037_Dom Zimmermann & Axel Mazella: Ozone Pocket Rocket V2 Design Breakdown


Listen Later

In this episode of the LabRat Foiler Podcast, I sit down with Dom Zimmerman, Head of R&D at Ozone, and Axel Mazella from the Ozone R&D team to unpack everything about the brand new Pocket Rocket V2. We go deep into the design evolution from the original Pocket Rocket V1 and how the development of the PowerPack helped shape this next generation of parawing design. This conversation covers the real details that parawingers care about: shorter line lengths, stiffer and thicker lines, improved stowing ergonomics, updated bar widths, the new bow bar system, harness line setup, canopy feel, low-end power, upwind performance, quiver building, and where Ozone sees the future of parawinging heading next. If you’ve been waiting to find out whether the Pocket Rocket V2 is worth the upgrade, this episode is packed with insight straight from the people designing it. We talk about what type of rider this parawing is for, how it compares to the PowerPack, what was improved from the V1s, and why small design details like line coatings, bridle layout, and bar feel make such a huge difference on the water. We also dive into bigger-picture topics around the future of the sport, including parawing racing, performance progression, quiver choices, travel setups, board sizing, and the possibility of new high-performance models to come. Whether you are into parawing foiling, downwind foiling, wave riding, upwind performance, gear design, or just want to understand the latest innovations in parawinging, this episode is for you. If you’re frothing on parawing gear, foiling progression, and the future of the sport, make sure to like, subscribe, and let me know in the comments what you think of the Pocket Rocket V2.
