Ozone Pocket Rocket V2 vs F-One Frigate: which performance parawing?

Posted by Paddy on

Quick answer: both are brilliant, and they pull in slightly different directions. The Ozone Pocket Rocket V2 is the crossover performer — downwind foiling and wing-crossover riding with that unmistakable Ozone refinement. The F-One Frigate is the upwind machine — built to get you back up the course fast so you spend more time downwinding and less time slogging.

Ozone Pocket Rocket V2 — from €919

High-performance parawing that packs down small enough to stash in a pocket mid-run. Fast, direct and efficient — we gave our first impressions here after riding it on Galway Bay. Sizes 1.9–4.3m²+.

F-One Frigate — from €949

F-ONE's pocket wing stands out for effortless upwind speed and a revolutionary dynamic bridle system that automatically manages canopy tension sheeted in or out — fewer creases, fewer tangles, more drive. Wide wind range per size (the 3.5m covers roughly 18–30 knots), Porcher fabric, LIROS bridles and a tidy carbon vertical bar. We've a full run of sizes and colours in stock in Galway right now, 2.5–4.7m² from €999.

Which one for you?

Chasing bumps and pure downwind efficiency with easy stashing → Pocket Rocket V2. Want maximum upwind drive, huge wind range per size, and tangle-free simplicity → Frigate. And a note for kitesurfers eyeing all this up: flying a parawing will feel instantly familiar — same wind window, same sheeting instincts. You're closer than you think.

Both pair perfectly with the Appletree Midlength V2 or North Midi. Try before you buy at our demo days, or book a parawing lesson and get money off your gear.
