podenbeck Posted February 6, 2017 Report Share Posted February 6, 2017 I am thinking about getting a one quiver power kite for snow and water. Any recommendations? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riffclown Posted February 6, 2017 Report Share Posted February 6, 2017 That's a tall order. No one kite will do it all. HQ Kites Matrixx comes to mind as a good start since it is a great Depower Water kite. Size though will vary based on conditions and your weight/skill level. Lots of water kites will make great snow kites. The reverse isn't necessarily true. You need a closed baffle or LEI (leading edge inflatable) kite for water. Otherwise the kite will fill with water in the event of a water landing. The risk with a closed baffle system on land is increased possibility of blowing a baffle or the kite itself in a hard landing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
podenbeck Posted February 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2017 Yes it is a tall order. Just starting to think about it. I have kite skied behind a trainer kite and a mid sized foil and had a lot of fun. I was thinking it might be interesting to think about water potential.Sent from my SM-N920V using KiteLife mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
