Rise Venturi XPD
The 2010 Rise is the ultimate all around free ride kite. Perfect for beginner to Pro, the Rise delivers high performance over a huge wind range. 2010 refinements include larger leading edge panels at the wing tips resulting in increased projected area, and improved steering. Also new this year is our 6 strut construction designed to match the XPD panel lay out. Removal of the middle strut opens up the centre of the canopy and allows for better canopy definition and air flow through the vents. Planform Construction gives the full size range of 2010 Rise kites a similar turning feel and speed.The Vented kite canopy and 6 strut construction allows air to flow cleanly through the vents if the kite is flown off the back lines, reducing the chance of stalling or back flying during powered and unhooked moves!

WHAT IS A C3 LEADING EDGE?
Yet another industry first from Ocean Rodeo, in 2003 we introduced the Constant Conical Curve leading edge tube for all of our C shaped kites. While other kite manufacturers build their leading edge tube in segments that make an awkward arch. Our C3 Leading Edge design ascribes a progressive constant curve that smoothes the kite’s flight and provides stability when in the air.
WHAT IS SXS TECHNOLOGY?
Yup, you guessed it. Another industry first from Ocean Rodeo. Introduced in 2003 on all of our kites the Shock Strip (SxS) is a strip of Dacron that runs the width of the kite from wing tip to wing tip. This strip runs exactly over the apex of the kite’s curve and is designed to bear the load of a hard nose down crash. When a kite is crashed hard nose down onto the water a violent shock erupts from the leading edge down the center strut. In many other brand’s kites this will lead to a catastrophic tear along the center strut. With SxS Technology on our kites this Dacron Shock Strip spreads the load of this force out to the wing tips and often saves the kite from damage. If the shock is too severe and a tear does form it is often contained between the Shock Strip and the Leading Edge. This will allow you to safely fly into shore and inexpensively have the small tear repaired.
WHAT IS 3D CONSTRUCTION? WHY DO ALL OF YOUR KITES CLAIM TO HAVE THIS? AREN’T ALL KITES 3D?
3D does not describe the third dimension! 3D Construction is an industry first from Ocean Rodeo, introduced in 2003. It has since been copied by a number of other manufacturers in one form or another. 3D describes how we build all of our kites with a Dacron frame. The wingtips, leading edge and trailing edge are all framed in Dacron to provide a Built Tough frame for the kite.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BOOST AND HANGTIME?
On our kite chart we decided to separate the two as we feel boost describes the kite’s ability to lift you in the air while hangtime describes the kite’s ability to act as a wing and let you fly with the kite once airborne.
CAN I ATTACH A 5TH LINE TO AN SLE KITE?
Of course you can, however there is no gain in de-power as both the One and Rise already have incredible de-power. A 5th line can assist in water re-launch and self rescue, especially if you are concerned about winds that tend to suddenly switch off shore.
HOW CAN I ADJUST THE TURNING SPEEDS OR POTENTIAL DE-POWER OF MY KITES?
Both the Diablo and the Rise come ready to fly right out of the bag in the configuration best suited to that kite. However, both feature alternate attachment points that you can use to adjust both the turning speeds and the potential de-power of the kite. Please click here for the Diablo adjustments spec sheet or here for the Rise adjustments spec sheet. Please note! Changes made to the kite’s flying configuration, while simple to do, should only be undertaken by a person confident in their abilities and capable of understanding the effect various attachment positions will have on the kite’s performance.
WHAT STYLE OF KITE ARE EACH OF YOUR DIFFERENT MODELS?
The Rise kites are Supported Leading Edge (SLE) style kites. This style of kite relies on a leading edge bridle to hold the kite’s shape when in flight and benefits from the ability to de-power more completely than a traditional C shaped kite. The Diablo kite is a traditional C shaped kite. This shape is augmented for 2007 with a 5th line designed to come under load only under the most stressful maneuvers with the kite. This ensures that the kite’s shape is held throughout a critical kite transition.
