Hey! If you want a kite that rides super smooth with great range yeah rebels go alright. But if your unhooking and looping stay with the switch or look at the Vegas.

going from a kite with 6 pulleys and massive bridles and tons of bar pressure to a kite with no pulleys and no bridles and light bar pressure will be quite a nice change

Might want to consider going from SBs to the 2013 Cabrinha SBs. Been totally redesigned; for sure is more nimble with lighter bar pressure. Confirmed by those who tested at Belmont yesterday... Guys on 14m, including 310 pounder, with other guys and gals on the 10 and 8, and also riding unhooked
Give em a try before u make a final decision

Lol... for what it's worth - you'll find it rather surprising that it's actually possible to ride without getting your arms ripped out! :thumb:

I'd take the pulleys over over a 5th line any day... I have tried 2013 SB and it is an improvement from the 2012, lighter bar pressure and faster turning from what I felt. I was super impressed!!

Any chance the 2013 SB's drift for surf?
