Tech Talk - Behind the design of the Rebel SLS 2026
With Sky and Patri
When it comes to big air, few kites have the reputation of the Rebel SLS. Known for its legendary hangtime and ease of sending riders skyward, the Rebel SLS has become a go-to choice for anyone chasing height and progression. Lead designer Sky Solbach and his longtime Maui-based test rider Patri McLaughlin sit down to talk us through how the kite has evolved, what changes riders will feel on the water, and why the Rebel SLS continues to set the standard for big air kiteboarding.
