2005.Jun.03 Rider Profiles - One of the youngest and upcoming wind riders in Canada This talks about Ontario Wind Rider Robert B., only 13 years old His story and why he likes Peter Lynn Kite Products At 13 year of age and just 90 pounds, Robert B. is one of Canada's youngest wind riders. He's been riding for two years since the winter 2003/2004 season. He's had two successful winter seasons and this is his first season on the water. Robert's favorite all around board is a Liquid Force 120. For lighter winds he prefers his homemade plywood finless. Robert prefers riding the Peter Lynn Twin Skin Guerilla-II because of it's stability. He says "he likes the stability because it allows me to focus on my board skills". Even in gusty conditions, Robert finds it no problem to stay up wind. After flying an LEI, he still prefers the Twin Skins. His favorite harness is a Peter Lynn seat harness with a Spinning Swivel Spreader. Robert can be seen riding regularly on his Peter Lynn Zero 4 bar on 20m lines with his father Steve in Keswick, Ontario at Kite Beach. Steve says "compared to other kites like the Contra, the Twin Skins are so easy to re-launch from the water." Ride safe and Experience The ElementsTM! Grant Fitz
