Hydra 2 300

Maintenance of your Hydra 2 300

Kites are exposed to salt, sand, and sun - a little extra care significantly extends their lifespan.

• Rinsing: Rinse the kite with fresh water after use in salt water, and let it dry completely before packing it away. Also rinse the lines and control bar to remove salt and sand.
• Drying: Hang the kite loosely or lay it flat in the shade until it is completely dry. Never use heat sources such as a radiator or hair dryer, and avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.
• Storage: Store the kite dry, clean, and loosely folded in its bag in a cool, dry place - preferably with a small sandbag to hold it down when you inflate it on the beach.
• General care: Avoid dragging the kite over sharp objects, regularly check the lines and knots for wear, and never leave the kite inflated unattended in strong winds.

What is the Hydra 2 300 for kitesurf training?

The Hydra 2 300 is a trainer kite designed to teach the basic techniques of kitesurfing, and it's unique because it can be relaunched directly on the water. This means you can practice body drags and kite control even when the beach is crowded.

Can the kite be used on land?

Yes, the Hydra works just as well on land as it does on the water. It generates enough power to pull you through the water during your first body drags.

How much wind is needed to fly the kite?

The kite is recommended for wind speeds from 4 to 10 m/s. This gives you a wide usable range for both light and slightly more demanding conditions.

What does closed cell technology mean in practice?

The closed-cell technology makes it safe and easy to relaunch and land the kite on the water. A one-way valve system and a waterproof zipper also prevent water from getting inside the kite.

What safety system does the kite have?

The kite has a 3-line safety system that quickly lands it if you feel overwhelmed. This lets you focus on learning techniques and having new experiences.

What is included in the delivery?

The kite comes complete and ready to fly (ready-to-fly) with three 20 m Dyneema lines with a 200 kg breaking strength, as well as a 50 cm control bar.

How should I care for the kite?

Rinse the kite, lines, and control bar with fresh water after use, especially after exposure to salt water, and let everything dry completely before packing it away. Store the kite in a cool, dry place and avoid prolonged direct sunlight.

From what age can you use the kite?

The manufacturer recommends the kite for ages 16 and up. It's therefore suitable for young people and adults who want to get started with kitesurfing or practice handling their kite.
