Kite surfing review Peter Lynn Escape 11m 2015

Test conditions:

water: flat

wind: 13 - 23 knots

test settings: 20m and 23m lines

Conclusion:

We tested this 11m Escape in a very wide wind range, because we had the moms, dads and hard working weekend riders, in mind. Kitesurfers who just have a few moments to ride and those moments aren't always the best ones. Nevertheless you want to go out, right now! Well the Escape has that wide usability range. Great low and high end. At its low end the Escape is an easy to ride, fast turning kite with a great relaunch. At its high end you have a great depower and nice sheet & go airtime kite. A bit heavy on the bar, but nice for the feedback. Attach that with a mellow lift and you have a comfortable feel in overpowered situations.
Big air allrounders, expect a fast kite with a great float and stable on/off bar control.

Pros

  • wide wind range
  • great relaunch
  • wide usability range
  • price

Cons

  • finishing touch bar

Comments:
All and all it is a nice kite if you don't want to spend to much money. Don't expect a flashy bar. It just has anything you need on it and nothing more. It was a very gusty and windy day including a lot of rain. But the kite was stable and still would give you the confidence to send it up for a nice flight. I am looking forward at testing with lower wind conditions. Because you can tell a lot more of its characteristics in low wind conditions. The kites seems to have some drag and it sits i bit deeper in de wind window. That will make it go a little bit less upwind but on the other hand it will give you more power in low wind condtions.
