Improved acceleration and control over the brake lines makes this kite - the ultimate choice among all-round power kites.
With its simple construction bridle construction and low aspect ratio, the HQ4 Alpha is an easy kite to control and comes complete and ready to fly!
If you have never flown a kite and want to fly one without the hassle of difficult control yet with the performance and controllability for buggying and landboarding at a later date - the HQ4 Alpha is perfect!
Consider developing your skills with a 1.5m HQ4 Alpha, or just go for it and make those first runs on a board or in a buggy with the power of the 2.5m or 3.5m. If it all gets too much, simply let go and the kite is brought back to the ground by the leashes and you are ready to catch your breath and then launch for more action!
The HQ4 Alpha can also be flown with a 4-Line Control bar which can be purchased as an extra accessory. The moulded bar ends help you to keep your leader lines safely away from your hands whilst in flight, and also act as line winders to keep your lines tangle-free when you pack up. The HQ 4-Line Control bar has it’s own integrated safety system, so even if you release the bar you remain attached to the kite by the safety leash.
The HQ4 Alpha is available in 1.5m, 2.5m and 3.5m sizes.
