Ripple additions (batch 2, 2026-07-20)

• Ep 60 (Ken Adgate): describes Ozone’s culture as ‘a big family’; names incoming young designer Simon (credited with the double-skin/twin-skin concept); previews the incoming Flow wing, praises the Fusion and Chrono.
• Ep 123 (Ewan Jaspan, NAISH): contrasts NAISH’s short-bridle parawing design against Ozone’s, which uses longer lines in bigger sizes (Ozone’s trade-off: better upwind performance vs harder stowing).
