PERFORMANCE North Kiteboarding is proud to introduce a new breed of boat kite: The Rebel. Combining all the benefits of total depowerwith the safety, performance and relaunch benefits of five lines, the Rebel is breaking all the rules! Using a redefined leading edge arc, canopy profile and swept wing tips, the Rebel challenges what was previously thought possible with a five-line kite, changing angle of attack instantly to deliver a huge power / de-power range. Simply rigged on North’s 5th Element, the Rebel has the direct bar feel and instant turning response of a shape kite, without the hassle of bridles or pulleys normally associated with a flat kite. With it’s moderate arc and fifth line support, the Rebel is incredibly smooth and stable and is never prone to inverting. The Rebel makes setting up for a jump almost effortless by allowing you to de-power as you position the kite above your head, then sheet in for power and lift. With its super-durable construction and massive power / de-power range, the Rebel is also the perfect waveriding tool. Power-up through your bottom turns, then instantly turn off the power for vertical wave re-entries. The Rebel allows you to position yourself on the wave, where you want, when you want! So if you’re looking for all-round performance and safety with the simplicity of five lines, look no further. The Rebel will give you all the tools you need! Prove it!
