Has anyone flown a Noise kite yet? The "100 member team" with waitlist seems somewhat of a marketing ploy or even hype? Not sure. Pictures of kite seem to suggest an unusually high aspect ratio for a wave kite? Anyone have close up pictures of bar?

What a marketing ploy. If the kite is as good as they say, give FREE demos like every other company does. Good kites sell themselves via word-of-mouth and forums such as these. I think Ben Wilson is one of the best wave riders, however, I think it was kinda cheesey using his name only and his campaign of "be the first test(not team) riders of the new Noise kite" to pimp his first 100 kites. Just put the kites in the hands of as many riders and get their feedback. Hope they are as good as their own hype suggests.

You forgot to write what brand you are talking about
But I can see it is a Ben Wilson kite
Any links to the pictures you talk about ?
I can only see the website pdf, which is not an unusual high AR kite

I see he's putting out some videos recently of him on a 6M noise...black kite with some white graphics.
Bring one to FLA Ben! Wanna try!

Here are a couple of clips shot in the last week - you can see the kite in some of the shots
