HQ Hydra R2F
The HQ Hydra is different to most trainer kites in that it has a closed cell design. This means it remains inflated and is therefore able to relaunch on the water. This makes it the perfect tool for learning the first steps of kiteboarding like body dragging.
From HQ:
Crowded beaches and no space for kiting? Launch the Hydra and head off into the water! The Hydra is a unique trainer kite designed to re-launch in the water. The revolutionary closed-cell technology makes relaunching and landing on the water safe and easy. A one-way valve system and a watertight zipper effectively prevent water from entering the kite. The Hydra works equality well on land and generates enough power to pull you through the water during your first body drags. The 3rd line safety system quickly lands the kite if you ever feel overpowered, so you can focus on learning techniques and new experiences.

· reduced bridling for low drag performance
