Description
The Peter Lynn Escape 2013 is the allround
freeride / freestyle / wave kite with a medium Aspect Ratio
and
a 4
strut setup, for the best crossover between ease of use and
accessible performance.
The Peter Lynn Escape is hands down one of
the most comfortable and easy to use kites out there for
beginners
and intermediate
riders. Next to that, its exceptionally good performance
will also let expert riders get more out of their sessions
and progress fast, the Escape is that versatile! A balanced
mix of light weight and stronger materials has resulted in
a lower weight of the kite and adds to responsiveness
and overall control.
The Peter Lynn Escape is a kite that will
be most valued by riders who want to improve their skills
and progress. From wakestyle to ripping some waves and from
the first jumps to new school kiteloops. This is a truly outstanding
all-round kite that takes riders to the next level. The feedback
through the bar is so intuitive, the rider will feel assured
from the start.
Riding the Peter Lynn Escape in stronger winds,
the rider will feel in control and can take advantage of the
performance this kite has to offer. Big jumps and kiteloops
can be handled with ease. In the low wind range the kite is
very forgiving while already offering performance.
This is one of the benefits of Peter Lynn
designer excellence: lots of control, great bar feedback and
superb turning speed. On top of that you can add a magnificent
wind range. The Escape is the perfect kite for all dedicated
kiteboarders. Try it and you will be convinced.
Peter Lynn Escape
Main Features:
Supreme handling and
kite feedback:
The Peter Lynn Escape was built with the best handling and
kite feedback in mind and the decades of kite development
expertise at Peter Lynn delivered just that in this intermediate,
4 strut SLE kite. You will always know where you kite is within
the wind window, giving you the opportunity to make progress
and learn new skills faster and with full confidence. The
Escape will give you the control and performance, whatever
your level of riding!
Accessible power in
a wide windrange:
The Peter Lynn Escape power range is smooth
and forgiving, but it can be loaded up for a real boost
in
jumps and kiteloops. Kiteresponse is lively, control is unprecedented.
Peter Lynn’s focus on supreme handling materialized
in this kite, you will love its balance between performance
and control in all discplines, from freeride to freestyle,
wakestyle and waveriding. The handling capabilities of
the
Escape 2013 are available on a big windrange. The low end
is good, the high-end control is excellent, this kite
can
be enjoyed
in as many different wind conditions as is currently possible!
Small radius turning
circle:
The Escape has a small radius turning circle. Newcomers to
the sport benefit from this when needing to make adjustments
while starting or riding. More experienced riders can use
this feature to place the kite exactly at the best position
for power in freestyle and wakestyle moves or to depower and
take control riding waves. The experts will add to those capabilities
the Escape’s character in kiteloops, where you can take
control taking it easy throughout the loop or boosting it
full force.
Controllable lift
and boost:
Due to its supreme handling and kite feedback, the Peter
Lynn Escape will be a great kite for new-to-the-sport kiters
and
less experienced riders. It would be a mistake to place it
in that category though, as the performance of this kite
is
just too appealing to riders at all levels. The Escape offers
big yet controlable lift, it will take you up high…
and in control! The more experienced the rider, the bigger
you can go: there is hardly anything stopping you with this
kite. Boost throughout kiteloops can be controlled with amazing
precision! Do you want to stay in control on your first
kiteloops
or would you rather be pulled in a horizontal line across
the sky? The Escape 2013 delivers, you control it and feel
the
adrenaline.
Easy relaunch and
full depower:
The 4 strut profile and shape of the kite, combined with the
optimised bridle system give you the easiest relaunching kite
on the market. Whether you restart a lot while building experience,
need a fast restart to prevent the waves from eating your
gear or need to restart fast in a crowded or rocky area, all
levels of riding will appreciate the Escape’s easy relaunch.
The full depower and Navigator SL safety system make the kite
as safe as you may expect from modern kite design.
Versatile kite setup
possibilities:
All Peter Lynn Escape 2013 kites come with a wide array of
set-up options. On the kite itself, the rearline bar pressure
settings
can be used to optimize the kite’s control and feedback
to your preference. Besides the ‘onkite’ settings
all Escape kites are supplied with 3 metre extension lines
(21m default + 3m separate extension lines). With the line
length setting, windrange and performance can be set to
your
individual preference. The complete package offers the most
versatile solution to perform to the rider’s preference,
in the widest range of conditions.
Peter Lynn Escape
Main Features:
Medium Aspect Ratio:
The Escape has an intermediate Aspect Ratio to offer the best
of all worlds in a wide array of disciplines and rider levels.
From steering to lift, to restart and powerrange, the aspect
ratio is optimized for comfort and progression.
New designed profile:
The Escape has been developed from a ‘green field’
situation, as a completely new design. Incorporating the expertise
of decades of kite development at Peter Lynn, this profile
is tested, developed and proven sublime for its use.
4 strut SLE design:
Light weight meets a rigid frame for an optimized blend of
control and performance. The Escape has a Supported Leading
Edge (SLE) format, for its depower characteristics and huge
windrange benefits.
Tear resistant canopy:
The Escape was built with the highest quality materials. Tejin
Technoforce T9600 polyester is used for the canopy, combined
with Dimension Polyant Dacron reinforcements and wingtips.
Direct connection
struts:
The frame is very rigid due to the direct connection struts.
For durability the struts are reinforced with seam protection
to prevent tear.
