Kitesurf Schools use this kite for the start, so that you can develop a first feeling for such a fledgling.
Although this kite is found in Amazon part in the toy category: this kite is definitely not in Unattended children. With a wingspan of over 3 meters, it creates the Hydra with good wind also to lift an adult kite out of the water - not long, but it works. The lines hold of a towing capacity of almost 175 kg - as it should in my opinion already be clear that this "dragon" has no place in the children's playground.
The Hydra can be super ashore and flying on the beach or in the water. This is possible because only two air intake openings, which behave like valves. The air is indeed shoveled - but they can not (as fast) escape. This technique makes it possible to land the kite sometimes on the water surface and to start again from there.
Kite and Wage are very well made, everything is sewn clean, the linen and the Steering function make a very solid impression.
The Hydra can lift into the sky from two wind speeds, however, is not much fun and train at the bottom of it. To get used to the kite quite nice, but only after three to four winds come in the Hydra drive. At the latest from wind force five, the printed designation "power kite" in the supplied backpack beautiful then program: flight maneuvers by the power zone in the wind window and Durchloopen the kites are for an adult then hardly feasible without loss of space. Children would simply tear them - unless they leave the bar fast enough going on. In this case, then accesses the third line, with which you are connected to the wrist. It causes - when properly adjusted - the kite pressure falls immediately to the ground. This security system works very well and you can thus reassured grope his own limits.
Conclusion: For the money you get a very well-made trainer kite with which you can have a lot of fun on the meadow, on the beach or even in the water.
