Arghhhhhh!!! Totally bewildered! I was going to have a foray into the surf and thought about that kite and a surf board...
Can anyone explain the price differences between BWS 2012, 2013 and the NewPro for what many say are very similar kites... Cos I can't see any rationale; near new BWSs at $600...
I know the 2012 has under bar depower; and most prefer overbear...
The price range for excellent condition, near new or new 6 or 8m range from about $400 to $1200
There seems a few end of season offers, but I just don't get it! Do they have such a poor resale value that people who make sales discount heavily?
I could be missing something compared with my relative knowledge of other brands...
What is it reasonable to pay for a good quality BWS with life in?
Thanks peeps

Check our online auction &/or 2nd hand Clearance gear.
BWS Noise kites going out at prices that would make anyone ask why.
Mike from Busso just picked up his "used once" 6M 2013 BWS for $375 from our "Storm Kite Auction"
That particular Auction is Closed - but new ones are starting up regularly.
The thing is if you dont clear it it just gets older.

While I like my older BWS kites, lots of people don't. The new noise pro is getting lots of good reviews, so I would imagine it would be hard to sell an older style for very much, because every one wants the new style. That being said, I think the older style makes a fine surf kite, especially if you're just getting into it, and I don't see any reason not to take advantage of those great prices.
