<h2><strong>Take a look at the new Ocean Rodeo Mako Kitesurfing Board at S2AS!</strong></h2> <p><strong>The most revered, longest-selling kiteboard in history now rides on air. </strong></p> <p>After 17 years in the Ocean Rodeo board line-up, it was time to revisit the classic Mako. Was it possible to improve upon this legendary board? Over the last 12 months, the Mako went in for a full check-up! </p> <p>The Ocean Rodeo R&D team decided to give Mako a complete physical and try something new. They tested the Mako shape in multiple 4-fin setups and found the board lost its playful nimble feel and became slower. New tail shape profiles were developed and tested, all of which of which gave no new benefit. They even built prototypes with thick profiled tuck-shaped surf rails. No go!</p> <p>The reality was that all these modifications seemed to have a negative effect when we tested these “new Makos” against the original shape, taking away from the balanced, lively, hard-carving, chop-eating, grin-inducing ride that has made the Mako an industry legend.</p> <p>However, there was one upgrade that did make a positive difference. Make it lighter. Make the flex more “crisp”. We lowered the board weight by swapping in a new mineral-based composite to replace the classic S-glass. Now lighter, the Mako has found a new flex and liveliness that will be noticed and enjoyed by even the most diehard Mako devotee.</p> <p>As always, the Mako line-up offers freeride enthusiasts of all backgrounds a board suited to their riding style and size, while the wood core ensures your board will survive the rough and tumble ‘No Excuses’ coastal conditions that it is built to perform in.</p> <h3><strong>Features:</strong></h3> <p><strong>Rail-to-Rail Concave: </strong>Built for ‘real world’ conditions, the Mako excels where all other conventional twin tips fail. Short-fetch chop, rolling ocean waves, inside shore breaks, the Mako smoothly traverses it all and delights in setting the rail hard for a high G force carve to reverse direction for another tack. The deepest rail-to-rail concave of any twin tip ever produced combined with rounded tips, down-turned rails and a perfectly tuned rocker line. The Mako delivers a powerful fluid carving experience and a dependable rail for stratospheric boosting.</p> <p><strong>Z-55 Fins: </strong>Rugged, stiff, and beautifully foiled, these G10 composite Z-55 fins deliver the extra grip needed when you push the Mako to the max!</p> <h3><strong>Bliss Pads and Straps</strong></h3> <p>Featuring ultra-durable and comfortable dual-density EVA foam pads and near infinite strap configuration options the Bliss pad & strap system present your feet with the perfect balance of comfort and control when riding.</p> <p><strong>Foam Dampening:</strong> The durable and proven foam dampening in the heel area of the footpad brings offers comfort and control for increased performance and safety when on the water!</p> <p><strong>Toe Ridge System: </strong>Perfectly placed special foam ridge ensures your foot is always aligned and helps ‘monkey grip’ the board during jumps and transitions.</p> <p><strong>Velcro Quick Closure: </strong>Proven safe and secure, the velcro closure delivers sung and comfortable fit for every session.</p>
<h2><strong>Take a look at the new Ocean Rodeo Rise A-Series Aluula Ultra-Lite Frame Kitesurfing Kite at S2AS!</strong></h2> <p>A revolution in kite design that will change the kitesurfing industry a material with zero stretch or distortion!<br /> <br /> The high aspect, 5-strut Rise delivers the new standard in acceleration, precision control, Big Air torque and launch performance. Ground-breaking new Aluula composite material which weighs in at just 82 grams per square meter (78g/m² lighter than traditional Dacron), the material is 100% UV stable and virtually unrippable. The combination of the Rise’s highly tuned airfoil design and the benefits of ultra lightweight ALUULA composite material delivers an ultra stable airframe, allowing for utmost rider confidence, and creating a true synergy between Big Air riders and their kite.</p> <p>The widest and most accessible wind range ever seen, the Aluula Series kites allow for enhanced light wind performance and hold their shape and control in overpowered situations. Aluula remains rigid, with the low-stretch and quick-flex properties that reset any distortion significantly faster than traditional Dacron air frames. The result is improved control when reaching the kite’s top end, and improved performance throughout the wind range.