Tried the HQ Montana 3 9.5


Hi guys

I had the chance to try the Montana3 9.5 today for about 30 minutes in a 15+18 knots range on skis

First I was impressed to see the good quality material for that price. I think it is close to ozone. Same security, etc.

I liked the shaped where the wind tips are much smaller. Feel like the wind tips wont deflate when turning or losing power.

I just parked the kite, and cruised and I felt the power out of it. Didn't have to sin the kite at all.

I didn't test anything like security, strap, etc.

The kite turns well and flies fast enough when powered. The depower is correct (but less that a flysurfer).

Easy to fly and very powerful kite. I did not jump with it, but I felt it would lift when I moved the kite around 12.

I really was impressed by the quality (except for the chicken look finger) for a kite so inexpensive.

Very good kite for low budget.
A++

Buzz,

HQ recently stiffened the chicken finger on all the new MIIIs going out. It was significantly better than the original one that came with my 7m.

Buz,
Did you notice that you could park it overhead, let go of the bar and not even mind it long enough to grab a drink or rumage your pockets?
