We just received a note from Hungarian record holder, Katalin Juhasz, who has conquered another podium:

“Last week, in the Serial Cup competition that was organized in Tolmin, with the help of the Hungarian OZONE dealer Gabor Turi, I tried the OZONE Delta 3 MS. In the comp, I finished 10th place in the overall ranking (118 participant total) and 1st place in the female category. The Delta 3 is a great glider with unbelievable performance, I really liked it!”

Excellent test flight Katalin, it’s rare and impressive for the very first flights to put us on a podium!

The Nordic Paragliding Open took place in Tolmin, Slovenia, from August 27th to September 2nd. Pilots from Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden congregated in the Julian Alps for a week of fun flying. Our good friend and winner of the event, Ronny Helgesen, reports:

“For Rolf Dale and I, this was the perfect event to test our fresh Enzo 3s. The first day was slow and we were skeptical to use too much speed bar close to the terrain. The glider felt very stable so the next day we flew faster. After two days of competition, Rolf was in the lead just one point ahead of me. I won the next day and we were leading the comp together.
On the fourth day the race was moved to Lilack. I was in the leading gaggle close to goal and when I realized that the first five pilots didn’t have enough altitude to reach goal I went for it and made it to goal first, winning the Nordic Championship. Thanks OZONE for making this beautiful wing”

Rolf Dale finished second, and Erik Renhelf third on his Zeno.

In the women’s category, the winner was Johanna Hamne, followed by Mari-Anne Aanes …read more

“Take a Delta 3 barrelling along an Alpine ridge or a flatland cloud street on a sporty day and you’ll likely find yourself keeping up with several D-Class wings.” Ozone’s much-anticipated EN-C Delta 3 may lack the playfulness of some of its competitors, finds Hugh Miller, but its solidity and stability on bar make its […] …read more
