these will be showing up tomorrow and i still cant find a decent review, or really any content on them..


The PRv1 basically splintered off in two different directions. The PRv2 went more in the direction of "ease of use", shorter lines, closer to the PowerPack etc. The Afterburner went in the opposite direction.

So if you tried the PRv1 and didn't like the line length or where it sat in the window, you're going to absolutely hate the Afterburner.
If you tried the PRv1 and wanted more of that upwind sauce & speed, and didn't mind the lines, then you'll likely want the Afterburner.

Sorry if that didn't really help much. I've only tried it for a short while.

Ozone haven't released the media blackout on those of us with demo wings. I have video, footage, a whole review done. Can't release it, not sure what the hold up is but what's happening instead is that people are talking about it via text posts on facebook instead of releasing their videos. Once Ozone allow the release of media I imagine you are going to see a load of video reviews appear all at once. I can't imagine it will be much longer but currently the Afterburner wings and their info is not on the main Ozone website, whilst that remains the case we are all just waiting.

I think most of us are waiting on independent reviews and the specific marketing details from ozone.

Would it be fair to say that most that have already got the afterburner are ambassadors or sponsored riders or have a retail relationship with Ozone?

With long lines you don't have the best stashability. Seems like refined v1


Lines is one thing, but how does it ‘concertina’? 😅 that’s the most annoying part of stashing a parawing in my opinion - gathering all those delicate battens together

Probably not fair to say that, I certainly don't have any of the things you mention. Have been lent the wing for a week of riding, it goes back in a couple of days.

I’ve used the 5.7 AB for past two days
its super fast flys upwind.It needs to be fully cranked over to get the most out of it.
super stable as long as the lines stay tight.
packing down is harder but not by much.
for me wouldn’t like to take the 5.7 in breaking surf. But light wind blasting and
wrapping it up but not packing it’s just so much fun and full on session.

The lines staying tight is key and it does mean I find myself pulling on the back hand constantly. Going to try adjusting the single point harness back a bit as it is tiring to be sheeting the back hand constantly.
