Product Description

Hydra 350 – Train on the water!

IMPORTANT READ THIS FIRST! 300 or 350??

First, thanks for your interest in  and pre-order search for Harbor Wind & Kite Co. products. We are the official and only West Coast Test Center for HQ Kites.

Our Hydra 300 & 350 Kites are the most in-demand kites in the world today. So much so that our production facilities have not been able to keep up with the demand since last February, 2011. And, we have doubled our output. Our current output of 300's and 350's is barely ahead of our sales. If you want to be sure of your purchase, don't hesitate to place your order now!

To be clear, please know that the Hydra's are almost the same size, with the difference being that the 300 is designed for a body weight of up to 210 lbs. and the 350 for any one weighing over 210 lbs. Otherwise they are the same. The Hydra is the world's first and only water relaunchable trainer foil. Extremely stable and easy-to-fly, the closed cell ram-air foil has no bladders to inflate or replace, and yes, it does float on water. It has a 3rd line for maximum safety and a leash line for use as a "shock absorber." Without a doubt the best kite for surf training, body-dragging or buggying.

300 vs 350: The 300 has a wind range of 4 - 29 mph while the 350's range is 4 - 21 mph. In 16 mph winds, the pull for both is over 200 lbs. I am not sure of the prevailing winds where you are, but if they are in the 12 - 16 mph, either the 300 or the 350 would be a handful for any one weighing under 200 lbs. and perfect for any one 200 -220 lbs. If you are over 220 lbs., then you could handle the 350 in winds up to 18 - 21 mph but, more wind than that will have you air-borne if you can hang on.

Our policy regarding credit cards is that we do not charge a customer's card until the product ships. Please place an order for a 350 to be shipped now. Thanks again for your interest in HWK products.

  1. Best Trainer on the market

    Posted by HWK Instructor on 24th Oct 2010

    Hydra 350 Trainer by HQ. This is definitively a total power kite. It has enough pull to actually get smaller people up on large boards and go kite surfing with it. However, it is Not advisable that you do so. It is for Training and learning all your basic maneuvering.

    Warning: this Kite is not for the smaller person. It will over power you and drag you around the beach, uncontrollably. The point of training with a Kite like the Hydra is to train in "Winds, that are blowing 15 Mph or more and you the Pilot be in control." No one really kite surfs/boards in winds less than 15Mph winds.

    So the Hydra 350 is for Men and Women 200+ Lbs in my personal opinion! It will easily allow you to practice standing up like you’re coming up onto your Board. It will allow you to practice your water riding lines on the sand.

    The Hydra 350 easily allows you to even do small short intentional body drags. It will advance your knowledge as well in other essential tools that you will need to "SAFELY" kite surf/board, limiting the risks of injury to yourself!

    Once you have reached the water and your goal to become a Kite Boarding Extraordinaire, the Hydra 350 will have gotten you there as safely as possible
