Ocean Rodeo Shift 3.0
SHIFT 3.0
The benchmark for ultimate kite control.
The iconic Shift bar is suitable for all riding styles, and particularly popular with wave and freeriders. Now in its 3rd generation, backline trim is fast becoming the future standard of kite control, the Shift 3.0 provides reliable and seamless power adjustment, all within easy reach, and without having to take your eyes off the water or become off balance stretching for a depower cleat - the pinacle of kite control is directly on the handle easily within reach at all times.
Further new refinements include a reduced diameter grip, for a more direct and tactile feel between the kite and bar. The diamond grip texture has also been refined, making it less aggressive on the hands while still delivering exceptional grip for all riding styles and in varying environmental temperatures.
Other new features include crank stops at the tips of both bar floats, and further refined gearing in the pawl winder assembly for precision trim control every time.
The Shift outfits with the new Gen 9 Punch Out Trim Loop and freeride Leash. ISO 21853 compliant, the new trim loop and leash are loaded with exciting new features to enhance your ride while delivering reliable release and depower flag out.
Bar Length: 52 cm
Line Length: 22 m

DIAMOND GRIP
A reduced diameter grip, resulting in a more direct and tactile feel between the kite and bar, and a diamond grip texture which has also been refined to make it less aggressive on the hands while still delivering exceptional grip for all riding styles and in varying environmental temperatures.
HOUR GLASS BAR OPENING
Made with marine grade stainless steel, the center hole is highly tapered to accept the rugged 12mm PU tubing. The refined shape delivers smooth sheeting at extreme angles.
HELIX FORCE TENSION: LINE PAYOUT SYSTEM
Now featuring a new crank stop at the top of the bar float preventing overwinding, the Helix Force Tensioned rear lines ensure clean paying rear lines even with slack back line. This feature is crucial when rigging on the beach, allowing you to easily depower your kite before launch, even with no tension on the back lines. Helix Force Tensioning provides perfect spooling every time, regardless of line tension from the kite.
On The Fly Stopper Adjustment
The easily adjusted, single handed, on-the-fly bar stopper! The Shift’s ultra clean front line set-up offers up to 1.2 meters (3’9”) in sheeting range. Realize the full sheeting range of your kite by pushing the stopper out to your maximum reach. New riders can slide the stopper completely out to maximum throw for near total depower on SLE kites by simply just letting go of the bar. All styles of rider will appreciate the flexible stopper positioning for specific moves.
RELAUNCH BEAD
KITE RELAUNCH ASSIST
Relaunch beads are located on the back line leaders just above the ends of the Helix Force Tension system. They offer an easy spot to grip if a back line pull is required to expedite water relaunch.
