DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Optimized Lift and Hangtime
The Rebel D/LAB 2026 offers immediate lift and a super vertical ascent. On the water, this translates to clean take-offs and extended hangtime, empowering you to confidently and precisely execute rotations and board-offs.
Super Direct Steering
By removing pulleys from the bridle, you get crisp and precise feedback at the bar. You'll feel every micro-impulse. This makes in-flight adjustments and power control effortless, especially during depower phases mid-jump.
Stability in Gusty Conditions
The 5-strut structure keeps the Kite locked in the wind window, even when the wind gets unstable. On the water, this means clean traction and a stable attitude, perfect for throwing committed loops without any surprises.
Optimized Recovery and Trajectory
A redesigned arc and outline promote quick loop recovery and a take-off with less lateral drift. In practice, you'll gain verticality at launch and find it easier to link technical maneuvers.
Lightweight and Stiff Materials
The combination of Aluula D/TX and Trinity TX reduces weight while boosting stiffness. The result is a more reactive Kite that's more dynamic in the air and built to withstand the demands of big air.
Designed for Modern Big Air
The Rebel D/LAB 2026 takes the Rebel's core DNA and adapts it to meet today's demands: massive hangtime, controlled board-offs, and powerful loops. We recommend it if your goal is to push your jumps higher than ever before.
