So I've decided on the Peter Lynn Lynx as my first depower kite. However, I'm not entirely sure what size to go for, either the 7m or 9m :3 I was just
wondering if someone could help me out? I weigh 56kg and wind speeds are usually around 15mph with gusts. Thanks

Whenever I fly my 7.3... I wish I had the 9...yes those winds...I'm 160#
Or the yarbos to go bigger

Alright thanks, so basically the 9m is probably the better choice?

I'm 160 (72kg) and my 7m Lynx is the current go-to kite at my local park - it's about having to size for the gusts rather than the base winds - and I
have a 9.5m Montana VI that's frequently too much.
I'm considering an 11m Lynx as a "session saver" (those really light wind days that I just have to fly) :wee:

Okay thanks, I'm thinking since the gusts are regularly very strong then the 7m would probably be a better choice.

Where are you / where do you fly?
Are there other kiters in your area? They could rob ably add some valuable info to your decision making.
With the cost of de-powers being higher than FB, you want to make sure you're making the "right" choice. Then again, like FB's, you're probably going
to wind up with more than one.

I live in the Cotswolds in England (South West), that I know of there aren't any other kiters? except my friends who only have fb.

There's Peter Lynn team member on the Board, Carl "carltb", that is a couple of hours north of you. It might be worth asking him for some input. I
love his videos... Here's his video with the 11m Lynx (he makes everything look so easy!): www.powerkiteforum.com/viewthread.php?tid=27877#pid267384

I didn't realise he was in the Uk! I'm subscribed to him on YouTube haha.
hiaguy - 1-9-2014 at 04:21 AM
Problem solved. I'm sure he'd be willing to comment on using the Lynx both on - and off - a board... :wee:
Fly safe,
Howard

Thank you :-)
hiaguy - 20-9-2014 at 05:27 PM
Did you manage to contact Carl? Did you decide on a kite?
LeydenWarriors - 26-9-2014 at 10:13 AM
yes, thank you. I've gone for the 9m and so far I love it.
