G'day. I usually post on the standup paddle site but was directed here. I have been looking for a kite big enough to tow a 10'5" standup paddle board. I have looked at the Hydra H2O 3.5 metre and wonder if anyone has been using a simillar size with their buggy? Is it big enough to tow with? Thanks. I have a 9 metre bow kite but have had a few bad experiences. Would prefer to spend more time with a smaller kite first.

foil kites and water dont mix ..... they become anchors...
a small inflato would be more suited.

We have used and sold Hydras for pulling SUP's before and they work well. Not as easy as it look though.

Small foils work ok when used on very short lines, even just the leader lines. We have a ton of stuff that would be suitable.
Small inflato would be better though, again on really short lines.

Like what?? Last time I looked the Hydra was the only small water re-launchable foil on the market and Briskites is the only stockist in OZ.
