2005.Aug.10 Why you should ride Peter Lynn Products

This talks about

  • The Lynn Legacy

Why Peter Lynn Products (Twin Skin Kites, Buggies, KiteCats, KiteSleds)?
Why should you buy Peter Lynn Products? There are so many reasons. The simplest is to go out and try one from someone that knows how to use it.
Peter's passion began long ago. Trained as an engineer, attention to detail and committed to going beyond are some of the traits Peter has. Peter's background in kite flying is now part of history. Long before Kite surfing existed, long before land powered kiting (buggying and snow kiting) existed, Peter has been involved in kites. He realized that when Mother nature blows, things happen and it truly is magical.
Probably the father of the kite buggy, in the last year the market has seen the second and third trilogy of land, water & snow reached as the KiteCat and KiteSled have now been released. Is there a fourth? We'll have to wait and see. As well as successfully competing in the power kiting market, there's a whole other world of Giant Flow Forms - some of the worlds biggest in fact that Peter Lynn has been instrumental in achieving. As far as credentials and experience Peter, his team, and his network of contacts are well established in the industry.
What's so special about the products? Why haven't you seen more advertising or more riders in your area riding on them? The answer to these questions will likely evolve over time. Some of these answers may be business related. Let us face it advertising costs dollars. The dollar has to come from somewhere. How much more would you be willing to pay for an already great product just because it was easier to find? The products get known because of their excellent technology. They are proven product and with dollars spent on Research & Development, will continuously evolve. Their reputation is what sells. You'll likely find pockets of Peter Lynn riders scattered throughout the globe. It travels by word of mouth. We think that part of the reason you don't see a lot of publicity about some of the products is that the riders that own them are out having so much fun they don't want to spend their time doing anything else. And could you blame them. Think about it. The wind is blowing and you have two choices, spend money on advertising or go outside experience mother nature and have the time of your life. It's quite easy to understand.
Another fact that makes the Peter Lynn products special are the public support networks like ArcUsers and more recently KiteCat and KiteSled. These are groups of enthusiasts that like you want to go out and experience life to the fullest. These are people that are passionate about their sport and want to make it easier and better. These people are scattered throughout the globe and through the ease of the internet, share in the continued evolution of kiting as though they were next store neighbors. What you'll find in these groups is information obviously, but information that will help you be a better/safer rider. You'll find information that will help you modify your product and make it better. You'll be able to interact directly with some of the most passionate riders in the world. You'll get great tips and hints that will take you beyond what you thought you were buying.

That's why you should buy Peter Lynn. If you're still not convinced find someone that has one and go for a ride. It might just change your life!

Some words on the Peter Lynn Twin Skin Water Relaunchable Kites
Peter lists four properties than make Twin Skins the best all season all terrain power kites
Wind range and Gust: There are two adjustments that allow the rider to change the sheeting or angle of attack of the kite. Let's define the happy zone for a rider as the best angle of attack for a particular riders skills in particular riding conditions. By adjusting the depower strap the rider can set the max and min pitch for the conditions. Within this zone the rider is then able to make other adjustments while riding by pulling in and letting out with the bar to either increase or decrease the power. Both of these adjusts can be made while the rider is moving for big up wind angles or high powered down wind runs. The rider also has the added benefit to use this bar sheeting to ease the gust effects.
Upwind performance: The most recent design of the Twin Skins have a 50% better life/drag ration than pre-1999 kites which give them incredible upwind performance.
Luff resistance: Luffing is when a kite falls back in the wind window towards the ground. The Twin skins are naturally good at resisting luffing as they tend to want to fly forward.
Stability: Anyone familiar with flow forms will realize that some of the design stability of those kites has been built into the Twin Skins. What this translates to for the riders is that the kite generally want to fly where it's directed. The kites can be flown hands off. Much of the time the kites will even fly to the Zenith with a bit of assistance.
Ride safe and Experience The ElementsTM!
