Cameron Dawes

Cameron’s relationship with paragliding began almost as soon as he could walk: flying tandem with both of his parents at the age of four, and then flying solo at eleven – 10kg light on an Ozone Mojo 2 XS.

During his studies, Cameron stepped away from flying to focus on other passions: climbing, surfing, and snowboarding. But he was always drawn to products and innovation, and outdoor sport kept those two instincts running in parallel.

In late 2023, he joined Ozone Kites working alongside the factory in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, helping to introduce new technologies and processes on site. He was quickly captivated by the level of craftsmanship and dedication to quality found there, and he credits the team in Vietnam for creating something truly special (and notes that the legendary staff parties are not to be missed!).

In early 2025, Cam was invited to join the R&D and Design team for Ozone Paragliders and then moved to the south of France, where he appreciates being surrounded by a team pushing the boundaries of performance and ingenuity daily. “It’s an addictive place to work, and I’m loving every minute!

“The amount of work that goes into making a good harness is the best challenge anyone could ask for – and returning fully to the sport that has shaped my life feels deeply rewarding.”
