Vortex (Released Dec 2005)
Feel the adrenaline rushing through your body while
you are speeding down a wave, a giant mass of water
moving towards the beach. After a quick turn up and
down, a big spray of water is what you see flying
off the lip, while you get ready for your next turn.
The Peter Lynn Vortex is the perfect fun kite! With
its very fast turning, you will have an excellent
ride in waves, but also a great time just cruising,
wake-style riding or freestyling. Kiteloops and new
school moves are a piece of cake. Entry level riders
will enjoy the ease in getting on the board with
this predictable kite, as well as the ease to
re-launch this kite after a crash on the water.
Flying characteristics
Sharp turning: The Vortex has a very
direct and sharp turn. This is great for cruising,
wave riding, wake-style and freestyle riding. It
really is an excellent kite for kitelooping! The new
steering adjusters in the tips give you the ability
to fine-tune the turning style as well as the feel
on the bar to your personal liking.
Constant Pull: The Vortex has a
constant pull, great when riding waves or doing
wake-style moves. Beginners will appreciate this
predictable behavior to help get back you on the
board quicky and easly.
Stability: The Vortex is extremely
stable like all Twinskin kites, making kite boarding
easy from entry-level through to advanced riding -
start concentrating on your riding, not having to
worry about your kite!
Fast water re-launch: Due to the lower
aspect ratio, the kite is very easy to re-launch
from the water. Spend more time riding and trying
new tricks, instead of trying to re-launch your
kite!
Lift: The Vortex has good lift for
easy freestyle moves. With the Vortex, you easily
get air and into some cool tricks and transitions.

Safety systems: The Vortex is supplied
with a bar with a special leash system, to ride safe
with maximum comfort.
Spinning your bar after doing a jump with a
rotation, the leash and depower line twist and so
will the top lines. With the optional spreader bar
with a rotating hook, riders can easily untwist
their leash from the depower line and untwist their
top lines. The bar supplied with the Vortex is
equipped with a primary quick release and a safety
leash with quick release.
When the safety system is activated, the Vortex
immediately loses all of its power and gently falls
down on the water.
Twin Skin Technology: The Vortex is a
Peter Lynn
Twin Skin kite.
