Kite is in good condition, purchased new fall 2015 - this is one of my 4 kites, and I don't get out nearly as much as I'd like so it has seen light use. Canopy has a tear repaired with sail tape (does not impact flying).
Bar is a 2015 North Trust bar, with new 24 meter lines (converting it to the 2020 set up, where it can be used as a 4 line bar). Lines have less than two seasons on them (likely about 10 or so sessions). Lines purchased from kitesboardinglines.com. Bar is available for an additional $200 (only with purchase of the kite).

The Rebel was a game changer when it was first launched all those years ago. Since then it has remained the best selling kite in the North Kiteboarding range year on year. There are so many fans out there that fly the Rebel week in week out and love it. With good reason, the Rebel is one of the most stable kites on the market, making it perfect for beginners, intermediates and experts alike. The kite offers responsive steering, even when it is depowered. The upwind ability of the kite is also fantastic, making it great for freeride, waves and even a bit of racing.
The Rebel gives the rider a good amount of bar feedback, offering total control in the roughest conditions. The hangtime and lift offered by the kite is amazing, huge floaty jumps are delivered time and time again. This year the kite has a deeper profile, which allows it to drift a little more in the waves but also offers an improved low end. Sky Solbach, NKB surfboard shaper, uses the Rebel when he is testing in Maui and Western Australia and relies on its dependable handling characteristics in all conditions to allow him to concentrate on the boards under his feet.
The Rebel is the most popular kite on the market, it is stable, dependable and reliable with a huge wind range, offering unrivalled performance in a variety of situations.
