You've probably heard a lot about the "bow-style" or
"flat" kites. They are going to be the wave of the future
for sure. They offer the ultimate in wind-range and safety. Other
brands all use the same patented bridle that you may have already
seen. The SONIC is different and uses a different
patented bridle that is much simpler and has only 2 pulleys instead
of 6 and a very simple uncluttered bar.
The wind range of the 11m has been tested to be 10-30 knots. The
safety of this kite is amazing. It will save lives.
Ultra Responsive - the back kite lines are connected
directly to the bar for smooth, fast turning
Low Bar Pressure -hold it with 2 fingers for hours...less
pressure than standard kites
Simple Bar Design - less cluttered than any other
bar - no pulleys (see bar page and slide show)
Effortless Relaunch - just watch the video footage
below to see how easy it is
Simple Bridal - no tangling when it rolls in the
surf
Power - the 11m has the power of a traditional
8-16m kite, the 14m is like a 12-20m kite

Check out our Globe Kite slide

letting go of the bar.
GK Sonic Video
In this GK
Sonic Video, Matt is shown testing his GK Sonic in Sydney and
Melbourne, trying to crash it so it could not re-launch. It just
popped up and auto re-launched every time. No reverse launch needed.
No swimming to the kite to roll it over onto it's back. (and this
was the 11m in 10-12 knots). This kite is Awesome. For even
more video on the ease of use of the GK Sonic.
