BRIDLES

A fixed short line bridle with a floating V design and a two pulley system creates direct and snappy response while also keeping bar pressure low. New to this generation are larks head loops on front bridles, and knots on the back lines making for an innovative system that stabilizes the leading edge. This allows the Roam to lift out of a loop and avoiding a stall for maximum climb.

 

SHAPE

The Ocean Rodeo Flite features a high aspect ratio to produce greater lift and while generating less drag for a kite that lifts you windward.
