Not any big changes. Be interesting to see what the reviews produce with reference to 2012.
Looks good! I think I'll buy a 9m and a 12m if they are as good as they seem to be. Quite like the graphs on it too. Anybody flown one yet?
If you want an idea of prices we have them live on our website, along with the twin tip range from North.

Demo gear will be here soon!
also North will be doing demos throughout August so check with your local dealer when a demo for your beach is scheduled 
it'd be a step in the right direction if all they've done is ensure the grip doesn't peel off.
All North board prices are board and fins only.
All North kite prices are kite only.
Hi Eppo,
There are a lot of changes to the kites and bars too. Don't expect major changes in a design that has been evolved and honed to such an extent as the Rebel.
For the nay sayers and people making vague assumptions without any first hand experience, rather than be negative, why not drop into the shop? We have a 2013 9m Rebel for demo along with one of the new 2013 X-Rides and a 6'2" Pro series wave board (currently on demo).
North have done an amazing job with the bars and kites this year and most of the improvements will likely set new standards for the industry.
We went to the dealer meeting expecting some minor innovations and tweaks, but came away excited and amped for a new season of kick arse gear. I would imagine most riders will be well impressed, so why not keep an open mind until you have had a ride on the new gear as the dealers all have? The gear speaks for itself.

I just noticed something horribly wrong with the new bar.. no bar size adjustment? Or do the top ends and floats detach and swivel?

Agreed, hard to beat 2012, such a good kite.
As I said cant wait to hear the reviews on the new kites and bars.
It would be nice if North made a bar that didn't wear the front lines out in the first three months of use, and/or if the front lines are going to break, as they do, make an iron heart that will make it easier to replace the front lines when they always break!!!
Never had that problem with the 2012 bar? Still has original front lines and depower line? Yeh the iron heart takes a bit of technique when changing. Still like it for untwisting lines.
wait a minute.... North have new struts that are thicker in the front and thinner in the back?!
when will these brilliant minds ever stop coming up with new innovations?! 
sick riding from sky solback though thumbs up to him!
We have the new 11m Rebel as a demo. Please feel free to call up and book in a test ride next time there is wind.
