Peter Lynn


Venon - details coming soon

13.0m2 & 19.0m2 now available


Bomba


As the Bomba can hold smooth power and pivots on the tip in the turns, this makes it a superb kite for the waves and wakestyle riders. This new design makes unhooked moves possible. Amazing pop from simply loading the rail will suit low level and technical maneuvers. The slightly increased profile thickness improves water relaunch and makes the kite stable and forgiving, perfect for beginners. The great amount of depower alows these riders to get going in gusty conditions.
The Peter Lynn Bomba, a weapon with explosive power!

Flying characteristics

Fast water relaunch
The lower aspect ratio and deeper profiles combined with the new improved tip design drastically improve the water relaunch!

Easy to setup
No need to pump, the kite inflates itself! After kiteboarding the deflating zipper lets you pack up fast and easy.

Quick turning speed
The extra rear line webbing causes a faster turning kite. This better manoeverability is very good for waveriding.

Personal bar pressure

You can easily set the pressure on the bar. Choose from the two settings to get the kite response that you prefer.

Stability
Extremely stable like all the Peter Lynn Twinskin kites. The kite doesn't luff, proven to be ideal for learning the sport!

De-power
The Bomba now features more depower for more comfort on the water, especially in gusty conditions.

Available sizes:
8.5m2, 10.5m2, 13.0m2, 15.0m2, 17.0m2 & 20.0m2

Riding level:
Beginners to intermediate riders

 


Guerilla II (aka G2)


Ready to do extreme high jumps, technical transitions, crazy kiteloops and spectacular handlepasses? With the Guerilla II you will enjoy the combination of high performance and extreme comfort. The kite is excellent for huge jumps, technical tricks and extreme unhooked moves. It gives the rider the ability to get onto a new level of riding, while still keeping the stability and forgiving behaviour that you can expect from any Peter Lynn TwinSkin kite.

Flying characteristics

 Easy to setup
No need to pump, the kite inflates itself! After kiteboarding the deflating zipper lets you pack up fast and easily.

Quick turning speed

The extra rear line webbing creates a faster turning kite. This will give you a more extreme ride: kiteloops, fast transitions and nice wave runs.

Personal bar pressure
You can easily set the pressure on the bar. Choose from the two settings to get the kite response that you prefer.

Stability
Extremely stable like all Peter Lynn Twinskin kites. The kite doesn't luff, proven to be ideal when trying new tricks like board-offs and handlepasses.

Upwind performance
The Guerilla II has a great upwind performance. Get back to where you started, even after doing various jumps and transistions. In a competition, this means you will have more Œtime-in-the-box!¹

Lift
The Guerilla II has a great amount of lift, the kite pulls you up very smoothly, holds you up there, and slowly lets you sink back down onto the water. With the Guerilla II you can do insane jumps!

Available sizes:
9.0m2, 11.0m2, 13.0m2, 15.0m2m2, 18.0m2 & 22.0m2

Riding level:
Intermediate to advanced riders


Arc (aka S-ARC)

The ARC, the new form of traction kite developed for kit surfing and kite sailing but also for buggying, snowkiting  other power kiting activities. The basic form is of a double skin with ribs - a parafoil style kite without bridles, the flying lines being attached directly and only to the wing tips. The shape while flying is an arch hence the name Arc.

The arc is contructed with CHIKARA, a light weight, high tenacity ripstop nylon with a special water repellant coating. Inside the kite you will find low stretch Dyneema reinforcing lines and gauze vents in the tips of each profile to provide evenly distributed inflation. The tips are reinforced with exel-strong carbon fiber tubes in cordura sleeves

The Arc is a kite of the 'closed foil' type, with air entry by several soft fabric non-return valves along the leading edge. These valves prevent air escaping and resist water entry even when partially immersed
There are no internal bladders that require pre-inflation. Static windpressure is all that is requires to maintain full inflation.
When floating on water, the Arc has considerable volume (much greater than for single skin inflated tube kites), This will cause them to drift downwind faster than a floating person and keeps the kits lines under tension, a must for relaunching from deep water. Water relaunchability is possible in strong or light winds from any position in the wind-window. Trobule-free water-relaunch is further ensured by the fact that the Arc functions without any bridles. The flying lines connect directly to the kite, line tangles are virtually eliminated.
Arc's are always used in '4-line mode'. Power-up or De-power is by control of angle of attack of the complete foil, a much more efficent method than brake line control as with traditional foils. One size of the Arc is therfor useable in very wide windrange.
Control is possible by a straight standard kitesurfing bar.


G-Arc (Guerilla)

The Peter Lynn Guerilla is a high performance kite especially for the kiteboarder who wants to ride overpowered. The Guerilla consists of two layers of fabric with a set of profiles stitched in between. There are no bridle lines which cause drag - so on this kite the flying lines are attached directly to the tips. The two upright spars in the tips keep the kite in shape and produce responsive and accuarate steering.

The Twin Skin technology creates a cleaner aerodynamic shape. The Airflow around the wing is cleaner which allows the kite to generate more power, lift and float. The large number of cells in the wing allow the designers to give individual parts of the kite particular flying characteristics; e.g having the centre of the kite producing more lift, while having the wing tips improving stability.

Many observers say that upwind performance is now clearly superior to everything - if you are competing, this gives you much more time in the competition zone, - less time struggling upwind.
