Can I ask you guys a question?

Have you ever flown the noise kite for any length of time...especially this years model?

if not, why the negative comments?

If so, why the negative comments?

can we keep this section technical and educated or is that too much to ask?

Its too much to ask, as in our day and age people see it as their god given right to put out opinions (BS) without knowing the facts

mmm I'm not sure there is such a thing as the facts....

Just educated opinions that's all I ask. Has anyone actually flown the new noise and what do they think?

Peter what has the pump got anything to do with how the kite flies - although I do agree with you.

facts or your opinion of how it works ???????
i've tryed to give an opinion in the past only to be told it does'nt count !!!
ho hum.

Any demos in Vic?

Waveslaves name is Peter? Huh.....

There have been pretty much 3 main models with a few bridle tweeks along the way over the last 18 months. Alot of crew may have flown the original model when they were first released but there has been significant changes to the kite in terms of new bridle about 6 months ago and construction upgrades etc and a few other minor tweaks.
version 1- had benwilsonsurf written on leading edge and tips
version 2- had bridle upgrades and now changed and has BWS written on leading edge and tips( not benwilson surf) plus bag has a few extra badges so this is a sign of v2.
Version 3- which just was released today has new graphics on wing tips( different colours for different sizes), new scuff guards, new bridles. Kite has a slightly different cut to the canopy above the bar option for depower. logos on inside of canopy aswell as outside and comes with upgrade bag as standard. they arent even landed in oz yet until a few days time so seems weird theres a few opinions about a kite that the public havent even ridden yet!

How does it compare to the north rebel??

I used the kite for a couple of hours and didn't like it, what's you problem with that?

Where did u try it? Overseas?

Busted!

"The Noise kite is the #1 surf kite on the market today."

Can marketing start any worse than that?

... again, instead of technical details, we get the hype from a marketing guy/girl, who's, I suspect, never flown other kites, or perhaps no kites at all...

... I'd like to fly the kite, though...

That is one stupid comment.
So you didnt like it - it wasnt made for everyone out there.
If there was ONE kite out there that everyone thought suited them best there would only be ONE kite out there.

I too once thought the world revolved around ME..... then I got giddy an fell off.
Guess what we are all individuals .... (chorus) 'YES we are all individuals'.

The pump is sold as an add-on.
That sucks.
Pumps aren't an optional accessory, they're a necessary component.
The company just saved themselves $5 by not throwing in a pump with the deal.
Wow.
False economics.

You should try running a shop for a spell Slave.
You would be surprised how many ask "how much would that be if I didnt want the pump"
I'm serious - happens all the time.

And as for false economics? Im not so sure.
BWS were are the first to offer a flash backpack type bag as an optional extra when every other kite company makes it a compulsory add-on to the price you pay. (no they dont give them to you for free )
I ordered 3 of the optional haversack packs in my first order over a year ago. Guess what - Ive still got 1 in stock.
