A bigger kite such as the HQ Apex III 7.5, whose flat area is 7.5 square meters and whose wingspan is over 5 meters, will require you to have more stamina and more strength in your upper body so that you will be able to control the kite. Consequently, it is recommended that beginners start with smaller kites such as the HQ Beamer IV 1.4, the HQ Beamer IV 2.0 or the HQ Beamer IV 3.0.
