Hey guys.
I have located a peter lynn venom 13m kite for 200.00.
Can you tell me if this kite is worth the money.
Pros and cons?
What years?
Thanks
Tod

YES , It should be a good deal if it is in good shape.

I'm not sure but I think you can use your recon bar on it ?????

Its a good price for a V1 Venom and a great price for a VII. Both kites are good for snow, land and water. I have a VI 13 and a V2 16. Make sure its a Peter Lynn bar or lengthen the center line to make it a long throw. This gives it great depower.

Great deal, buy it - just make sure that's US $200. You can get an 07 bar through the NZ peter lynn webstore for just over $100. I sold my 13m venom to get a 12m phantom, love the phantom but the 13 had a nice extra pop on jumps.

It needs the spars or rods. Wheres a source for those ? It is the V1 version with bar and lines and its here in the states for 200 us.
Thanks for the help guys.

I have located a flexifoil buggy as well.
getting my ducks all in a row.

... where is this webstore you speak of?

Sounds like a great deal to me. You can get your money back on here if you decide to sell.

the seller is kinda iffy. He wont send me any pics of the kite that really show me the condition of the kite.
Kinda stupid to pull the trigger when they send you pic the size of a postage stamp.

I have already fell into the trap before.

I bought a 55cm 07 bar from the peter lynn web store about 3 months ago for $99 - this is the store that is based out of New Zealand not the Netherlands (I think?). Maybe someone else can elaborate because I am having the hardest time tracking it down. The bar I know came from New Zealand but I can't find my email receipts to verify the exact company name - even though now I do remember corresponding with someone with a dutch name. Sorry I can't give any more info, maybe MJ can give some better info than I.

And to stay with the thread - good call on being wary of someone that won't be strait up with kite condition - if it feels really weird wait to find another one - they are popping up all the time.
