The Peter Lynn “Swell” v2 – My take

February 5, 2016 CedFly

After a spectacular launch thanks to insane conditions during the shoot in Cabo Verde, I decided to produce a little video to try and highlight the attributes of this New Peter Lynn “Swell” v2 in all kinds of conditions.

From small to medium size waves with on-shore, Cross-shore type conditions which is, I guess the type of conditions we mostly encounter.

The kite has kept a lot of the characteristics of the Swell v1, Just seems to have a smoother flying and slightly more aggressive lift. Fast across the window it does everything you want it to do. Light and reactive at the bar with all the depower you need on waves, it also has some impressive boosting and looping chops!

Also been getting in tune with my AXIS wood pro board from AXIS Kiteboarding, super reactive and radical in the turns.

Thanks to Underwave for the support. Great wetsuits, great harness!

I’ve always been a fan of the “Swell” and it hasn’t changed.

Enjoy

1,2,3 summer is here

November 4, 2015 CedFly

Last few weeks have been a roller coaster.

After heading back from Italy, I managed to get a week of great conditions in Cannon Rocks. The place never ceases to surprise me with it’s awesome conditions. I managed to get good wave riding sessions with my Axis Wood pro waveÂ board, Turns out the board is fast and snappy. Loves ground swell type waves.

But no rest for the wicked, then came the Cannon Rocks Kiteboarding Classic. Which was an astounding success giving us 2 days of wind out of the 3 planned event days. You can find a full report hereÂ and a video of the event here

The day after the event, I packed up and headed to Cape Town for some work commitments and to catch “the odd kite session” (sarcastic). And suddenlly realised, summer is here. Yeah the water is still cold, but I have had some awesome session. I am dreading the onslaught of foreign kiters descending on the fairest cape, for now I am enjoying the familiar faces and the good sessions. Of courseÂ I know I always have home waiting.

Getting onto AXIS boards

August 5, 2015 CedFly

I am super stoked with my newÂ AXISÂ boards.
With my mixture of Wave and free ride style, AXIS positioned itself as the best option out there.

Having had a few session with the amazingly versatile “Limited” twin tip, I can already confirm my suspicion of a high quality product with great R&D behind it’s name.
