2023 Ocean Rodeo Aluula Roam Surf and Hydrofoil Kiteboarding & Kitesurfing Kite.
FREERIDE FOIL BOARD / SURF
The Roam featuring Aluula is simply a dream come true for freeride foilers and committed wave riders. 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 air frame means that the kite’s stability and precision control is retained. 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. Unpredictable wind states and formerly unmakeable sections all become opportunities for the rider: the playing field is fully opened up by riding the Roam.

Ocean Rodeo is proud to introduce yet another game changer. An all-new series of kites built with the Aluula BLACK material, which features a graphene-enhanced composite that weighs just 68gsm (grams per square meter). To compare, traditional Dacron comes in at 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. 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.

STRUCTURE
SHAPE
Built for the dedicated wave rider with a moderate arc makes the roam a fast turning kite combined with a large sheeting range.RATIO
The Roam’s low aspect ratio design and deep foil profile allow for maximum drift and low end power.3 STRUT FRAME
The Roam’s 3 strut “boxy” frame results in its big lifting wingtips allowing the kite to effortlessly drift down the line while maintaining positive steering with tight pivot turns for ultra fast changes of direction.The entire frame is built with tested and proven KP-E dacron providing incredible strength, durability, and rigidity. Where our competition choose to reinforce their closing seams with only mark cloth, we use more KP-E because we believe reinforcement materials should be at least as strong as its base.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 Roam to lift out of a loop and avoiding a stall for maximum climb.
SAFETY SYSTEM
A single front line flag out systemin is used allowing the rider to achieve maximum de-power if the trim loop release is activated..WARNING! It is crucial that the bar you are using utilizes this system. Note: For Next Gen kites we have changed the bridles on our kites so that the front attachments have loops and the back attachments have knots.In order to use a previous generation Ocean Rodeo bar with a Next Gen kite, you must first install the OR Bar Bridle Adapter Kit (which can be purchased from a dealer or directly from Ocean Rodeo) to the bridles on the kite. This will change the bridles so that the front attachments have knots and the back attachments have loops. Thus making it compatible with the older model bars.
