yeah get the 2010 rebel. north rebels are known for their consistency. at least the last few years they have been consistent with the garantee your kite will fold in half. keep up the good work north!

2007 Rebels were the best by far, its all gone downhill from there on. Not tried the 2010 yet, not sure they are released yet?

Hi Guys,

Best way to determine if the Rebel 2010 is for you is to drop in and demo one in a few weeks when we start to receive stock.

Cheers,

KH

I agree with the first part of your statement, 2010 Rebels are very cool kites, ive been having a great time on the 12m so far. lots of grunt and a little bit faster than last year, however as AKS said, the best way of finding out what is for you is to demo.
As for the folding issue, It was a recognised problem that occurred when the 2009 (and only 2009) Rebels were either underinflated or pushed very hard through the window by a heavy rider. A FREE line was supplied to rectify this problem if it persisted under proper inflation. If anyone who bought a 2009 Rebel in Australia still does not have this line, please contact a north retailer or Windgenuity to get one.

The 2010 Rebel has 5 struts again, which will stabilise the LE and stop any folding as was experienced in some 2009 kites.

my 09 7m was ok, never folded
seems bigger 9m on had problems - mine did

dont care what those with vested interest say the 09's had major problems
seen it several times and experienced them too, magical origami folding and self tying kites, leading edge concertining no matter what pressue you put in, limited depower

08, 07 great kites

'10 - lets see
