2021 Ocean Rodeo Flite Aluula Ultralite Kite

The construction of this kite is unbelievable. It flies in the least amount of wind as any other kite I've used. It relaunches so well in marginal conditions. Good for teaching in 10-12mph or foiling when nothing else wants to stay in the sky.

As a instructor I usually wouldn't teach a lesson unless its blowing 12mph, but having access to a 14.5m has allowed me to easily teach a ground control lesson in 10mph. It provides consistent pull and flies in marginal winds so well. Smooth consistent pull in light wind makes it a great option for foiling as well. The aluula material is a noticeable weight saver both when in the air and transporting between session. Stoked on this one

Was out on the 14.5m in 10-12mph the other day and was very impressed with the kite. The materials used in the construction save a lot of weight and its noticeable. This is a foil machine! Also great for teaching kite control on when the wind is light. The 17m is great to teach a twin tip session on when the wind is marginal as well.

I flew the 14.5 Aluula Flite while foiling in 12mph (6-15 gusts). It was superb. Light, stiff, responsive. Good relaunch even in deep water with light winds. (Almost makes we want to get the 17m for twin tipping on super light wind days.)

I'm not sure how much is the Flight design or the Aluula fabric but I really like this kite better then the 2019 Juice I had been using. The response is really nice... I'm not sure I get anymore on the low end of the wind range for myself but much of that could be my skill level at this point. I feel like 10 mph is a reasonable bottom for me. Have had it up to around 20 mph with no problems.
