Rick,
I just purchased a 14 meter GK Sonic from Extreme Kites.

I finally took it out yesterday and I was amazed on how simple a bow kite will just float you. Once your airborne and ready to come down you slowly raise the bar up and you will descend smoothly. I was able to ride from 12 - 20 mph with one kite. That to me is a big savings in the pocket and I am looking at having just a 2 kite quiver.
