Arc kite
Introduction An arckitelandboard The '''arckite''' or twinskin kite is a type of traction kite designed and patented by Peter Lynn. It is a very stable, safe and secure type of powerkite. It can be used for all kinds of kite powered sports, for example: kiteboarding, landboarding, kite buggying or snowkiting. The shape of the kite is similar to a C-shaped leading edge inflatable kite,  however the construction is similar to a foil kite. These kites also fall into a category of foils called "closed-cell inflatables", meaning that the ram-air inlets on the leading edge of the kite are normally closed by flaps that act as one-way valves to maintain internal air pressure. It is this feature that makes the kite useful for kitesurfing since, unlike standard open-cell foils, if the kite crashes on the water, it will stay inflated and float long enough for the rider to recover and re-launch.

Styles Depending on the specific style of the kite its suitable better for different usages, however, each of the kites can be used on all terrain.===Land based kites (highest aspect ratio)===Kites which are not as easy to water relaunch, but have better depower and upper wind range. * Phantom* Scorpion* Phantom II===Water based low aspect ratio===* S-Arc* Bomba* Vortex===Water based high aspect ratio===Better low wind performance, * F-Arc* Guerila I & Guerilla II* Venom I & Venom II* Synergy* Charger