</p> <p>The Aluula air frame delivers instant feedback not only from your bar input, but also from the wind, with gusts and lulls instantly transmitted to your control system, giving you the ability to maximize your kite’s power, depower and turning potential, revolutionizing your kitesurfing experience. </p> <p>The extreme light weight, combined with the stiff yet reactive Aluula air frame technology, means larger kites become supercharged, allowing performance levels to increase exponentially. To further build on the enhancements provided by Aluula, Ocean Rodeo have fine-tuned all our light wind manufacturing techniques and components, with the Flite Ultra Lite canopy using proven D2 double ripstop from Teijin.<br /> <br /> *The available power and vertical boost will exceed what many seasoned kiters are familiar with. During your initial Rise sessions, please ease into your first jumps, especially in strong winds, in order to adjust to this new performance level.</p> <h3><strong>Materials:</strong></h3> <p>- Aluula: An all-new series of kites built with the Aluula BLACK material, which features a graphene-enhanced composite that weighs just 82gsm (grams per square meter). To compare, traditional Dacron that weighs around 150gsm. UV stable and virtually unrippable, the Aluula BLACK composite can also withstand higher inflation pressures. Alongside this, the Aluula bladder technology brings additional weight savings and performance gains: Aluula film weighs in at only 42gsm, compared to PU films that are traditionally in the 100gsm range. Inflated to a standard pressure of 8psi, the Aluula air frame is 50% stiffer than current Dacron/PU bladder air frames, with 20x more resilience to tearing against standard Dacron, and yet half the weight. The resulting stiffness combined with the extreme light weight delivered by Aluula transforms inflatable kites into precision control wings unlike anything we have experienced during our 20 years of kite design.<br /> <br /> With no need to reduce struts, a 3-strut Aluula frame kite becomes lighter than leading no-strut kites, and, with flex designed into the air frame, these ultra light 3-strut kites perform through the entire wind range, delivering new levels of performance for jumping, drifting, turning, and water relaunch. Aluula is so much more than light wind performance! The low stretch, quick flex properties of the Aluula Air Frame resits distortion signifcantly more than traditional Dacron air frames in over powered situations, delivering improved control when reaching the top end of the wind range. Voted Best Product of the soft equipment category at this Years ISPO.<br /> <br /> - Teijin Techno Force D2 Ripstop: Designed specifically for the kiteboarding market, Teijin’s Technoforce D2 Ripstop has high tear resistance, low stretch, and is incredibly light weight. Each Strand of yarn is individually coated before being woven together. A second surface coating is then applied to the material, providing long term endurance. Teijin D2 is the benchmark in quality with proven superiority in durability and dynamics.</p> <h3><strong>Structure:</strong></h3> <p>- Shape: An open C shape allows for fast precise steering, precision sheeting and quick water relaunch. Creating a light wind performance kite is no easy task. The A-Series Rise contains a wide arc and large projected area to produce as much power per square meter as possible.</p> <p>- Ratio: A high aspect ratio to deliver more lift per square meter and a faster climb, while generating less drag for a kite that lifts you windward.<br /> - 5 Strut Frame: It’s no secret that removing struts from kites means a compromise in performance – the reduction in weight improves light wind capabilities but the downside is reduced stability and poor top-end performance. With a full ALUULA airframe, there is no longer a need to compromise. Featuring ALUULA 82 gsm composite airframe, not only is the Rise incredibly light, but its stiff air frame performs like no other in both light and high wind.<br /> - Bridles: A fixed short line bridle with a floating V design and a two pulley system creates direct and snappy response while also keeping bar pressure low. New to this generation are larks head loops on front bridles, and knots on the back lines making for an innovative system that stabilizes the leading edge. This allows the Flite to lift out of a loop and avoiding a stall for maximum climb</p> <h3><strong>Technologies:</strong></h3> <p>- Precision Curve Struts: Hold the designed foil shape delivering the desired performance through the wind range<br /> - Armortex Abrasion Guard: Ultra-light, non fraying, and abrasion resistant, these Kevlar/ nylon blend scuff protection pads deliver a streamlined no snag profile throughout the kite<br /> - Ultralite Construction: We use a blend of state of the art fabrics and components in order to bring to you the lightest and toughest kites we’ve ever made. Using custom blended UV film in our strut and leading edge bladders allows us to double down on light weight with outstanding durability</p> <p>- Ridge Seam: Designed specifically for the Aluula composite material and increases seam strength by over 40% compared to traditional stitching methods.