From flat-water freedom to any size surf, the 2010 Rebel is an all-terrain freeride / wave kite. Smooth, lively and responsive steering, even when de-powered, makes it the ideal kite for surfing and a blast to ride in any conditions. The loaded 5th line design, in addition to providing safety, gives the Rebel its short and aggressive power stroke that is up to 30% shorter than bridled kites. This means huge range and top-end comfort on those super windy days and the ability to instantly turn the power off and on at will as you link your turns down the line. The new “floating” center strut further enhances the direct de-power by allowing the canopy to easily luff as well as providing rock-solid stability in strong winds. The new back-line “V” attachment distributes the load of the back-lines on the kite for a solid bar feel and together with the new bungee system, eliminates any line snags during re-launch. The Rebel’s steering sensitivity and smoothness have also been improved by implementing a straight segment in the leading edge for an ultra clean, flutter-free canopy near the tips that keeps you connected and in-tune to the kite’s every movement.

The Rebel works with the Trust 5th element bar and lines.
(5th Element)
- The benchmark in safety
- Improved safety leash
- Redesigned Iron Heart
- Lower release forces & lighter weight
- Adjustable sliding stopper
- Lighter Vario Cleat

Now in its 4th year, North Kiteboarding’s 5th Element has been tweaked again. The reworked IronHeart and Safety Leash require lower release forces and are now more functional even in sandy and wet saltwater conditions. The new Sliding Stopper and Stopperball with the double depower line ensure a perfect hold of the bar in all situations. The smaller and lighter VarioCleat helps you to adjust the bar fast and easy for a perfect fit.
