Description

Because HQ work hand in hand with a team of national and international riders, the HQ Montana III has been designed for the demands of the market. The all new Montana 3 is HQ's depowerable kite designed for the rapidly growing freestyle kite boarding market.

 

It delivers performance and reliability, along with the value for which HQ is well known. It’s a kite ideal for boarding on both land and snow offering good versatility and performance in a range of conditions.

 

By using a much softer and water repellent fabric, air drag has been reduced and the performance increased significantly. A new more efficient profile and new shape have led to improved stability. Lift and hangtime meet the highest demands of Snowkiters and Kite Landboarders.

The new speed system in the bridle has increased depower and reduced backstall. Wake-style riders will love the unhooked performance. Whether you just want to cruise or stoke people with freestyle manoeuvres, the HQ Montana 3 (III) offers the potential to satisfy your expectations.

 

The HQ Montana 3 (III) also has a spinning bar leashless safety system, which is very easy to use in emergencies. After activating the safety release there is little pull on the kite recovery of the centre lines is straight-forward.

Great depowerable landboarding kite! Gemma Hopper

I have really enjoyed this kite - pull the bar in and up you go! It pulls a lot for its size and you can take the same size kite out in really strong wind conditions. The depower is easy to use and you can get up to some really good speeds on your landboard.
