The North Rebel is a great kite.
It has lots of pulling power and huge depower range.
It is fast and turns almost too quickly.When I got mine I was able to rig it straight out of the bag no fiddling with line adjustment and tuning,just rig and go.I feel like my riding has improved because I feel so much more control ,no feeling like the kite is just waiting to drag me into bush or into some hard surface.
The only downside so far has been bladder problems.After 2 months the dump valve on the leading edge started leaking.In fact it completly came off.That just sucked big time.My older North had the same problems.I thought they would have fixed that crap by now.The other “problem” is that is it is not one pump like so many of the newer kites switchblades etc.I am really suprised that North did not make that way.
Here is something to brighten your day
