North Kiteboarding is proud to introduce a new breed of kite: The Rebel.

Combining all the benefits of total de-power with the safety, performance and re-launch benefits of five lines, the Rebel is breaking all the rules!

Using a redefined leading edge arc, canopy profile and swept wing tips, the Rebel challenges what was previously thought possible with a five-line kite, changing angle of attack instantly to deliver a huge power/de-power range.

Simply rigged on North's 5th Element, the Rebel has the direct bar feel and instant turning response of a c-shape kite, without the hassle of bridles or pulleys normally associated with a flat kite. With it’s moderate arc and fifth line support, the Rebel is incredibly smooth and stable and is never prone to inverting.

The Rebel makes setting up for a jump almost effortless by allowing you to depower as you position the kite above your head, then sheet in for power and lift.

With its super-durable construction and massive power/de-power range, the Rebel is also the perfect wave-riding tool. Power-up through your bottom turns, then instantly turn off the power for vertical wave re-entries. The Rebel allows
you to position yourself on the wave, where you want, when you want!

So if you’re looking for all-round performance and safety with the simplicity of five lines, look no further . . . The Rebel will give you all the tools you need!

Single Point Inflation System >

Just pull the kite out of the bag, hook the pump to a single valve and inflate the entire kite to a desired pressure. If you would like to roll up the kite with only the leading edge deflated, a set of lock off clips will ensure that the struts stay inflated.

New Cam Battens >

The new CamBattens give the kite two key advantages: Lower drag at normal angles of attack and better profile stability at low angles of attack! At normal angles of attack, the CamBattens keep the shape smooth and stable along the front part of the canopy. Aerodynamic theory tells us that this is the most important part of the profile for generating power with low drag. As you let the bar out to de-power, the wind tries to collapse the front part of the canopy and push the kite back. CamBattens resist this by keeping a full, stable shape near the leading edge, allowing the kite to fly at lower angles of attack for more depower. Combine the CamBattens with Trim Tips, the new tip geometry lets the kite tilt even farther, and de-power to the maximum.

All of this gives the Rebel 07 a very direct feel on the bar, better low end performance due to reduced drag, and a much wider wind range. On the water you will notice that the wind just seems a lot smoother, with less holes and gusts.

This simple yet high performing kite can be used with any 5th line control bar providing the depower line is more than 45cm long.

North 04/05 5th Element Control Bars can be used but upgrading to the Iron Heart Chicken Loop is recommended.
