Hi,
I'm new to kitesurfing and have wanted to learn for some years now. In 2009 I bought a new GK Sonic kite and bar, was told today that it's probably not the best kite to learn on, which I can understand with progression in technology. My question is. Is it worth keeping to use as I progress or am I better off selling it and starting again? If I was to sell it, what would be a reasonable price to ask for it.

I had one about then and it was excellent performance wise both kite and Bar but quality was not the best.

To sell its almost worthless, sorry to say.

I had a GK Sonic years ago and was my first bridled kite after 3 years on c kites. I can't see you having any issues with progressing on it. Apart from being a few years old, the fundamentals of kite tech havnt changed that much since 09 til now. I'd suggest getting on it and banging it around a bit before upgrading. You may as well get some use out of it, it'll be hard to get much for it if you sell it.

That WAS pretty remarkable Luke! I am still impressed you were able to do that. Now go and try that with your Sonic ;)

That's where you come into the equation Marco. The ozone kite did seem so easy to fly.
