I'm thinking of buying a 2013 North Rebel what is this like compared to the older type Rebels? I have a 11m 2011 Rebel which is good but want more grunt.

Sorry meant Noth Vegas 2013 is this any better than the Rebel?

any better? Depends...on about 30 different factors!! Well less but you get my drift.

eppo may be able to have a little input on the North Rebel

If you need to ask that question; for you, the Rebel would be better.

Reasonable answer above...

Please explain? What do u mean?

I think they mean that if you have to ask which kite is "better", it means you don't understand that kites are generally not better than any other kite overall - that they are tailored towards different uses, and one man's "better" kite is not going to be another man's "better" kite. From this, they gathered that you are relatively new to the sport, hence recommending you the Rebel, which is more of a beginners' "better" kite.

Ah ok cheers for that, well I'm not new to the sport just been using the same kite for the past few seasons.

The rebel is an all rounder kite, good at everything, but not specialized in any area, whereas the Vegas is targeted at the wakeboard style kiting. So if you like doing spazzo dingly dangliies then the Vegas is probably the go.

I disagree.. The rebel is the perfect spazzo dingly dangles kite. Well, that's all I see from rebel owners anyways.

You'll rarely see a wake style rat dangling. Unless they are mocking rebel riders

Give us your weight, board,s, wind speeds and condition, riding style and what is your intended areas of improvement, then one can comment.

Maybe we have been a little unhelpful... Give us those criteria and I can give you my two bobs worth mate. Saying that get info from as many sources as you can.
