Ocean Rodeo Prodigy Kite
Prodigy Structure
Shape
A kite that can jump, surf, and freeride starts with a moderate arc. This enables the prodigy to be a fast turning kite in combination with a large sheeting range.
Ratio
The Prodigy’s mid aspect ratio works in tandem with its arc to create a perfect balance between lift while never compromising kite response.
3 Strut Frame
This precision engineered 3 strut frame truly unlocks the ability to do a little bit of everything at any skill level. Constructed with a custom blend two dacrons provides the a carefully crafted balance of tenacity and agility. The struts are made of KP-E dacron providing incredible strength, durability, and rigidity; While the leading edge is made from Teijin dacron in order to reduce the overall weight without sacrificing its moxie.
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 Prodigy to lift out of a loop and avoiding a stall for maximum climb.
Safety System
A single front line flag out system is used allowing the rider to achieve maximum de-power if the trim loop release is activated.
WARNING! It is crucial that the bar you are using utilizes this system.
Note: For Next Gen kites we have changed the bridles on our kites so that the front attachments have loops and the back attachments have knots.
In order to use a previous generation Ocean Rodeo bar with a Next Gen kite, you must first install the OR Bar Bridle Adapter Kit (which can be purchased from a dealer or directly from Ocean Rodeo) to the bridles on the kite. This will change the bridles so that the front attachments have knots and the back attachments have loops. Thus making it compatible with the older model bars.
Prodigy Materials
Teijin Technoforce D2 Ripstop
Designed specifically for the kiteboarding market, Teijin’s Technoforce D2 Ripstop has high tear resistance, low stretch, and is incredibly light weight.
Each Strand of yarn is individually coated before being woven together. A second surface coating is then applied to the material, providing long term endurance.
Teijin D2 is the benchmark in quality with proven superiority in durability and dynamics.
Challenge D2.9 RS Dacron
Designed specifically to combat the loads in an inflatable leading edge kite. This material has been shown to hold a kite’s shape better and longer than others by over 60%. We use warp oriented constructions using Ultra High tenacity yarns with an increased thread count to combat elongation in the warp direction under high inflation pressures. Lower elongation makes for a more accurate kite with less deformation while in flight.
Prodigy Features
Precision Curve Struts
New curved struts hold the designed foil shape delivering the desired performance through the wind range.
Armortex Abrasion Guard
Ultra-light, non fraying, and abrasion resistant, these Kevlar/ nylon blend scuff protection pads deliver a streamlined no snag profile throughout the kite.
Ultra Lite Construction
We use a blend of state of the art fabrics and components in order to bring to you the lightest and toughest kites we’ve ever made. Using custom blended UV film in our strut and leading edge bladders allows us to double down on light weight with outstanding durability.
