Ocean Rodeo Roam Aluula HL Kite

Ocean Rodeo Roam HL-Series ALUULA Kitesurfing Kite

Premium ALUULA Hybrid Light Performance | Huge Savings on 8m & 9m | Limited Stock

If you've been thinking about upgrading to an ALUULA kite but couldn't justify the usual premium price, this is an opportunity worth looking at.

The 2024 Ocean Rodeo Roam HL-Series brings lightweight, responsive kite performance to wave riding, freeride foiling and everyday freeriding. Built around Ocean Rodeo's Hybrid Light construction, it combines strategically placed ALUULA composite materials with Dacron to create a lighter, more responsive airframe without going to the expense of a full-ALUULA construction.

And right now at Surface2Air Sports, we've got exceptional clearance discounts on the 8m and 9m models, with very limited stock remaining.

These are premium-performance kites at a fraction of their original retail price. If either size fits your quiver, they're well worth considering before they're gone.

What Makes the Ocean Rodeo Roam HL Different?

The Roam has always been about effortless drift, fast turning and easy power control. It's the sort of kite that lets you concentrate on riding the wave or controlling your foil rather than constantly having to manage the kite.

The HL-Series takes that formula further by introducing ALUULA composite material into key areas of the airframe.

Compared with Ocean Rodeo's traditional Dacron-Series construction, the HL design delivers a substantial weight reduction while retaining the structure and stability of a three-strut kite.

That matters particularly when the wind is marginal, when you're riding towards your kite on a wave, or when you need quick, predictable steering without excessive bar input.

ALUULA Hybrid Light Construction – Why It Matters

ALUULA is an exceptionally lightweight, high-strength composite material that allows kite designers to improve airframe stiffness without adding unnecessary weight.

Rather than constructing the entire airframe from ALUULA, Ocean Rodeo's HL-Series combines ALUULA and Dacron in carefully selected areas.

ALUULA reinforcement panels help control unwanted flex, while ALUULA sections running along the struts improve structural response.

The result is a kite designed to turn quickly, maintain its shape under load and respond more directly to steering inputs.

Key benefits of the Hybrid Light construction:

• Approximately 20% lighter than Ocean Rodeo's earlier Dacron-Series kites.

• Reduced airframe weight for improved light-wind handling.

• Increased responsiveness from strategically positioned ALUULA reinforcements.

• Improved structural stability when the wind picks up.

• More precise steering and power delivery.

• A lighter-feeling kite without sacrificing the support of a three-strut design.

For riders upgrading from a conventional Dacron kite, the difference in weight and responsiveness is one of the main reasons to consider the Roam HL.

Designed for Wave Riding

This is where the Roam really makes sense.

When you're riding a wave, you don't want a kite that constantly pulls you off your line. You want something that drifts naturally, responds immediately when redirected and lets you use the wave's own energy.

The Roam's low-aspect, deep-profile design and moderate arc are designed to deliver exactly that.

Its compact, responsive turning characteristics make it particularly well suited to directional surfboards, where quick changes of direction and reliable drift are essential.

As you ride down the line towards the kite, its lightweight construction helps it remain airborne with less steering input.

When you need power again, the responsive airframe allows you to redirect the kite and generate drive quickly.

Whether you're linking turns on a clean wave or dealing with less-than-perfect UK conditions, the Roam HL is designed to make kite control feel intuitive.

Excellent for Freeride Foiling

Foiling places different demands on a kite compared with riding a twin-tip.

Once you're up on the foil, you often need very little power to keep moving. What becomes more important is the kite's ability to stay flying, drift smoothly and respond to small steering inputs.

The Roam HL's lightweight construction is a real advantage here.

Its deep foil profile provides useful low-end power, while its reduced weight helps it remain stable in lighter winds and through transitions.

The three-strut construction also provides support when conditions become stronger or gustier.

For riders who enjoy cruising on a foil, linking smooth transitions and making the most of lighter wind sessions, the Roam HL offers a particularly appealing balance of agility, drift and control.

Three-Strut Stability Without Unnecessary Weight

Traditionally, riders looking for better light-wind performance have often turned to single-strut or strutless kites.

Reducing the number of struts can save weight, but it can also affect the kite's stability and handling as the wind increases.

The Roam HL takes a different approach.

By reducing weight through its hybrid ALUULA construction, Ocean Rodeo retains a full three-strut design while delivering the lightweight handling that wave riders and foilers value.

This gives the kite a useful combination of light-wind performance, responsive steering and structural support across changing conditions.

Fast Turning and Smooth Power Control

A good wave kite needs to respond quickly without feeling unpredictable.

The Roam HL's moderate arc and low-aspect design encourage tight, responsive turns, while its generous sheeting range gives the rider plenty of control over the amount of power being delivered.

This is particularly useful when switching between powered riding and drifting down the line.

The responsive airframe also helps the kite maintain a more consistent feel when conditions become gusty.

Whether you're redirecting the kite through a turn, controlling speed on a wave or making small corrections while foiling, the Roam HL is designed to deliver precise, manageable feedback.

Ocean Rodeo Roam HL 8m vs 9m – Which Should You Choose?

Both the 8m and 9m Ocean Rodeo Roam HL are available at exceptional clearance prices at S2AS, but choosing the right size is important.

Ocean Rodeo Roam HL 8m

The 8m is a great option for riders looking for a smaller, agile kite with quick turning and responsive handling.

It makes particular sense for wave riders who value fast redirection, or foilers who want a compact kite for their preferred conditions.

If you already have a larger kite in your quiver, the 8m could be a useful addition for windier sessions.

Ocean Rodeo Roam HL 9m

The 9m offers a little more canopy area and potential low-end pull while retaining the Roam's lightweight, responsive character.

It's an attractive choice for riders looking for a versatile wave and freeride kite, or foilers who want additional power compared with a smaller size.

Not sure whether the 8m or 9m is right for you?

Kite sizing depends on your weight, board type, experience and local wind conditions. Give the S2AS team a call on 01202 738448 and we'll help you choose the most suitable size.
