Building on the recent successful applied research project between Camosun College and Ocean Rodeo - Design, Testing and Fabrication of Harness & Control Bar Safety System for Kite boarding (File Number E 479710-15), the partnership is further enriching its collaboration with this exciting new project - "Design, Development, Testing and Integration of Leading Edge Kiteboarding Technology to Enhance Kiteboarder Comfort, Safety and Performance", a three year project. Ocean Rodeo currently employs a team of 12 people in Victoria BC, up from 8 employees in 2015 and anticipate further increase in employees for 2017 & 2018. The company owns or holds exclusive license to 8 patents with 16 other applications 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 over 40 countries around the world. Ocean Rodeo's management team have a strong history of success with partnering with Camosun both through the successful execution of a Level 1 NSERC-ARD grant, and also through their former sister company, Whites Manufacturing. This project will address four themes critical to the development of Ocean Rodeo's next generation kiteboarding equipment system: (1) development of an integrated kite-control and harnesses system which is the next phase of development after the Engage grant activity that resulted in the creation of a safety-enhanced kiteboard control arm; (2) testing and selecting fabrics suitable for use in harsh-environments. This theme includes the development of testing methodology as well as carrying out textile testing, looking at factors that will include abrasion resistance, permeability, bias-testing, and accelerated long-term durability testing; (3) development and testing of a new zipper system and its integration with the most suitable fabrics determined from the second phase of this project; and finally (4) these three themes will be integrated into a highly unified, intuitive, and ergonomically designed kiteboarding system.

卡莫森学院和 Ocean Rodeo 最近成功的应用研究项目——风筝冲浪用安全带和控制杆安全系统的设计、测试和制造（文件号 E 479710-15）为基础，此次合作进一步丰富了双方与这一令人兴奋的新项目的合作。项目 - “设计、开发、测试和集成领先的风筝冲浪技术，以提高风筝冲浪者的舒适度、安全性和性能”，一个为期三年的项目。 Ocean Rodeo 目前在不列颠哥伦比亚省维多利亚拥有 12 名员工，高于 2015 年的 8 名员工，预计 2017 年和 2018 年员工人数将进一步增加。该公司拥有或持有 8 项专利的独家许可，还有 16 项其他申请正在审批中。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 目前将其产品出口到全球 40 多个国家。 Ocean Rodeo 的管理团队在与 Camosun 合作方面有着悠久的成功历史，不仅成功执行了 NSERC-ARD 1 级拨款，还通过其前姐妹公司 Whites Manufacturing 进行了合作。 该项目将解决对 Ocean Rodeo 下一代风筝冲浪设备系统开发至关重要的四个主题：(1) 开发集成风筝控制和安全带系统，这是继 Engage 赠款活动之后的下一阶段开发，该活动导致创建了安全增强型风筝冲浪板控制臂； (2)测试并选择适合在恶劣环境下使用的织物。该主题包括开发测试方法以及进行纺织品测试，研究包括耐磨性、渗透性、偏差测试和加速长期耐久性测试在内的因素； (3) 开发和测试新的拉链系统及其与本项目第二阶段确定的最合适面料的集成；最后（4）这三个主题将被整合到一个高度统一、直观且符合人体工程学设计的风筝冲浪系统中。
