Ocean Rodeo Safety Alert
From Oceanrodeo.com - Ocean Rodeo has just become aware of a potential safety issue with some of its most recently shipped One Kite Punch Up bars.
Please Note! This issue affects only a small number of bars but we are sufficiently concerned to ask all Ocean Rodeo One Kite customers to check their bar before their next session.
All of our One Kites ship with a bar that relies on a front line leash. The leash attaches to a length of spectra leader line which is held in place by a stopper ball that can not pass through a metal O-Ring.
It appears that in some rare cases the O-Ring used for this assembly was too large. This would allow the stopper ball to pass through the ring when put under load.
We have now addressed this issue internally, so all bars shipped in the future will not have this problem. Further, we suspect that this issue only relates to our May shipment of One kites. However, we ask that all our customers check the existing O-Rings on their bars, especially if you received a kite in the last 2 months.
There is a quick and easy fix!"
