Peter Lynn LEOPARD
So there is a new kite being released soon by peter lynn. The Lopard.
There is very little information about the Leopard, other then it'll be a new bridled depower kite.
(From the Peter Lynn website)
| Quote: | | In 2014 the range of bridled depower foil kites was extended and now includes the Leopard; a high performance, freestyle kite for advanced riders.
|
Sizes 7m, 9m, 11m, 13.5m ( source)
Possible closed cell since it is 5th line safety.
Anyone got any more details on this?

They've been working on it for a couple of years now. I haven't seen the prototypes, but before I left PL I did see a CAD picture and it looked very
high aspect.

Also in that list is the new LEI, "SWELL"...but no real wave riders here so i guess we won't hear about it much
Tide? What's a tide? Man, it's 1000 miles to any ocean.
