Hi guys

I recently sold all my kitesurfing gear (2010 SB _m and 12m, airush switch 138x39, 5' North freestyle fish) and I am looking to buy again everything from scratch.

Looking around I pretty much nailed it down to either cabrinha switchblade 2011 OR North rebel 2011. I've always been happy with cabs, but maybe it is time to try something new. That's why I d like your opinion : Have you try both ? How do they compare ?

In particular I am worried about the 5th line of the rebel. Can that generate excessive entanglement ? Is it worth it ? Are rebels better to get into kite loop sort of stuff and wave riding (I've been doing some noob wave riding and kite loops with the kite very high above)

looking forward to your answers ...
