Special made wave kite
Designers goals
BWS head Kite & Product designer - Dano See is a perfectionist and this shows in every detail of the Noise Pro. He has produced a wave riding Kite in a league of its own. Unmatched down the line Drift, 'Consistent Drive' custom wingtip design and new direct rear line steering enhances rider feedback but eliminates stalling in any part of the wind window especially on the up stroke.
With the light 3 strut design reducing weight, refined curve through the profile and a super short no tangle bridle configuration offering rock solid rider stability when you need it most while riding waves.
All this with a super smooth delivery and faster air speed so your riding your Surfboard with enhanced forward momentum.
The Noise Pro’s overall simplicity lets you focus on riding the wave not the kite which makes this the most versatile wave riding tool on the Surf/Kite market to date.

Those accustomed to the sick low end of the Noise Classic need to re-think and go up one size - as these kites are smaller/less powerful for their size. This is no problem as the pro 10 turns like the classic 8...

The best thing about the Noise Pro is that it delivers outstanding stability in the waves. The BWS team are intent on creating a kite that let’s you focus on riding the wave and not on the kite and it shows with the Noise Pro. The beefed up leading edge and struts help with stability in the air and the simple 3-strut design allows the kite to drift downwind really well.
What we don’t like:
If you are used to sizing your BWS kites smaller, you will need to readjust your scale as the Noise Pro runs true to size so an 8m really is an 8m. The regular 9mm inflate valve works a treat but the Noise Pro has a larger leading edge and struts than most other kites so it would be nice to see some kind of larger valve to speed up the pumping up process!
Why you want the Noise Pro:
Because you want unmatched performance for kitesurfing in the waves. Although the Noise Pro is branded a surf kite, don’t be mislead. This kite performs with the best kites out there in a wide range of conditions. The stability that makes this kite excel in the waves also makes it a killer option for riders looking for an all round kite.
