Sonic Bar Upgrade

Hi,

just wondering if someone can give me the low down on the Sonic Bar Upgrade, I've heard something from somewhere and notice there's mention in the ad. in this months Kitesurf; here's a few questions:-
I have an 11m, does it apply to the 11m or just the 14m?
I'm a beginner and wonder if the upgrade is that beneficial, should you set the kite before entering the water and so don't really need to adjust it again in the water?
Where can I get info. on the upgrade if it is applicable?
Is the upgrade available from the retailer or should it be purchased from the importer?

Any info. would be appreciated.

Thanks.

think the upgrade just makes it like an ols c kite so you lose the depower and safety, for you as a beginner it is no worth it. Set the depower on a light wind day so it doesn't fly backwards when fully sheeted in at 12 o clock then leave it, it should work pretty well. i haven't adjusted mine once for 10 months.
