Is it feasible to think that you could kite using a hydra 3 on a larger surfboard or skimboard relatively easily, or does the hydra still not have
enough umph except in higher winds?

you will have plenty of umf in 30+ mph to skim ... trust me lol

nothing like umph for fun and education

What about in 15-20mph winds. 30 may be pushing it.

If you had a SUP you could go out with the Hydra 3m. Not sure how good you'd be able to go upwind, but otherwise it would be do-able. Of course it
all depends on how much you weigh. I had a buddy whose wife weighed 90 lbs and her go to kite was a 3m so it's largely dependent on how much you
weigh.

Getting moving is very doable . Getting upwind is another story. Even with ideal wind and weight I am not sure the Hydra would be much good at upwind.
Accept that you won't get upwind and enjoy the ride ! You will still learn tons !
