North Rebel (2012)

The 2012 Rebel remains North's flagship kite, combining
all the ingredients you need to cover a huge
wind-range, rip apart any size surf, boost huge airs
and ride comfortably in nearly all conditions.
 It is quite simply our best interpretation of what a modern
free-ride/wave kite should be and it's really no mystery
why the Rebel is THE most sold kite ever.

The 2012 Rebel remains a loaded 5th line kite, offering
its most acclaimed performance attributes like a short
bar stroke, crisp, direct feeling, rock solid stability in
all conditions, and it's unique ability to steer while
de-powered.

The new square wingtip design maximizes
the effective tip area, makes the tips less prone to
distortion and fluttering while steering and gives the
Rebel its new stylish and modern appeal.
Super clean tip panels account for greatly improved, ultra smooth
turning and easy handling that remains smooth even in over-powered conditions.


Size-specific tuning ensures that the big sizes feel crisp and lively and the
small sizes feel forgiving even in blistering wind.
The Rebel also features a simple back-line adjustment to
tune it for greater or lesser bar pressure to suit your desired feel.


As with all North kites, the 2012 Rebel is built to last utilizing our proven construction methods and the highest quality materials like our exclusive
Teijin D2 canopy fabric.
