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 delivers, you control it and feel the adrenaline.
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.
All Peter Lynn Escape 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 meter 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.
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 settings
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.
