Does anybody have experience learning to kite Twin Tip with the Noise Pro ? My teenage girls are starting to do their first runs, having learnt with school Neos, and now I wonder if I can hand them my 6 and 8 Noise Pros or whether to invest in Neos for continuity.
We are about to go on a long kite holiday but I dont see them before to give them a try on them, so can only hope they will be OK. The kites are stable, with steady power, which is a good thing It seems to me. They will be only going back and forth, and some downwinders. and if they catch on and improve, I can look closer at their needs a bit later
Anybody see and problems ahead for me ? I would hate for these kites to put them off if they are inappropriate.
much appreciate any feedback.

I can't see any reason not to use them. I've had a couple of generations of Noise kites and I think the stability, medium turning speed and good depower makes them very easy to fly.
I'm sure others will have many more detailed and technical comments to make.
Congrats on getting your kids onto the water !

If they are the older 5 struts just make sure you pump them up hard so they don't fold over when they are crashed, otherwise that will be disheartening to the girls

Just run the girls through the safety on the BWS bar. There maybe some differences to the north bar
Maybe go through a self rescue practice on the beach with them. Good way of also checking the quality of the lessons too.

The school I did my lessons with used them. Awesome to learn on. Stable. Light bar pressure and real easy re launch. Tough as all hell too. Got a whole quiver now and love em.
