PL Venom II mod?

Cheddarhead - 9-10-2010 at 06:28 PM

I have a question for all you Venom owners.

Just purchased a Venom II 16m from lostfox1. In the for sale section, "Kitesurfer" had mentioned that there was a "bob's bridle" mod for this kite to make it fly better. Anyone have an explanation for this mod? Is the "bob's bridle" refering to "Beamerbob" or am I on the wrong track.

Thanks for any input you may have.

Can't vouch for them as I don't own a Venom, but looks pretty legitimate.

bobs bridle attaches the tips at the LE line attachment through a small centered ring in the top center belly of the kite at the #2 web strap, with a line.

i ran this set up till the center started to rip the skin in high wind about 30 mph +.

very simple, kinda effective, made the kite flare less . keep it boxy, gave more C_kite feel.

i have the kite he's reffering to. its in the gallery
