Peter Lynn Swell 2014 Kite Review

Kite Features

The new Peter Lynn Swell is designed to cover all your kiting needs. It is an all terrain kite that excels at multiple disciplines. It can be used on land, snow and water with confidence. When it comes to kitesurfing, the Swell is a super efficient freestyle, wakestyle, freeride and waveriding machine. It covers a huge wind range and can accommodate expert, intermediate and even casual riders. It is one of the best balanced all-round kites today.

As the guys at Peter Lynn say, the Swell brings wakestyle, freeride, wave & surf closer together than ever. It is the kite that blends the pop, direct control and power of freestyle kites with the ease of use, smooth drift and stability of freeride and wave ones. The Peter Lynn Swell features a three strut frame that makes it very steady and keeps it crisp in the air.

The medium aspect ratio assures a smooth power delivery, as well as accurate and easy control, plus excellent depower and relaunch. The bar pressure can be tuned to suit your particular style. On the high bar pressure setting, the kite is very responsive and sharp turning and delivers quick power for unhooked tricks and on the lower bar pressure setting it has a higher depower and feels more relaxed in the air.

So, you can ride hard and charge waves or perform crazy unhooked tricks, or you can enjoy a comfortable cruise and boost big, floaty airs. A great thing about the Swell is that it can be easily controlled even when it is fully depowered. The struts connect directly to the leading edge to create a rigid and strong canopy. The canopy is built using Tejin Technoforce T9600 Polyester sail plus Dimension Polyant Dacron reinforcements.
