INFO
The Evo presents a seamless blend of freeride and newschool characteristics. Offering an incredibly stable, C-orientated feeling with the smoothness and de-power ability of a hybrid, the Evo allows you to bang out the latest unhooked freestyle tricks, to jump high, throw kite loops and cruise with ease. Nevertheless it is a freeride kite with predictable, polite manners. Also in waves the Evo shows his overall performance. A consistent power development and the steady bar-feeling make the Evo excellent for unhooking, while providing tons of pop for throwing newschool moves! Due to the round, compact shape of the Evo, relaunching is super easy. The 3D patches are light and durable and improve the overall quality of the kite. The profile created for the Evo is more powerful and improves the upwind abilities drastically. With the added low end in the big sizes the Evo will also take you out onto the water on light wind days. In 2011 also the Evo shows up with the comfortable Lazy Pump System.

INFO
Whether you like to rip waves, jump high or just cruise around on flat water, the 2011 Rebel is a stylish 5-line all-terrain free-ride/wave machine that gives you an unmatched "connected" feel and virtually limitless performance in all conditions.
The Rebel has become famous for its direct de-power, smooth, predictable turning, even when de-powered, and short bar stroke. And this year is no exception! Flutter-free wingtips have again greatly improved the smoothness and consistency of the Rebel's turning. This smooth turning combined with optimized canopy profiles that are highly resistant to back-stalling provide seamless power delivery ideal for surfing. Improved bar feel and de-power in the small sizes means even more comfortable and accessible top-end so you can keep having fun even when the wind gets nuclear. The loaded 5th line design provides the highest level of safety as well as being responsible for the unique short de-power stroke and direct lively feeling. Mainly due to the floating strut construction, the Rebels get a very direct and precise feeling – even when depowered. Our highest quality standard "Progression 10" construction means the Rebel is built to last and withstands the demands that riders put on their kites, as well as providing a long list of other slick details like back line V bungees and snag free strut ends. Now stop dreaming and go ride!
