Smooth, lively and responsive steering, even when de-powered, makes it the ideal kite for surfing and a blast t ride in any conditions. The loaded 5th line design, in addition to providing safety, gives the rebel its short and aggressive power stroke that is up to 30% shorter than bridled kites. This means huge range and top-end comfort on those super windy days and the ability to instantly turn the power off and on at will as you link your turns down the line. Our new "floating" centre strut further enhances the direct de-power by allowing the canopy to easily luff as well as providing rock-solid stability in strong winds. The new back-line "v" attachment distributes the load of the back-lines on the kite for a solid bar feel and, together with the new bungee system, eliminates any line snags during re-launch. The Rebel's unique steering sensitivity and smoothness have also been improved by implementing a straight segment in the leading edge for an ultra clean, flutter-free canopy near the tips that keeps you connected and in-tune to the kite's every movement. So stop dreaming and go ride. Price: 899.00 GBP Quantity:   1   2   3   4   5   North Rebel 2010 9m Kite Only   Test rides are available, please call to request your kite colour.
