Kiteboarding started to take shape around 1996/1997 and has made a big progression since. From the first two line inflatable kites to the current collection of 2-line, 4-line and bridled kites. From C-Shape to Bowkites. Development over the years has been strong and Peter Lynn has been part of it all. Peter Lynn was already kitesurfing way before the introduction of the inflatable kite, successfully going upwind and jumping with his revolutionary C-Quad… but that did not have a big impact in the early kitesurfing market. The inflatable did and being experts in kites, the Peter Lynn brand went its own way as it has always done; for instance with the successful ARC kite. That brought great victories and many great products that shook and took the world by storm.
For kiteboarding, the PeterLynn brand went is own way again! The Twinskins have been there from the beginning of the sport and have been renowned for their controllable qualities. Nothing handles gusts as well as a Twinskin. The Charger is the only kite on the market that ‘auto zenith’s’ to give the rider the reassurance he needs to be in control more than with any other kite on the market. The Twinskins have grown a passionate following. Not the huge mainstream audience the tube kite has received, but still a big following of open-minded connoisseurs that jumps, loops and races it for what it’s worth and that’s a whole lot! Go check it out!
Pick up kiteboarding with a trainer
You are new to kiting? New to kiteboarding? Can’t wait to learn? Get yourself the Impulse TR – the Kitesurf Trainer kite – right away! It will speed up your learning curve, like nothing else. Steer the kite with a bar just like the real thing, get the feel for the wind, experience the power zone and get to know kiting as it’s meant to be. And keep yourself from expensive repairs on tube- or foil kites by preparing for those big kiteboard specific kites with a much more rookie-friendly Trainer kite.
And hold onto it when you are ready for the big powerhouses. It will come in handy when one of your friends or family wants to learn that sport you are so passionate about. You will have the right tool for them to start with.

Are these kites you recommend for practicing kitesurfing ?
From what years are they ?
Are they equiped with depower ?
Thanks in advance for your help
Hi,
Thanks for posting.
Out of the kites you mention the Vortex is the only kitesurfing kite (with depower), and a perfect kite to learn kiteboarding with.
The Vortex is out of 2006/07, the (original) Pepper 2005/06 and the (original) Viper 2006/07
