Awesome - thanks very much for your explanation Wawando! Yes I've come from fairly gutless kites (SS Rally's - a 10m & 7m both using 20m lines).. so I'm having to get used the the extra power of the Rebels. My last session I took out a my 7m where I would have normally used a 10.. and that made a h...

After testing with a setup of one side with the knot in each position, I had no doubt in choosing the harder bar setting ... - Looping down the wave (in low winds i have to do this to keep it in the power zone) it has great behaviour ... Hi Wawando (or a...

I hope this is not considered hijacking a Rebel thread and applogize if so but I have a question regarding Rebels vs Fuses: I am just about to order a full quiver (5-7-9-12) and had sort of decided to go for Fuses.

Hahaha, good one! I like this one. The pic i saw of vegas was really ugly. 2011 and 2012 are nice too. No...

Outch ugliest kite ever...

Good luck
