I have no problem with getting it back up. Goes up first time every time. Not sure they must be doing. Super easy relaunch for me.

I wish paul would stop using my login name!!!

Hehe looks like north’s rebels going to be the kite that rocks this year going off the preceding comment, when people start saying things like... crossbows invert all the time... and rebels cant be relaunched you just know the other manufactures/shops/fans see it as a big threat and hence the generalizations.. Well done the rebel!

Ps. north people were doing it last year if I recall with the cab kites. It’s such a fickle industry really and considering its said to be extreme there is so many drama queens online.

Initially it was a pain in the ass to relaunch....so thought have to have a crash, relaunch seession in lighter winds.

Yep its a pain in the arse until you realise there is a method.

I have found when LE down, pull the depower block and a rear line. Then slowly let the block out as the kite comes around. I found the harder or more of the rear line you pull in the faster it goes up.

Does the rebel relaunch like a bow (ie reverse off the water) or like a C-kite (flip on back and slide to edge of window)?

The rebel has a similar technique to the bows for relaunch, some may be having trouble because your not used to relaunching in this manner! As posted before, the Rebel relaunches super fast, and every time! Just remeber that you need to pull plenty of back line on, there is no 2:1 gay pulley on these kites, you need a good arms length. People sooking about relaunch, bring back 21.5m ARX's and I'll show hard to relaunch!

Yeah JB dunno about that, but i agree that relaunch is more technique as opposed to a design flaw in the kite.

I would suggest that if you get a Rebel, then spend 20 mins or so familiarising yorself with the idiosyncracies of its relaunch cause its different, not impossible, just different.
