The Peter Lynn “Swell” v2 – My take

G0236971EAfter 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

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 wave 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 here 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 course I know I always have home waiting.

Super stoked with joining the Underwave team.

Underwave are just a “COOL” Brand who make high quality accessories for kiting and wetsuits. Just have a look at their design!

Loving the Sultan Wetsuit in the cold Cape Town waters and the shorty for Cannon Rocks.

Due to my Rib injury, I use two harnesses both the Sultan waist and Atlantis Seat. The Sultan Waist is mostly for wave riding and the Atlantis Seat for boosting big.
