Born in 1946, Peter Lynn started flying kites at a young age. He began his career as an engineer, graduated BE Mech Hons in 1969 and began working full time in the kite field in 1971. He has been a leading innovator and a driving force in international kiting industry ever since.

Grandfather of power foils 1971-1988
From 1987 Peter and his team committed 100% of their time and energy to the development of traction kiting, with early efforts being towards kite sailing.

One of the first wings that carried the Peter Lynn name was the Peel. With a simple design this two line wing offered very good performance as well as stability and great handling. The Peel was launched in 1991 and is now referred to as the grandfather of power foils. Although handicapped by the kites of the time (the best performance back then was obtained with delta style sports kites), within a few months Peter and his team were successfully sailing all courses under kitepower; in winds from 10km/h to – on a celebrated occasion – over 100km/h. By 1988, they were successfully water skiing using kite power, had mastered kite ice skating and had even made various wobbling attempts at kiteboarding.
The Peel 1992 First depower foil kite
1994 Peter Lynn Kiteboarding became a Dutch brand
1997 First Hybrid kite
From the early 1990’s, the team at Peter Lynn had recognized that kiteboarding, would be the big prize. In 1997 the first hybrid kite was born; the C-Quad. The speed and performance of this power kite surprised kite flyers worldwide and it quickly became widely used in many kiting disciplines and showed to be perfectly suitable for kite buggying but also for kite sailing and even kiteboarding.
THE WORLD’S BEST KITEBOARDING KITE 1999 Peter Lynn Arc
Not just successfully, early indications were that Arc style kites could eventually become THE best performing kites for kiteboarding. Right from the start it was obvious that this Arc design, renamed to Twinskin design in 2003, had created a new field of its own, with its stability and auto zenith, no bridles to tangle and of course no bladders to puncture. Combined with its great performance and user friendliness this makes the Twinskin design ideal for all levels of riders looking to progress every time they’re out riding.

The Access Range 2006 Power kite range was born
In 2005 the Peter Lynn Pepper took the market for “beginner” foils by surprise and quickly established itself as the kite of choice for kite enthusiasts looking to get into traction kiting. The Pepper was easy to use, offered confidence inspiring stability and a lot of power at a very affordable price.
After this great success Peter Lynn started to develop a wide range of products for beginners and intermediate users who want to easily advance in their favorite sport. The Access range was born.
2007 Kite buggying Pro Range
In 2006 the first “pro level” kite was released, the Reactor. This excellent kite was aimed at buggy cruising and therefore very fast while remaining very stable and tolerant. This was the first kite designed according to the criteria of the most demanding riders; thus the Peter Lynn Pro range was born
Introducing the Peter Lynn Vapor 2009 Peter Lynn dominating the kitebuggy Championships
2009 proved to be a milestone year in the Peter Lynn history, with the introduction of the Vapor at the European kitebuggy Championships leaving nothing to the imagination. With the top 5 being Vapor pilots and a total of 7 Vapors in the top 10 Peter Lynn firmly cemented itself as the leading brand in high performance foilkite design. In the following years the Vapor continued to dominate the international buggy racing scene with numerous National titles, several European and World championship titles and setting the current worldwide kite buggy speed record of 134Km/h.

2011 Peter Lynn Tube kites
2011 marked a special year for Peter Lynn. With the release of two dedicated kiteboarding kites at the end of 2011, Peter Lynn entered the LEI/tube market. The Escape and Fury were the result of several years of development and showed the kiting industry that 40 years of experience really means something. Both the Escape and Fury were quickly recognized by kiteboarders worldwide as serious competitors in terms of build quality and flying characteristics.
2012 - 2014 Many Years of experience create stunning tube kites
By the end of 2012 the second generation of Escape and Fury was introduced, with both kites being further refined and tuned to suit the respective target riders even better; and they received a graphic overhaul as well. Furthermore, the LEI range was extended with the Fury Lite, dedicated to light wind and course racing. Early 2014 another LEI has been released: the Swell. This kite was designed for wave and wakestyle and has been reviewed by international magazines as nothing short of stellar.
The Uniq Series 2015 An unbreakable Performing Power Kite
The Uniq series saw the light halfway through 2015 and with that Peter Lynn has come full circle 18 years after the first single skin, the C-quad. We now again have a kite that will take powerkiting into a new direction.

Especially for outdoor activities the Uniq is a big win. Without cells that can blow out, the Uniq series is indestructible and amazingly performing

2019 PLKB: THIS IS IT
With new management and new riders on board, a new logo was needed to reflect the new energy in the company. Between 2018 and 2019, Peter Lynn kiteboarding entered an era of change, marked by the new logo. Before arriving at the final design, ideas were generated to try and find what fits best: keeping just ‘Peter Lynn’ wouldn’t reflect the totality of the brand, and only using ‘Lynn’ wouldn’t reflect its full history.

Naturally and effortlessly, they arrived at the conclusion that Peter Lynn Kiteboarding will from now on be known as their acronym: PLKB. It is the reflection of the passing of time from the long 70s to the quickness and directness of now. PLKB maintains the identity of this historic brand whilst at the same time catapulting it into the age of youth, mainstream and fun 24/7.
