Flying characteristics

 

Good Power and Wind Range
The good low end performance allows you to ride a smaller kite in a much lighter wind speeds without compromising the top end that Twinskin kites are renowned for!

 

Improved VPC Wingtip Trim
The new and improved VPC-system allows you to set the kite to your own preference in power build-up, depower range and feel on the bar while riding.

 

Responsive and Easy Control
The Peter Lynn Synergy turns quicker and smoother than any Twinskin you have flown before! The kite invites you to do kiteloops and go big!

 

Amazing Lift and Long Float
The special design of the profile gives you a fast flying kite with good lift for extremely high jumps. The long float ensures longer airtimes and offers you softer landings.

 

Medium Aspect Ratio
For increased performance without sacrificing stability across the whole wind range.

 

Original Concave LE Shape
Increasing the depower range and smooth overall wing shape.

 

Elliptical Tip Shape
For increased turning speed and less drag in the tip area.

 

Special Reinforcement Patches
On the tips as well as on the inside of the kite to ensure maximum durability and smooth skin shape.

 

New VPC (Variable Power Control) System
On the wingtips for increased wind range, easier control, personal feel on the bar and smooth power build-up.

 

Twinskin Technology
The Peter Lynn Synergy is a Peter Lynn Twinskin kite. The kite consists of two layers of fabric with a set of profiles in between. When the kite crashes on the water, the taped seams as well as the valves behind the air inlets prevent the air escaping from the kite as well as any water getting in, for a quick and easy re-launch.

 

Some of the great advantages of this style of kite are:

 

Very clean airflow around the wing, both the top skin and the bottom skin are shaped for maximum performance and lift. No bladders or tubes that can burst, the kite is more resistant to wear & tear.

Even weight distribution as the complete kite is made of the same material. This makes the kite incredibly stable. No heavy leading edge causing the kite to luff. Ideal for practicing new tricks.

Easy and cheap repairs as the material is all solid Chikara Ripstop Nylon.

 

Wingtip Dual inflation zippers: To inflate your kite with effortless input, for a safer and easier launch.

 

Launch Assistant Tag: Velcro tabs to ensure trouble-free self launching.

 

Water Relaunching: Because of the extreme stability, a twin-skin from Peter Lynn is unlikely to ever hit the water in the first place.

However if it does, the waterproof taped and reinforced seams and the incorporated silicon valve design behind the air intakes along the kite's leading edge trap the air inside the kite, and make it very hard for water to get in.

The large volume of air keeps the whole kite floating on top of the water, so there is nothing stopping the kite from taking off. With very little practice, water re-launching a Peter Lynn Twin-Skin is very simple, quick, and easy to do.

 

Many riders who are already flying Twin-Skin kites claim many months on the water without ever dropping it into the water, some even claim they have never had to do one.

 

Spend more time in the air and less time relaunching on the water. Get yourself a Peter Lynn Venom today and discover the new world of kite boarding all over again.

Reviews

A confidence inspiring kite for both new-comers and previous Twinskin users! Dan Eaton

 

Initial thoughts as soon as you get going on this kite is it feels like a Venom II - but it's only when you start turning and jumping the Synergy that you realise you have something different!

 

Launching / Landing > Following the instructional DVD, solo launch and landing this kite was no problem. Simply inflate, go to your control bar and tease the wingtip up. Really easy!

 

For landing, take the kite to the edge of the wind window and walk forward and watch the kite lie onto its back and behave itself! In stronger winds, an assisted launch / landing is always preferable.

 

Handling > For the initial testing - I connected the lines and control bar straight up to the VPC (Variable Power Control) system on the "factory setting". There are lots of options to alter bar pressure but straight out of the bag, this standard setting seemed to put me straight into my comfort zone and will give confidence into anyone who has flown Twinskin kites before.

 

One of the first things you are going to notice with the Peter Lynn Synergy Twinskin kite is the amount of grunt this kite produces in nearly no wind at all. This kite just pulls and pulls! Not only that but the Peter Lynn Synergy kite turns really quick and I was finding myself oversteering it on several occasions! Keep you hands in the middle of the bar on the Synergy unless you want to loop it!

As with all other Peter Lynn Twinskin style kites it doesn't want to overfly! No flying overhead, no luffing and no chance of a Hindenburg like some other kites do when the wind is light.

 

This kite just sits above you in the sky nice and well behaved allowing you to have a rest without having to land your kite and stake it out onto a wet beach.

 

Jumping > This is the one that surprised me the most! Good overall jumping but the surprise was the amount of hangtime.

 

There was no aggressives straight up or down with this kite - the Peter Lynn Synergy gives you the confidence to get airborne, judge your height and then perform your manoeuvre.

 

The VPC system really does depower the kite alot! Hold on for as long as you can, pull in the control bar and let the VPC system do its job! See how much boost you can get even in the low winds.

 

Build Quality > Improvements on the Peter Lynn Synergy include a foolproof inflate/deflate zippers enabling for quick setup and pack-down, personalised bar pressure can be obtained by adjusting the different VPC attachment points on the wingtips.

 

3-part wingtip lightwight alloy spars allow for a smaller kitebag rucksack allowing for easy transportation or alternatively if you wish to leave the spars assembled - the bag is improved and now comes with a zip-up section to enclose the kite.

 

There is also a steering adjuster inside the kite to personalise a more tighter/looser turn rate as well as lighter/heavier bar pressure. Launch assistant tags are also included for easy solo-launching.

 

Special reinforcement patches on the tips as well as on the inside of the kite also ensure maximum durability where it's most needed!

The introduction of a grab handle on the tips with integrated VPC bridle carrier will also make it much easier if you need to pack it down for a swim back to shore.

 

Overall > This is a confidence inspiring kite for both new-comers to the sport and previous Twinskin users. For those more experienced kitesurfers / landboarders who want a forgiving kite to fly but with the power ability and depower to possibly get away with just one kite for a majority of wind conditions - this is the one!

 

Is it time to upgrade from my beloved Venom II's? Why not? It flies like a Peter Lynn Venom II but with a whole lot more!
