I have an good offer for the Rebel 2018 6m
And for the bandit 12 6m too.
Does the Rebel have an Y or V?
Y for the Rebel but V seems to work to.

Check out Naish Slash -- very well-behaved and friendly

That´s my option as well (in 5 and 7m). Lots of fun on the twin tip being a dedicated wave kite. Jumps pretty well.

Which year you are talking about on the Naish slash?
Does it really jumps good for a wave kite?

Does a V bar fits?

2018 and 2019 Slash.
Have search on this forum. There are one or two threads on the Slash, with users talking about the jumping qualities. Good height with somewhat less hangtime than a Pivot. Hangtime still is sufficient for me. Easy handling in rough conditions. Lots of fun to slash 🙄 around on a TT in small waves.
Any bar with a low V works, probably you have to use pigtails for the knot/loop connection.

Small Pivot would also be an option
