hey mate,
new rebel- fast and lighter bar pressure but still all the old good features!

hit up ur local dealer.

The 2009 EVO is a sick kite too if you wanna go all around kite. This kite will be perfect for starting unhooked!

where in QLD are you?

happy kiting in 2009

Hi Sharmat,

Definately get a demo of the new Rebel 09, they are quick, light on the bar, responsive, boost huge and are a real no brainer to fly.

A much improved kite. I wasn't even a big fan of the 08 as it was heavy to steer.

Good winds,

Hi Crazy,

I fly mine with the 4 lines, as it seemed to make no difference with the 5th line on it, as for safety there is no difference if you hit the quick realease they just fall out, for beginners i would recommend that they hook up the 5th line, but for a seasoned kiter there is no real benefit
The Evo's have a better relaunch than the Rebels, In the surf the rebel flew a bit more stable, the Evo is very fast in the surf and is great for getting out of tight spots fast, After having the 14m Rebel and testing the 12m Evo in the same wind I was hooked, The 12m Evo has the grunt of the 14m Rebel, The 12m responds in turns like the 10m Rebel did, The 14m Rebel was great but very slow in turning, I think the next Size Evo up was a 15m, and I'd rather wait for a windy day of 13knots or more than fly a big kite

How much do you weight? darn beaten to it by seconds

Flysurfer Psycho 4, is nice and predictable... good for been unhooked. Fast turning. Very low bar pressure.

Cons: Expensive... but it's German engineering at it's finest.
