Ocean Rodeo only planned to make two Aluula demos - 10m Roam and 14.5 Flite. So far, dealers have only received the 10m Roam. The full range arrives in late May.

I don't know who bought the company and when they will resume shipping product. Anyone know?

Thanks,
Stafford

Pimping and trolling here -- we finally got the Peak4's back in stock. http://www.adventurekiteboarding.com/fl ... -snowkite/

Sorry, this is one of the few products in the store that none of us have ridden so I can't give any specific comparison info.

That is the actual pricing. It's pretty much in line with foil kites, which may be the most direct competition for light wind and foiling. Surf, not so much.

Some more video. It doesn't show much as the wind and snow were bogus. But I had to try the kite.

Somehow Aluula doesn't rely on thread count for strength.

I opened up the zipper and found style bladders in the kite. Must be another factor of a pre-production model. The production kites with the lighter bladders.

My first impression video. Feedback from O.R. already schooled me on a few things: That is the bag it will come with (lightweight), as it's pre-production, not all will look identical to this one in the small details, they are using Teijen Technoforce D2 on Aluula kites and 2020 legacy construction ...

Not that it makes a world of difference, but the Alpha is 1 strut and the Roam is 3 strut. 3 struts are generally handle the high end better etc. Compare the Ozone Reo to the Roam, those are both surf kites with 3 struts to get an accurate measure of how much lighter Aluula is.
