The GK Trix is an awesome kite for unhooking. I can easily ride around unhooked and send the kite the other way for a one-handed carve with no issues. Also, in waves the kite has unreal "drift". SO stable.
Last year I was doing a downwinder from Cape Lookout, NC and was powered on the 15m Trix. I could acually park the kite and ride downwind with the kite flying backwards! I ended up being too much for the 15 so I switched to the 9m and was fine.
Oh yeah, whenever I eat it unhooked the kite is ready to relaunch at the edge of the window by the time I get my head out of the water.