<br /> - Speed Inflation System: Get on the water faster with the speed inflation system. Strut to leading edge connector tubes feature easy to use quick clamps for added security while riding. Featuring all new EVA Clamp covers. See if your clip is open or shut. Light and easy to operate<br /> - High Capacity Valve: Direct hose to valve connection for simple operation. Wide threaded cap is easy to tighten and even easier to unscrew eliminating the jammed valve cap syndrome. Cap is leashed to the kite, and the valve cover has been re-shaped for smooth no snag fit<br /> - Trim Equalizer: Keeps line lengths equal when fine-tuning kite turning speed<br /> - Buck Stitching: This three-stage zig-zag stitch distributes seam load creating a tear-resistant, long-lasting seam.<br /> - Abrasion Guard: Ultra-light and abrasion-resistant. The Kevlar scuff protection is also low profile, delivering a streamlined no snag profile throughout the kite.<br /> - Variable Line Length: Tailor your kite’s performance to match your riding style and launch conditions.<br /> - Load Distribution: Using strategic seam placement and pathways to enhance a kite’s performance and durability<br /> - Easy Access Bladder Port: Zip entry access to bladders is neatly finished delivering a super clean entry into the leading edge compartment<br /> - Secure Connect: Molded beads on the back line leaders deliver a secure larks head connection every time<br /> - Secure Pump Leash Loop: Easy to locate and perfectly balanced to hold your kite in place while you pump</p>

The rugged Dacron leading edge is reinforced with Aluula allowing for a significantly slimmer diameter that can be pumped to a much higher pressure than Dacron alone!</p> <p>Not only has the Glide received improvements from the integration of the Aluula material, but it also benefits from improvements to all the seams and bladders, to further minimise weight and ensure durability! </p> <p>The Ocean Rodeo Glide HL-Series is unique amongst wingsurfers, developed specifically to maximise efficiency and minimise user strain, keeping you pumping for longer!</p> <h3><strong>Materials:</strong></h3> <ul> <li><strong>Aluula: </strong>A graphene-enhanced composite that weighs just 82gsm (grams per square meter). To compare, traditional Dacron that weighs around 150gsm. UV stable and virtually unrippable, the Aluula BLACK composite can also withstand higher inflation pressures. Alongside this, the Aluula bladder technology brings additional weight savings and performance gains: Aluula film weighs in at only 42gsm, compared to PU films that are traditionally in the 100gsm range. Inflated to a standard pressure of 8psi, the Aluula air frame is 50% stiffer than current Dacron/PU bladder air frames, with 20x more resilience to tearing against standard Dacron, and yet half the weight. The resulting stiffness combined with the extreme light weight delivered by Aluula transforms inflatable kites into precision control wings, unlike anything we have experienced during our 20 years of kite design.</li> <li><strong>Dimension Polyant K-PE Dacron:</strong> Dimension Polyant’s K-PE dacron utilizes PEN (polyethylene naphthalate) fibres in the warp direction. PEN has a higher modulus than polyester and these fabrics exhibit approximately 30 to 40% lower stretch than their polyester equivalents. This makes K-PE the ideal choice for kite dacron where low stretch is a top priority. </li> <li><strong>Teijin Techno Force D2 Ripstop:</strong> Designed specifically for the kiteboarding market, Teijin’s Technoforce D2 Ripstop has high tear resistance, low stretch, and is incredibly lightweight. Each Strand of yarn is individually coated before being woven together. A second surface coating is then applied to the material, providing long term endurance. Teijin D2 is the benchmark in quality with proven superiority in durability and dynamics.</li> </ul> <h3><strong>Features:</strong></h3> <ul> <li><strong>Aluula Reinforced Dacron Leading Edge: </strong>Built with rugged 160gsm dacron that is enhanced with a Aluula shock strip that runs wing-tip to wing-tip, for improved stiffness and response</li> <li><strong>Ridgeback Boom: </strong>Ultralight, stiff and 100% Aluula construction for a high-pressure boom with superior puncture and abrasion resistance, this is the stiffest inflatable boom on the market... And only half the weight of the competitions inflatable booms. <strong>*Recommended Inflation 12 To 15 Psi.