detangle with lines over the bar etc.
Its def helpful to locate the leading edge in the water if its different color but if you dont crash, then no need for it. also, this may be correlated with the size of the PW. at least on the 6.2 BRM, its a giant pile of wet, uniform appearing canopy.
Agreed that with time there’s minimal benefit to color coding the lines/ LE. but no real negatives so why not?
I have the 5.1. You can usually find a batten pretty quickly for reference and start exposing that portion of the pw to the wind, it pretty quickly becomes evident how it’s oriented.
If BRM would lower their price I would order a 2.9 without hesitation. But I am not in a hurry and curious to try the flow which hopefully will be delivered soon.
