@Michelle, thanks for your valuable input here.

Brendon asked me to answer you since I used to be a Peter Lynn team rider for kitesurfing. I flew the charger and really enjoyed it since I prefer C kites. I wouldn’t recomend it for beginners though as it is very fast and best for advanced riders. I’d say get an older model Peter Lynn like the Synergy as they are great for all riders and work for landboarding and kitesurfing. What size are you thinking of getting? Let me know if you have any more questions – I have had a lot of experience with PLs and am now flying Ozone.

Hope this helps,
Michelle

To be honest, I am not familiar with the Peter Lynn kites to that extent, however I will do my best to get someone who is, to advise you.

Please bear with us while we find the right person to answer your question.

Thanks.

We are delighted to hear you found the article helpful in your search for the right kiteboarding gear. Thank you for taking the time to let us know, and for your support.

If we can be of any assistance, just let us know.

PS: Come back and tell us how you are getting along on your gear buying mission, and your first steps towards learning to kitesurf.

I’m new to kiteboarding. I dont even have my own gear yet and started surfing the web a couple of days ago on how to choose the right gear. Its incredibly confusing. Thus far, this article gave me the best clues so far in the kite-buying “jungle” for me.

Thanks.

fully agree with you on both points, the reason I didn’t mention the trailing edge is that I’d have felt compelled to get into the whole, hybrid kite convex trailing edge vs bow kite concave argument which I feel over complicates things, I like the simplicity of your explanation though. The technical definition of a Delta kite is complicated, your method makes it much easier to visualise.

Very true about the features of Delta kites now being packed into all kite types…thus the actual definitions between the types of kites become ever more blurry!!

And yes, Delta kites are great, especially for waves. They normally turn fast, have light bar pressure and very good wind range, but what I’ve found is that most modern kites pack those features into their kites without the kite necessarily looking like a delta.
