dustin, definatly consider the north rebal. Refer to north rebal post for short review. More than happy for you to come down to goldie and test them. Cheers Paul.j 0418 722 928
I think the main consideration could be the bar. The Rebel is a 5 line kite which should offer more direct feedback than the pulley bars. The Link offers some versatility as it can be flown 5 line or SLE style. At this stage who knows though, as Kurt said try them out.
Your local shop should be able to help you out, otherwise we will have them both. (another couple of weeks before the Link arrives though)
