HQ Symphony Beach III 2.2 Stunt Kite, Aqua, Dual Line Foil Sport Kite

This is great fun. I've only taken it out one time so far, but first impressions are very good. Flew it in 10-13mph winds and it was a blast. Its fast and powerful feeling in that wind....i cant imagine how much more it pulls in 20-25mph....but intend to find out at some point! its well worth the $50 for the amount of fun this thing delivers...i know two of us enjoyed it out in the wind until we got tired (it is a physical activity fighting the wind...but thats part of the fun!).....and cant wait to go again. Just to be clear though....i am a total newbie to kite flying ...and we figured it out on our own...just the directions, some web research, and hooked up the kite and was good to go. crashed it a couple times...no biggie since there is no frame to break,,,,just had to walk and straighten it out. But we were soon up and flying figure 8's. controlling the kite seems intuitive with the two lines....its just getting used to the speed and responsiveness and how and when to pull on the lines...all while having a fair amount of pull on you when the gusts kick up! good times. highly recommend. Will update if anything changes with further use....but kite seems well made (HQ is a legit kite company with a good reputation...not a cheapo knockoff) and flies great out of the bag. It might have a little too much pull for younger kids but they have smaller ones (for even cheaper) that would work good I imagine. I know this is an entry level kite and there are many more elite parafoils and kites out there...but bang for the buck in regards to fun i think any would be hard pressed to beat this.

Kite is simply great. Loves riding right up to zenith and hovering until you give it an input. Very stable and predictable under control input. Love the hiss it makes as it cuts through the wind. The video is in about 8-10 mph wind. Can't wait to do the 4 line modification...

Oh yeah! For the money this is an excellent and fun kite for beginner and intermediate flyers. Material is kinda thin, so keep it away from thorns, etc. I flew this kite on the beach all day when I accidentally flew it into a static kite line, which tore a big gash into the kite. Definitely my own fault, but that just tells me this kite is a little more delicate than I expected. Either way, you will no doubt have fun with this kite. Packs easily into any small bag or suitcase and it comes with excellent quality kite lines. You can fly it straight out of the package.

This kite has been a lot of fun. It has survived some good crashes without issue, and it flies well. I have an HQ beach 1.3 (the small one), this 2.2, a Prism Tantrum 250, and a Peter Lynn 5m. This is much faster than the tantrum, and is easier to fly in medium wind. The tantrum pulls harder, pulls more consistently, and will fly in a larger wind range (with some skill). This kite is a great addition. It's fun/easy to learn with. It will pull you around but not like a power kite.

HQ Symphony Beach III 2.2 First of all, I assumed I was buying 2.2 square meter kite. When I received it, I could see it was much smaller than 2.2 sq. meters. The specifications list it as 220cm by 73cm, that calculates out to 1.6 sq. meters (and it would be 1.6 sq meters if the kite were rectangular, but since it's rounded, it's more like 1.4 or 1.5 square meters). So I didn't get what I was expecting. Other than being smaller than I expected, I really like this kite and have had loads of fun with it. It flies well in lighter winds and has some pull in heaver winds. It's great beginners kite for teens and is good for adults too. It's easy to fly and loads of fun. I weigh 180 and it pulls me around in high winds. It has had many hard crashes and still no signs of wear. My grandson weighs around 100 lbs and he really gets a workout. It's well made and come with 80ft 220lbs Dyneema lines, that makes this kite is a great value.

I've had my eye on a similar 2.2 from another brand for quite a while but opted to go with this one. We happened to have some good (but gusty) 10+ mph winds today locally, so we gave it a try. This is our first foil kite, and first two-line. I didn't get to play with it much, since my 9-year-old and 11-year-old were having a blast with it. It took a little getting used to, but they finally figured out control and wind envelope, and they loved it! The few minutes I had on it were thrilling, and the pull from this thing surprised me. It was enough to cause the kids to struggle to stay in one spot, which they thought was awesome. We all had an absolute blast. Quality seems surprisingly good, and it's durable, having endured numerous full-speed dives into the grass. Zero complaints, wish I'd picked one up years ago!

I love this kite. Being a foil it's not as precise as a Delta stunt kite but it's fun in it's own right. I added a brake bridle to the bottom and made some quad handles and now it can stop mid air. Lots of fun, and it pulls hard enough to make me take a few steps when the wind picks up or gusts. Seems well made with no troubles yet.

This is my 5th power kite, first from this company. The rainbow colors paired with similar tails is an eye catcher. The kite is very responsive for its size, easy take off and quick maneuvers. Unfortunately the 3rd time, in flight one of the corner tail loops broke. I would not expect that to happen in such low or moderate wind conditions. I believe the bridals should be of better quality as well.

Fast and powerful, good quality, highly enjoyable.

Excellent product. First few flights beyond expectations. Very stable, steady pull, responsive and hangs well even in light winds. Workmanship and overall quality of product and accessories...excellent. Highly recommended.

Muy resistente, fácil de maniobrar…, bonita y estable.

ottimo aquilone acrobatico per imparare. L'ho comprato per insegnare ai miei figli (13 e 9 anni) la guida degli aquiloni acrobatici senza avere timore di romperlo. Non è un aquilone acrobatico preciso, è per principianti...... in spiaggia è perfetto anche con poco vento, anche se da il massimo di se (e soddisfazione) con un buon vento teso.

Purchased this kite as all the reviews pointed at being the best for the money I had, Very easy to set up and fly could do with another 20 ft of string but overall a great product not as strong at pulling as I was told but great to play with for hours of fun