</strong></li> <li><strong>Aluula Reinforcements: </strong>The Aluula anti flutter strips & abrasion panels support the canopy ripstop to stop flutter and increase abrasion resistance at critical wear points.</li> <li><strong>Independent Inflation Valves: </strong>Precision controlled inflation pressures for both the boom and leading-edge independent of each other.</li> <li><strong>Matrix Handle System: </strong>Quick change handles. Mix and match your riding style.</li> <li><strong>Unity Wrist Leash: </strong>Incredibly comfortable, this the Unity Wrist Leash features a fold-back Velcro closure for a secure connection and one-handed donning and doffing and Amsteel spectra shock cord loaded line. 110 Cm relaxed to 170 cm stretched.</li> <li><strong>No Hula Harness Loop: </strong>Quick loop to loop attachment, the no hula loop swings side to side for easy hook in and out. Quick length adjustment via larks head to knot.</li> <li><strong>Wing Bag: </strong>Rugged yet lightweight, the Wing Bag is designed to handle sandy wet wings. Featuring a large mesh side and bottom panels to assist with moisture and sand management. Rugged pack cloth with saltwater resistant, #10 main entry coil zipper, adjustable shoulder straps, and a quick secure bungee system to hold your pump.</li> </ul>

<h2><strong>Take a look at the new Ocean Rodeo Roam A-Series Aluula Ultra-Lite Frame Kitesurfing Kite at S2AS!</strong></h2> <p>A revolution in kite design that wil change the kitesurfing industry a material with zero stretch or distortion!<br /> <br /> The Roam featuring Aluula is simply a dream come true for freeride foilers and committed wave riders.<br /> <br /> Ground-breaking new Aluula composite material which weighs in at just 82 grams per square meter (78g/m² lighter than traditional Dacron), the material is 100% UV stable and virtually unrippable. This 3-strut kite with an ultra-light and strong Aluula air frame allows for precise sheeting control, snappy turns and on-demand kite positioning in light winds. And should the wind pick up, the stiffness of the airframe means that the kite’s stability and precision control is retained. </p> <div> </div> <div>The widest and most accessible wind range ever seen, the Aluula Series kites allow for enhanced light wind performance and hold their shape and control in overpowered situations. Aluula remains rigid, with the low-stretch and quick-flex properties that reset any distortion significantly faster than traditional Dacron air frames. The result is improved control when reaching the kite’s top end, and improved performance throughout the wind range.</div> <div> </div> <div> <div>The Aluula air frame delivers instant feedback not only from your bar input, but also from the wind, with gusts and lulls instantly transmitted to your control system, giving you the ability to maximize your kite’s power, depower and turning potential, revolutionizing your kitesurfing experience. </div> <div> </div> <div>For freeride foiling, kite transitions on the Roam are achievable in the lightest of breezes, and with the deep, low aspect design coupled with the light Aluula air frame, the Roam will not luff or stall, even in complete slack-line situations.<br /> <br /> Unpredictable wind states and formerly unmakeable sections all become opportunities for the rider: the playing field is fully opened up by riding the Roam.</div> <div> </div> </div> <h3><strong>Materials:</strong></h3> <p>- Aluula: An all-new series of kites built with the Aluula BLACK material, which features a graphene-enhanced composite that weighs just 82gsm (grams per square meter). To compare, traditional Dacron that weighs around 150gsm. UV stable and virtually unrippable, the Aluula BLACK composite can also withstand higher inflation pressures. Alongside this, the Aluula bladder technology brings additional weight savings and performance gains: Aluula film weighs in at only 42gsm, compared to PU films that are traditionally in the 100gsm range. Inflated to a standard pressure of 8psi, the Aluula air frame is 50% stiffer than current Dacron/PU bladder air frames, with 20x more resilience to tearing against standard Dacron, and yet half the weight. The resulting stiffness combined with the extreme light weight delivered by Aluula transforms inflatable kites into precision control wings unlike anything we have experienced during our 20 years of kite design.<br /> <br /> With no need to reduce struts, a 3-strut Aluula frame kite becomes lighter than leading no-strut kites, and, with flex designed into the air frame, these ultra light 3-strut kites perform through the entire wind range, delivering new levels of performance for jumping, drifting, turning, and water relaunch.
