We use the Peter Lynn Imulse TR in the school for our 2 and 3m kites as it is really fun and easy to fly, is very stable and has a very tough high quality build plus it has the third line for super easy relaunch and self landing.
This is our recommendation if you are looking for a 2 or 3m kite to be used on a bar.
The Impulse TR is the perfect trainer kite for anyone who wants to improve their kite flying skills to get into kiteboarding, landboarding or snowkiting. A unique shape, bombproof construction, 3-line setup and the control bar with safety leash help entry-level kite flyers to develop their kite skills and get used to the power of a kite. The kite has been developed to offer a perfect balance between speed and stability, so riders get challenged when flying the kite but will not struggle to keep the kite in the air. The power can build up to quite a bit, so the rider rapidly learns which sections of the wind window create the most power and which sections the least. The Impulse TR can even be used to ride a land board or a buggy, to get more experienced with kite traction activities.
The Impulse Trainer is flown on a 3-line control bar with safety system, to get an experience as close as possible to kiteboarding or landboarding right from the start. The extra center line, the Life line, makes a very easy instant relaunch possible.
Characteristics
-
Easy steering - The Peter Lynn Impulse TR is very easy to control. The kite steers smooth and as it is flown on a control bar, over-steering the kite is not an option. The Impulse TR has the perfect balance in steering behavior, making it challenging to fly but still easy to keep in the air.
-
Good power - The Impulse TR can create quite some pull, helping riders to get ready for future kite traction activities. With any form of kite traction you need quite some power to get going, so it is important to learn how to stay in control of your kite when it starts pulling.
-
Excellent stability - The Impulse TR, being a trainer kite, is designed to be extremely stable in all kinds of conditions. The kite is extremely stable so you are not struggling to keep the kite in the air but training to develop your kiting skills. With kite traction you need to be able to rely on your kite flying the way you expect it to fly, so you can control your kite hardly without looking at it. If your kite is stable and reliable like the Impulse TR, you can develop these skills from the moment your first kite is in the air.
-
Easy re-launch - Learning any new sport is difficult, kiting is no exception. When you start to challenge yourself, sometimes you cannot avoid to crash your kite. With your adrenaline running at full speed you want to relaunch your kite quickly. The Impulse TR is fitted with am extra centre line making the relaunch of the kite super easy.
