I've used the original 9m Neo DLAB a couple seasons now. Someone was asking about it and I said I thought it handled gusts a little better, which seemed counter-intuitive since it is a stiffer air frame. I'm not super experienced, but kiting in the Gorge exposes you to a fair amount of "punchy" conditions. I'm glad to hear the designer confirming this perception.

The Rebel D-lab looks great! Nice to see all the Aluula. Thanks to Ocean Rodeo for bringing it to their kites, and pushing the industry forward! The really sad part, is OR is no longer in business, and therefore not doing the same thing with their Aeris canopy material like they showcased in their wings and that one demo kite last year. If they were still in business, they would push the industry to the new, stronger, lighter, and fully recyclable material. Kinda disappointed by that. No other manufacturer is using it.

I hear you. I am a huge OR fan as well. Checkout the Airush Lift Team kite. This is the only kite to my knowledge using the new Aires material. Fingers crossed we will see more kites with it in the future!
