The BWS Noise is a revamp of the original SS Rev 1.
The Rev 1 has always been my No.1 pick of all kites Ive ever flown. Nothing to do with my selling of BWS now. Ive been saying that on the beach ever since the Rev 2 came out.
The only R&D mod BWS have done is to make it drift at the end of your lines instead of floating free and not being there for you when you want it.
Everything else is pretty much as per the original Rev. A great all round kite. Fast, really responsive, jumps huge etc etc.
Not as pussy easy as the new generation Deltas or as a a high performing Freestyle handle-passer 'C's BUT for anyone post beginner stage its as good for the all-rounder as any. The benefits of a 'surf' kite are benefits for most kite sessions.

And YES surface2air they do fly forward in the window. This is what made the Rev 1 a standout kite among the developing SLE's. Its also my biggest ask of my kites and its what the Rev 1 & the Noise do extremely well.
