Peter Lynn Impulse
(Released Fall 2007)
You want to get into
some serious kiteboarding, landboarding or
snowkiting action, so let's get your kite flying
skills sorted quickly. With kite powered board
sports, you need to control your kite and board at
the same time. The easiest way to learn these sports
is to get your kite flying skills sorted first,
rather than jumping on the board straight away. You
need to get a feel of how the kite responds
throughout the whole wind window, where the kite
produces the most power or the least and how to
steer your kite when wanting to get onto the board.
The
Impulse is the perfect trainer kite for future kite
powered board sport riders, allowing easy control
with a control bar and a solid but not too
aggressive pull across the wind window.
Flying
Characteristics
Easy Handling
The Impulse steers easy and quick by means of a
control bar. The control bar allows riders to steer
the kite precise and easy and helps riders to get
used to the feel of a bar in their hands.
Docile Pull:
The Impulse has a good docile pull so you can get
some serious power out of the kite. Within your
first few sessions of flying your kite, having some
good pull from the kite allows you to get used to
kite power quickly. This way you will be ready to
take on the bigger kites. However you don't want to
go too big right from the start as this will keep
you from exploring the wind window and understanding
how kites fly and respond to your steering
movements.
Stability: New profile in the Venom gives the
kite greater lift without even having to be powered
up.
Constant Flying Speed: The Impulse has a
constant flying speed, so you won't get too many
surprises and remain in control at all times. Try
flying figures and loop your kite with full control
and feeling of what you are doing.

Easy Relaunch:
There will no doubt be several occasions where you
crash your kite. No worries, we all need some time
to learn how to fly a kite. The Impulse has been
designed to relaunch quickly and easily, so in no
time you can get the kite back into the air for more
fun and excitement!
