Ozone Pocket Rocket Parawing

The Ozone Pocket Rocket Parawing is a single-surface foiling wing designed and manufactured by Ozone, a brand with deep roots in paragliding and kite design. Positioned as Ozone's first-generation parawing, the Pocket Rocket brings ram-air canopy engineering to the hydrofoil discipline. It uses a bridled, soft-wing architecture — no inflatable leading edge, no rigid frame — controlled via a carbon-fiber joystick-style bar rather than a traditional boom handle. The result is an ultra-compact wing that packs down small enough to stash in a waist belt while riding downwind swells, then redeploys quickly when power is needed again.

Ozone built the Pocket Rocket around a double-ripstop nylon canopy with a hydrophobic coating that sheds water rapidly. Leading-edge profile battens hold the airfoil shape, while a Dyneema line band spans the canopy for structural load distribution. The three-layer bridling system — attaching at the leading edge, center, and trailing edge — is fully color-coded and spliced loop-to-loop to reduce tangling. Drain vents in each wingtip help clear water after relaunches.

The Pocket Rocket suits intermediate to advanced foilers crossing over from wingfoiling or kiteboarding who want to add a packable downwind tool to their quiver. Riders already comfortable on a hydrofoil will find the joystick bar intuitive — twisting left or right steers the canopy, while angling the bar forward or back modulates power. A forward push stalls the wing for instant depower, making it forgiving when gusts hit.

Smaller sizes like the 1.9 m² and 2.4 m² are oriented toward high-wind conditions and experienced riders who want minimal drag once on foil, while larger sizes such as the 4.3 m² and 5.0 m² extend usability into lighter winds around 10–12 knots. The wing's ability to pack into a small belt pouch makes it particularly appealing for downwind runs: launch to get upwind, stash the wing, surf back down, and repeat. Optional accessories include a harness line for hooking in during longer upwind legs and a stash belt for on-water storage.

Within Ozone's wing range, the Pocket Rocket sits alongside traditional inflatable wings like the Ozone Wasp. It occupies a distinct category — parawings trade the instant handling and water-relaunch simplicity of rigid inflatable wings for dramatically lower weight and pack size. Ozone has since released the Pocket Rocket V2, which refines the original with improved canopy tension, a diagonal rib support structure, and a wider usable wind range. The V1 remains available and represents a lower entry price into parawing foiling.

In the broader market, the Pocket Rocket competes with options like the Flysurfer Pluma parawing. Ozone's paragliding heritage gives it a structural advantage in bridled soft-wing design, and the Pocket Rocket's six-size range from 1.9 m² to 5.0 m² offers broader coverage than many competitors.
