Locked up in the Ocean Rodeo R&D vault since 2000, it was only a matter of time before the market realized the advantages of the swept anhedral foil concept. From the outset, the goal of the ONE kite was to offer riders the simplicity of using a single kite in all but the most extreme conditions. Wake-style? Surf? This kite is for you. The Diablo is a C shaped kite that truly penetrates the window and goes upwind like a high aspect ratio kite but at the same time has low bar pressure and pivots on its wingtip while turning incredibly quickly. The Diablo accomplishes all of this without requiring a fifth line for trim control while offering an incredible wind range for riders. The Session Harness is a mix of ideas and concepts from OR's experience in kiteboarding, sky diving and hang gliding. If you have been unfortunate enough to have a harness fail while kiting you will understand their mission to create the toughest, safest harness ever conceived. One day all harnesses will be built this way!
