subject: The Features Of The New North Rebel 2013 [print this page] The North Rebel kites need not need be introduced to those who are already enjoying kiteboarding or kitesurfing. Over the last 10 years or so, the sport has become extremely popular and thousands of people in the US and in other countries have tried it. Since the year 2001 when the company was established, North Kiteboarding has been at the forefront of kiteboarding equipment manufacturers. There are many more makers today who are trying to meet the growing demands, but the company retains its superior position. Currently, the company holds the position of being among the top 3 makes of kiteboarding equipment in the world.
The reduction from three segments to just one segment in the span between tip and quarter struts is the change in geometry that is shared by all North Rebels. Over the years, this is an idea North have tested and revisited but upon the right way to do it, only now have hit. North Rebel kites are available in the following sizes for you to select from: 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14 and 16. When you are using this kite, you can expect to gain from the various benefits of de-powering with adequate safety, and performance and five lines re-launch benefits. Once you have used this, you will conclude that it stands out. This kite breaks all the rules. With this, you will find the redefined leading edge arc, swept wing tips and canopy profile. This is what lets you take on everything that was traditionally accomplished with a five-line kite.
North knew that having too few segments through the centre part of the kite from testing, and from observing some other kites on the water, on the profile shape of the canopy, there are many undesirable effects due to the part that has the most curve in the arc. Therefore, through the middle of the kite, North knew they didn't want to use single-segment geometry. However, the single segment approach makes sense as due to their resistance to flapping and fluttering nearer the tips, where the arc of the kite is normally not so curved and where flat, canopy profiles are desirable.Other features of the north rebel include the moderate arc and the fifth line support, because of these, you get a kite that is extremely smooth and stable. As a result, as you use the kite, it does not end up investing.
