The Ocean Rodeo Rise Venturi SLE, by far Ocean Rodeo's best selling kite last year, is back for 2009! Updated for a more technical and polished look. Veteran Rise riders will appreciate the finer changes to!
New narrower strut and LE tubes makes the 09 Rise the most efficient kite we've ever made!
Updated bridle attachment points allow the rider to modify the kite's turning speeds and wind range. Included on the 2008 Rise this year's 09 Rise has these attachment points better balanced for maximum effect and performance.
Planform Turning Speed. For 2009 we have worked hard to balance the turning speeds of the Rise. Less twitchy at the smaller sizes and insanely fast at the larger sizes, the 2009 Rise maintains a constant solid feel across its whole size range!
2009 Rise is available for pre-order now in sizes 6-14m. Full production of sizes 2-16m will be available September 2009.
1) More stylish for the kite-fashion conscious set.
2) More depower and top end range.
3) New, individually designed planforms for all sizes. We've tamed down the 4 and 6 and made the larger sizes much faster!
4) Smaller diameter struts, while retaining a larger diameter LE. This improves aerodynamics and has increased the turning speeds of the larger kites, while at the same time not compromising ease of relaunch and the rock solid in-flight stability. The Rise is one of the few SLE's on the market that will never taco.
5) A more nimble overall feel in the larger sizes.
6) Even more efficient than the 08 version, allowing you to ride an ever smaller kite!
7) More color choices - yellow, orange, red, black, bright green, army green and blue.
