The HQ Symphony beach 1.3 does exactly what it says on the tin... well...package.It performs perfectly and neads little wind to lift off so theres no need to take it to the top of Everest.Also the parafoil design gives it a light but durable nature, you can crash it into just about anything and neather it nor the....thing.. will be damaged.It was clear as soon as I got it out of the box that it was of high quality and design and it looks great, they have incuded everything you need and its not complicated or fidely compared with my previouse frame kites, its also much more compact when put away.However, in hindsite I would have probibly gon for the 1.7, as the 1.3 is reely is for beginers.It is my third stunt kite and although it does give fenomenal power for its size I think I could get a greater thrill out of a larger one.so unless you are a complete beginer into the world of kiting, or just ....realy..realy small, I would recomend going for the 1.7 or higher, honestly, it will be worth the exra money.
