Product Description
HQ4 Hydra 300
The Hydra is a Water Relaunch-able Trainer Kite and is an excellent kite for getting out into the water and learning good kite flying skills. The 300 is the smallest of this model and offers a nice balance of power and performance for lighter adult pilots.
Medium Power / True Size: 2.6 Square Meters / Suggested Wind Range: 6 mph to 20 mph
Comes Complete and Ready to Fly!
The Hydra can be used for learning kite flying skills on land, water, and snow . This kite offers a wide range of wind conditions and generates a medium to strong pull.
Learning to fly a kite in the water as well as on land has some great benefits. Learning to control your kite while being dragged through the water is a much different experience than just flying your kite on land.
The HQ Hydra is;
- Its closed cell ram–air foil has no bladders to inflate or replace, yet it floats on water.
- Kite is water relaunchable.
- The kite is extremely stable and easy to fly.
- A third line provides a safety system and the ability to reverse launch the kite, which is valuable for beginning kiteboarders, making it the perfect kite choice for beginners.
Kite Uses:
The Hydra 300 is good for learning kite flying skills on both land and water. The 300 is good for flying in a wide range of wind conditions and generates enough power for:
- water body-dragging exercises
- SUP-Kiting
- Snowkiting for lighter riders on a hard packed snow.
- Great with a off-road skateboard on firm sand, grass, or pavement
The Hydra 300 is a great size kite for:
- lighter weight kiters
- families with teens
- heavier riders or stronger winds
- those who may not want as much power
- In winds ranging from 6 mph to 10 mph, the kite produces a light to medium pull.
- In wind ranges from 10 mph to 15 mph, the kite will produce medium to a strong pull.
- In winds above 15 mph, the kite's power really begins to multiply with a strong pull.

Great kite. Easy to fly. Not a lot of power.
Posted by Rick W on Thursday, August 23, 2018
I've flown the kite a few times now, and am very pleased and impressed. It inflates easily, takes to the sky quickly, and relaunches very well -- at least from the ground. I haven't had it in water yet.
I'm in Michigan where summer wind conditions are not great for power kiting. I was able to fly it on the shores of Lake Michigan with a strong shore breeze, and it was a ton of fun, however, the kite didn't generate a lot of power. I'm not sure I'll be able to practice the water start technique shown in the DVD unless I get some strong winds. I'd upgrade to the 350 if I had it to do over.
Unfortunately I was not able to measure the wind speed because the promised wind meter was not included in the shipment. -

High quality kite, shipping was on time. Good kite to learn flying with smaller family members in light wind.
