Hey Killa,
I caught up with Peter Lynn Jr and Lachlan Beed yesterday, and spoke with him about the safety issues. Hopefully in the next year we will see new groundbreaking safety systems that will become iconic trademarks of the already brilliant PLK Venoms

I recently got an ankle reconstruction, so have been off the water, and amid the gusting S/W yesterday went out on a new 13mtr Venom 2.

I have to say Pete has outdone himself on this one, it handled gusts brilliantly, the turning was great, and threw a couple of backrolls, all in all not a bad session before i had to get back to family.

if you get the oppurtunity to try a Venom or Venom2 out i suggest you do it, you will notice the difference between the guerilla so much, Pete Lynn has gone all out to ensure a more stable kite that has the ability to auto zenith when you let go of the bar, for example a mate of mine was getting a lesson from lachie yesterday and a medium gust hit him and he started getting dragged accross the sand running uncontrolably downwind, (we were all there once) and the kite was almost gonna hit the sand, and lach yelled out to let go of the bar, the kite immediatley smoothly sailed to the zenith, i never had a LEI that could do that!

hey and don't worry about people who give you crap or tell you it is only made for the snow, and give you doona jokes, it is i agree statistaclly proven that more than 90% of kiters use a LEI, and hey that's cool, i mean the guys i kite with call me captain snooze, and give me crap all the time about it. However, with a Venom it is easier to learn tricks on and you get higher air, and so i just plug away and do my own thing, and progress with my riding ability, although i still consider myself in the whole spectrum of ability a begginer.

so get out there dude, try a venom, there are bargains to be had on ebay and safe kiting..

Safe Kiting.

Believe it or not, I've never had any bad comments about my Guerila, only lots a queries from people who've never tried them. I learned to kite on an Arc and have always found PLKs to be easy, forgiving, and good for a range of winds & conditions. Ive never had any trouble relaunching - Ive only ever dropped in in water three times as they turn so quickly - when you're crashing you can just give the bar a quick yank and know its on its way back up while your on your way head first under water! And they do make great doonas, Ive been out camping and had the warmest nights sleep in mine. I'd love nothing more than a new Venom but wont try one till I can afford to buy one...
I will check out the systems and see which is best for me, and will hopefully be ready to play soon!
Cheers & good winds
