Anyone who saw the last race, there was a pic in the latest kiteboarder that showed a guy riding a proto of the new 08 rhino-green/white with no markings. Anyone know who or how he got that here in the states???

colors are the same as what i saw but it was at the cabrinha races in the last, MAy issue of kiteboarder. The pic you have posted shows 6 struts, the rebel has 5. That pic also has a delta wing, more so than the blunt tipped rebel. Also has more of the stabilizer tabs like the rhino-thats not a rebel on the beach there. but that is almost exactly what i saw in the magazine. And being as though north doesnt even have one here in the states I bet Sky brought it from europe somewhere.

I thought he told me it was a Rebel or maybe I just assumed it. You are right about the strut count. If you look at the green and white kite next to a picture of an 08 Rhino you can see the fabric is cut in the same way. Does anybody remember a bridal on this kite?
