Ocean Rodeo Crave
We've been hearing quite a bit about Ocean Rodeo over the past few months with new advances in materials and designs being whispered about. The Crave is one such a new design, no doubt produced for their alarmingly talented wave team to take on the GKA's best. At its core, the Crave is a 3-strut supported leading edge kite, with...
Ocean Rodeo Flite
Most brands have a light wind offering these days, and the Ocean Rodeo Flite has been around for a while. Available in five sizes 8, 10, 12, 14.5 and 17. Those smaller sizes give you an idea of the flavour here. This isn’t just a big light wind kite, it’s a kite that is designed to perform, regardless. The Flite...
Ocean Rodeo Prodigy 6
Canadian kitesurfing players Ocean Rodeo bring their all-around favourite ‘The Prodigy’ back for round 6. A kite designed to be a genuine all-rounder, the Prodigy features an incredibly lightweight design for increased low-end use.

Ocean Rodeo Mako
The Mako, Ocean Rodeo’s renowned signature board, has recently undergone a revamp and we were excited to be able to test it out. Presented as a surf-orientated twin tip, the Mako doesn’t look like a modern-day kiteboard; in fact, you may think it’s from a different era. A continuously curved rail from the centre to the very rounded tips combined...

Ocean Rodeo Stick Shift Bar
2016 was the year of the ‘Game Changer’, and while all eyes were on kiteboarding giants North Kiteboarding, Ocean Rodeo were quietly making their mark with a similar concept, the Stick Shift Bar. The Stick Shift Bar takes away the need of a sometimes cumbersome depower system, and instead features the R3 Component bar end trim adjustment. Simply put, a...
