Manufacturers Description

Hydra - Trainer on the Water

Over 70 % of the earth`s surface is covered by water – now you can train on it.

HQ–Powerkites proudly introduces the Hydra, the world`s first and only water relaunchable trainer-foil.

Extremely stable and easy to fly, this closed cell ram–air foil has no bladders to inflate or replace, yet it floats on water.

A third line provides the safety system and the ability to reverse launch, making it perfect for use with absolute beginners.

The Hydra flies great in low winds and generates plenty of pull for bodydrags when
the wind is strong.

Kitemare Comments

We think the Hydra is Brilliant!

For people live near the water but have very limited nearby open land space. The Hydra open the opportunity to practice your kite skills without concern for crashing your trainer in the water.

In one word " Options!" The hydra gives you more option on where and how you fly.
On land, or in the water, on the beach, sitting in a raft or kayak, on a landboard, on a skimboard, or in a field.

Hydra = Versatility and Options.

Kite-Skimming
A super low cost alternative for kids and lighweights who want to ride with a skimboard in the shallows.

Stand-Up Paddle Kiting
Using a Stand-up Paddle Board ( SUP ). with their high floatation and easy glide,
even a small Hydra 350 can have you cruising in flat water.
for kiteboarding ( using a small board ), much more power would be needed.

Here is a video of SUP'er Ben Friberg on Vimeo using his Hydra 350 and
Stand-Up Paddle board.

We agree that the Hydra is an excellent kite, but the important thing is to select the trainer
that best for YOU and your situation. If you haven't already done so please read over our
Trainer Kites Overview page with to learn all about the various trainer kite options.

Hydra intro

On the Sand

Video: Below:

He's 64 lbs. and the Wind is light. About 5-7 mph

"Hey Jeff, back from Thailand. Used the Rush Hydra 350 once along w/ a kite boarding instructor. He was amazed with it. I had a lot of fun too and ended up taking a lesson w/ a 14.0 meter kite. :) Freezing in MI for now, but soon plan to fly the Hydra 350 a lot more this spring. Thanks so much for your help and advice!!"
