Design, Development, Testing, and Fabrication of a Portable Air Pump for Kiteboarding, Stand Up Paddle Boarding, Camping, Biking and Other Recreational Uses

Camosun College和Ocean Rodeo之间的合作将导致一种全新的OEM产品推向市场。该泵将增加Ocean Rodeos的收入，与行业标准泵相比，生产和运输相对便宜。该泵可以销售的广阔市场将在众多户外运动市场展示Ocean Rodeo，可能会提振干装销售。这项创新可以帮助Ocean Rodeo打入欧洲市场，从而销售更多的出口产品，最终导致更多的加拿大人受雇于销售和从事创新产品和知识产权的工作。 Ocean Rodeo成立于2001年，是怀特制造有限公司的水上运动/水面服部门，怀茨制造有限公司是公元前维多利亚州一家久负盛名的潜水干衣企业。当时，水上运动干衣的概念几乎还不存在。在过去的16年里，Ocean Rodeo建立了水上运动干衣设计和开发的同义词，并在风筝冲浪板部件和设备的设计和制造方面被公认为领导者。Ocean Rodeo开创了风筝滑板安全部件的先河，例如推开释放系统，以及最近推出的背线装饰控制杆。 Ocean Rodeo目前在维多利亚不列颠哥伦比亚省拥有17名员工，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，另外14项申请正在申请专利。开发知识产权是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的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。

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.
