The partnership between Camosun College and Ocean Rodeo will result in a completely new OEM product brought to the market. The pump will increase Ocean Rodeos revenue being relatively cheap to produce and transport compared to the industry standard pump. The broad amount of markets that the pump can be sold in will display Ocean Rodeo across a multitude of outdoor sporting markets potentially boosting dry suit sales. The innovation can help Ocean Rodeo break into the European market allowing for more exports to sold and ultimately result in more Canadians being employed both selling and working on innovative products and intellectual property. Ocean Rodeo was founded in 2001 as a watersports/surface suit division of Whites Manufacturing Ltd, a well established diving drysuit business in Victoria BC. At the the time the concept of a watersport drysuit barely existed. Over the past 16 years, Ocean Rodeo has established a name synonymous with watersport drysuit design and development, and are also recognised as leader in the design and manufacturing of kiteboarding components and equipment. Ocean Rodeo Pioneered kiteboarding safety components such as the push away release system, and more recently the back line trim control bar. Ocean Rodeo currently employs a team of 17 people in Victoria BC, up from 8 employees in 2015, and anticipates further increase in employees for 2018 and 2019. The company owns 3 patents with 14 other applications patent pending. Exploitation of IP is a significant part of the growth strategy for Ocean Rodeo, and a significant component of Ocean Rodeo's goals of maintaining its place as the internationally recognized innovative leader within the industry. Ocean Rodeo currently exports its products to 40 countries around the world with 70% of its revenue coming from export markets.

卡莫森学院和 Ocean Rodeo 之间的合作将导致一款全新的 OEM 产品推向市场。与行业标准泵相比，该泵的生产和运输相对便宜，将增加海洋牛仔竞技表演的收入。该泵可销售的广泛市场将在众多户外运动市场上展示 Ocean Rodeo，从而有可能促进干式潜水衣的销售。这项创新可以帮助 Ocean Rodeo 打入欧洲市场，从而增加出口量，并最终让更多加拿大人从事创新产品和知识产权的销售和工作。 Ocean Rodeo 成立于 2001 年，是 Whites Manufacturing Ltd 的水上运动/水面服部门，该公司是不列颠哥伦比亚省维多利亚市一家成熟的潜水干衣企业。当时水上运动干衣的概念几乎不存在。在过去的 16 年里，Ocean Rodeo 已成为水上运动干衣设计和开发的代名词，并且被公认为风筝冲浪组件和设备设计和制造的领导者。 Ocean Rodeo 开创了风筝冲浪安全组件，例如推开释放系统，以及最近的背线装饰控制杆。 Ocean Rodeo 目前在不列颠哥伦比亚省维多利亚拥有一支由 17 名员工组成的团队，高于 2015 年的 8 名员工，预计 2018 年和 2019 年员工人数将进一步增加。该公司拥有 3 项专利，还有 14 项其他申请正在申请专利。知识产权的利用是 Ocean Rodeo 增长战略的重要组成部分，也是 Ocean Rodeo 保持其作为行业内国际公认创新领导者地位的目标的重要组成部分。 Ocean Rodeo目前将产品出口到全球40个国家，70%的收入来自出口市场。
