News about Peter Lynn Guerilla from http://www.anabatic.co.nz
Thursday 18th July.
4 days of great Kiteboarding over the last week have left me buzzing. Plus, to make epic kiteboarding even better I was lucky enough to be sent a prototype of the next generation of Kiteboarding kites from Peter Lynn to try out just before the wind arrived. So, there I was with a a totally new toy to go out and thrash around in the waves. Needless to say I have been totally amped ever since. I love my job!
The new kite is called The "Guerilla". This kite has the biggest wind range of any kite I have used to date. Its extremely fast turning. Develops a massive amount of energy for speed and jumps, and this kite really jumps! It is amazing how forgiving and easy to use this kite is, and how it also rivals top competition kites in terms of performance. I will have to write up a full review on this kite in the KiteTech page to explain all the features in full detail. Expect to see this new design out in time for the 2003 summer season.
Stepahn Cook (NZ) has just won his third competition this year and was riding this new Guerilla kite in the Dutch event. One of the other competitors in the event complained to the judges that Stephan had an unfair advantage over the inflatable kite riders. Talk about a sore loser! Aparently the performance of the Guerilla allowed him to spend far more time performing his advanced freestyle tricks in the comp zone than the other inflatable riders. These guys lost more ground down wind with each trick and took longer to tack back up wind. I guess if you want to take competitions seriously over the next year this could be a big advantage for you and something to seriously consider. For Peter Lynn this latest win is great news, especially considering the Guerilla is intended for sale as a kite suitable for all levels of rider. I will let you know when they have finialised the design for 2003.
