PLKB - kites for water, snow and land

PLKB is the current identity of Peter Lynn Kiteboarding, a kite brand built for riders who enjoy water, snow and land traction sports. Its range covers kiteboarding, snowkiting, landkiting and powerkiting, with gear for first kite control sessions, freeride progression and high-performance riding. The brand keeps a practical approach: accessible, technical PLKB kites with durable materials and design details that matter on the water or in rougher traction-kite conditions.

What makes PLKB stand out?

• Wide kite range across disciplines: PLKB offers LEI tube kites, open-cell foil kite models, trainer kite options, fixed-bridle powerkite designs, twin-tip boards and control accessories for different riding styles.
• Performance freeride and big air design: the Hook V4 uses a 5-strut high aspect ratio frame for hangtime, speed, upwind drive and a wide wind range, making it a clear choice for riders who want to boost higher and ride with confidence.
• Direct depower and steering systems: models such as Hook V4 and Gambit V2 use high depower bridle systems designed to give controlled bar pressure, responsive steering and reliable power delivery.
• Durable kite construction: PLKB kites use features such as Teijin Triple Ripstop canopy material, double-stitched leading edge construction, Dacron reinforcement and Kevlar bumpers in key crash and abrasion zones.
• Cleaner canopy profiles: Gambit V2 uses Laser Tech canopy cutting to reduce wrinkles and create smoother profiles, helping the kite feel more refined in the air.
• Long traction-kite heritage: PLKB builds on Peter Lynn’s history in kite design, including buggy, C-Quad and Arc/Twinskin-style innovations, while keeping the focus on gear that riders can actually use and progress with.

Who is PLKB for?

PLKB is for kitesurfers and traction-kite riders who want technical gear without unnecessary complication. Beginners can start with a Skim TR trainer kite to learn kite control, relaunch behaviour and basic flying skills before moving into larger equipment. Intermediate and advanced riders can look at the Gambit V2 freeride kite or the Hook V4 big air kite for stronger boosting, longer hangtime, better upwind performance and more direct handling.

The brand also suits riders who use kites away from the water. The Ibex and Ibex Ultralight are open-cell depower models for snowkite and backcountry use, while Hornet and Twister fit land-based powerkite riding, buggy sessions and jumping. For riders choosing a board, the Shepherd kiteboard adds a balanced rocker, Paulownia woodcore, 3D bottom shape, 45 mm G10 fins and practical dual Velcro straps.