Efficient and durable
lightweight tips:
Dacron use has been optimized for the best match between weight
and longevity. Due to ‘tailor made’ placement
and panel shaping, the Dacron ensures a long lifetime. Tailoring
the amount and placing of relatively heavy Dacron material
to the size and target use of the kite ensures low overall
weight of the kite, adding to responsiveness and overall control.
Single point inflation:
For fast inflation, the Peter Lynn has a proven single point
inflation system. Just pump the kite through the center inflation
point and it will be ready for use in no time. For durability
and wear protection the tubing and valves are protected with
a Neoprene cover.
Reinforced Leading
edge:
The frame, struts and leading edge are built with the most
durable Dacron. The Leading edge has been reinforced along
the complete stitch seam and the leading edge has Peter Lynn
EVA bumpers to protect it from damage whenever the kite crashes.
Making it one of the toughest frames on the market.
Trailing edge reinforcements:
For optimised durability and low weight, the trailing edge
has a double layer Technoforce construction with Bisonyl reinforcements
for maximal durability.
Kook-proof line connections
To prevent wrong attachment of the front and rear lines to
the kite.
Variable power setting
Backline connection points offer adjustments to change the
bar pressure to personal preference.
Extension lines:
To further define the kite’s characteristics to suit
your personal preference, the Escape (i.e. only complete kites
including bar) is supplied with 3 m extension lines. The longer
lines will give the kite a better low end, the shorter lines
make it a bit more snappy and aggressive. With the extension
lines you can set it up to your personal preference.
Various Setup Possibilities:
The Escape has adjustment possibility on the Backline
connection points to change the bar pressure to personal
preference.
This will adjust the overall depower,
depower behaviour, overall power and bar pressure.
Moving the larkshead down toward to the
trailing edge of the kite:
- Less direct depower, smoother power buildup
when sheeting in or out
More depower
- Less bar pressure
- Mostly used by riders for wave surfing,
freeriding, cruising
Moving the larkshead up toward the leading
edge of the kite:
- More direct depower, faster power buildup
when sheeting in or out
- More power
- More bar pressure
- Mostly used by riders for free- and wakestyle
Navigator SL Control
Bars:
The Naviator SL 45-55cm Control
bar will fit all size kites and comes complete with 21m lines
+ 3m line extensions.

Depower Control Bar
Peter
Lynn Navigator SL Control Bar and Lines:
Peter Lynn’s years of experience with the Twinskin control
bars materialised into the new LEI and Twinskin control bars:
the Navigator SL and Navigator TS. The Navigator has a unique
design combining safety and user friendliness. The complete
Navigator bar is designed to be as clean as possible without
making any compromise in safety, user comfort or the possibility
of tuning your bar to your personal liking. Whether your kiteboarding,
landboarding or snowkiting the Navigator is your safe connection
to a world of power.
Navigator
Control:
The new Navigator SL (Supported Leading edge) and Navigator
TS (Twinskin) bars give you optimal control and comfort. The
bar is tapered so also without looking at the bar, you can
feel where your hands are holding it. For your fingers, cushioning
is added. The EVA foam is comfortable and durable. The centerline
goes through an alloy centerhole, giving you good center grip,
low friction and good freedom to steer, power and depower.
It offers all you need to control the kitepower.
Navigator safety:
Safety is one of the most important things when kiteboarding.
Kites can generate power that is not always wanted and which
can sometimes even be dangerous. If the rider needs to loose
the power of the kite, it is important that this can be done
instantly and without much effort. Often there is no possibility
to unhook the depower loop, therefore a bar need to be fitted
with a proper safety release mechanism. The Centrix depowerloop
on the Navigator bar is a specially designed part that includes
a reliable safety release.
When it comes to safety, one should not depend
on one solution only. So besides the Centrix safety release,
the lines include safety handles. Simply grab the line handles
and you can release your kite flagging it on 1 line, nearly
fully depowered.
Navigator ease of
use:
The navigator bar and Centrix depowerloop combination offer
control, safety and great ease of use. The package includes
a completely tangle free swivel. No more tangled lines after
your rotations. Adjusting the (de)power of the kite is done
through a proven Clamcleat power adjuster that is placed above
the bar. The best place to adjust the depower lines to your
liking.
Navigator
safety leash:
The Navigator control system comes complete with safety leash,
for those wanting to ride unhooked. The safety leash is equipped
with a quick release might things go wrong, you can quickly
and easily release yourself. The leash can be connected directly
to the depowerline, or to the supplied ‘suicide connector’
In that case you connect the leash directly to the chicken
loop which should be considered by advanced and expert riders
only.
Navigator easy replacements:
The Navigator control bar has been designed using the most
durable materials. However, as with all bar systems, parts
do wear in the long term. Peter Lynn has a focus on making
any replacements for these parts as simple and quick as possible,
to help you keep your bar safe with optimal performance at
minimal costs.
Navigator bar sizes
and line length:
The Navigator is available in three packages, each offering
the best bar combination of bar size and corresponding length
of the supplied flying lines. Those riders wanting to use
just one bar for different sizes of kites, can thus find the
most suitable bar set. By making use of the extension flying
line set as well as the dual bar size endcaps, the bar can
be adjusted to fly better on smaller or larger kites.
Navigator SL and TS
As the Navigator SL and TS have different line-setups, make
sure you choose the right bar system. The Navigator SL is
setup for Supported Leading edge (LEI) kites, the Navigator
TS for Twinskins kites.
