Ocean Rodeo Glide Aluula A-Series Wing

What Ocean Rodeo has to say about the Glide A-series wing- 

Ocean Rodeo is proud to bring the new lighter weight Aluula material to winging. The Glide’s extreme light weight helps create a balanced feeling whether you’re surfing windswell or creating insane speed to take to the air and jump. Ocean Rodeo has been dedicated to improving the wind and water experience for the last 20 years and this wing is no exception. Ocean Rodeo is dedicated to producing high level gear that is a step above its predecessors and has never been known to rush things to market simply to tout a product as the latest and greatest. Rather a high level of research and design goes into each product until it has that polished feeling. 

All Ocean rodeo wings feature some level of the Aluula technology. The ultra light and strong Aluula material is a vision of the future that will continue to deliver the ultimate ride. The Glide A-series is 40% lighter than the industry standard dacron. This means more power, more float and more fun!

DESIGN OVERVIEW

• The entire Wing is 50% lighter than competing Dacron framed Wings
• The airframe tear resistance is 2x stronger than Dacron

The Glide A-series can handle higher PSI than the industry standard Dacron. This gives you a lighter and much stiffer wing with improved handling in all situations.

Ryan’s Ocean Rodeo Aluula Glide Wing Review –

The Ocean Rodeo Glide Aluula wings have revolutionized the world of wingfoiling. Ok, maybe not quite that dramatic, but pretty darn close! Currently, this wing is number one in my quiver and here is why. Lightweight: this is one of the lightest wings on the market.  Handles: it has some of the most comfortable, easy to grip handles I’ve used. I’d rate the handles in the top 3 right now. Canopy tension: very tight canopy tension allows this wing to pump up on foil very efficiently. Drive: this wing has a lot of forward drive, meaning once up on foil it is efficient and sometimes this allows you to ride one size smaller wing than before. The windows are small, making the wing easy to pack up. Overall, this wing is great for everything you want out of a wing. It gets you up on foil quickly and surfs like a dream. 

The second generation wing is here!

Ocean Rodeo is made up of passionate surfers, kiters, foilers and, most recently, wing surfers. They recognized immediately after their first wing surf runs that a lighter, stiffer wing would increase all aspects of wing performance and ultimately make the sport easier and allow for improved performance for all levels and styles of riding. Cutting the weight of a wing in half vs. traditional Darcon air frame construction improves every aspect of a wing’s performance.

In collaboration with ALUULA, Ocean Rodeo is pleased to bring the composite materials revolution to wing foiling. Whether you’re generating insane speed and drive to take to the air or forgetting your wing as it flags out behind you on a wave, the Glide’s extreme low weight, smooth handling, and balanced design delivers the highest levels of performance.

Ocean Rodeo’s mission has always been to deliver the ultimate wind and water experience. With the recent explosion in the new sport of Wing Surfing their devotion to superior design and quality remains as laser sharp today as it was for the last 20 years. They have not rushed to enter the wing market with “me too” materials and designs. They are addicted to this new sport and, as always, have approached it as innovators who want to push the sport forward. The 2021 Ocean Rodeo Wing design brings 20 years of hard-earned manufacturing experience together with the revolution of ultra light and strong composite materials.

Developed in collaboration with ALUULA Composites, all Ocean Rodeo wings feature some level of this technology in their DNA. With these new composite technologies the sport of wing surfing has arrived at a very exciting time in the evolution of all things powered by wind. Their proven 20 year legacy combined with an “ultra light and strong” vision of the future remains committed to delivering the ultimate ride.

Featuring a complete ALUULA composite airframe, the Glide A-Series is 40% lighter than industry standard Dacron framed wings!
A quick flex response air frame brings this wing alive in all conditions. Next level performance for all levels of rider delivering supreme bliss while riding wind chop, swell or breaking surf.
