Globe Kiteboarding (GK) is rolling out new versions of the Trix and Sonic for 2011 that will show off new graphics and minor changes compared to the 2010 kites.
Everyone here at The Kiteboarder Magazine love to get out and ride and we get just as excited as you do when the new products come out.
We just got our hands on this quick video clip showing the 2011 GK kiteboarding quick release. It’s been made easier to put back together, which is what a lot of riders were asking for
Unhooked, the Trix performs very well and it never has the tendency to back-stall. In the waves, the Trix feels nimble and responsive, and has great downwind drift.
For the 2010 Vsonic, designer Mat Pendle almost totally eliminated the kite’s V shape. The new GKVDelta shape is more like a high aspect ratio delta.
The flying feeling and performance can be adjusted to react like the Trix 09, but can also be adjusted like a totally new kite with low bar pressure, very stable, perfect for cruising.
