Built The Hard Way

In a sport driven by innovation, it’s easy to get lost in the noise of new releases and big marketing campaigns. Roode Boards has taken a different route. No hype, no rush, just a clear focus on building something that works, and doing it properly from the ground up. The result is a brand that’s arrived quietly, but is starting to make a serious impact.

Shifty 5

The constant, sometimes seemingly small progressions in kiting are often the most rewarding challenges. In freestyle the possibilities seem endless, moving from a blind landing with surface pass, to an air pass blind judge and then adding that extra bit for a blind judge three and then a five and then a seven – one can but dream or admire...

Mystic Legacy

The Legacy Helmet follows in the footsteps of the much-loved Impact Cap in the Mystic range, and builds on that foundation with one key upgrade, a hard shell exterior. Where the Impact Cap focused on low-profile, soft-shell impact protection, the Legacy adds increased resistance to sharper objects such as fins and foils. In a world of big air and high-speed...

Key to that is the use of HT140 material in the leading edge, combined...
