Ocean Rodeo's Bow Kite, nothing about the bar though. Photo at the bottom after their info.
Ocean Rodeo introduces the ONE.
History of One
Locked up in the Ocean Rodeo R&D vault since 1999, it was only a matter of time before the market realized the advantages of the swept anhedral foil concept. The lessons learned over the last 5 years in the design of "traditional tube kites", transfers over directly to the ONE concept.
Design
From the outset, the goal of the ONE kite was to offer riders the simplicity of using a single kite in all but the most extreme conditions.
Featuring our Swept Anhederal Foil Evolution (SAFE) design, the One allows the rider to maximize the power of a smaller kite thanks to the flatter profile. This equals more power per square meter. This same flat profile works the opposite in stronger winds, allowing the rider to sheet out, putting all the pull on the leading edge of the kite. This is as close to full de-power as we have ever been, while still maintaining control of the kite.
Construction
Built tough with the same materials and construction techniques as our existing tube kites. We've been careful to maintain the rugged construction procedures that have made our kites known as the toughest on the market.
Flying Performance.
Jumping: Get ready to go big! The ONE delivers hang time and glide like no other! Swept Anhederal Foil Evolution (SAFE) at work!
De-power: Thanks to the One’s SAFE design, complete de-power is made possible by simply sheeting out the control bar. Trim the bar in for low-end power, sheet out for handling the gusts.
Turning: Kite looping, wave riding, the ONE won’t hold you back!
Re-launch:
Simply pull on a back line to flip the kite over and up. Traditional re- launch technique use on U shaped inflatable kites will also work. No tangle strut ends minimize the chance of bridling hang-ups during the re-launch.
Sizes: Choose by your body weight
Available in 3 sizes, small (9m) Medium (12m), and Large (16m) pick your kite size based on your body weight and your typical sailing conditions.
