I've got a chance to get a Venom V1 8 meter kite but don't know much about its wind range. Anyone buggy with the 8? What's the wind range you use it
in?

I'm pretty sure Todd would fly that in 15-20 maybe more.

yeah, don't get it out in less than 15 and you'll have to work it a bit in that. 20 in the buggy would start to feel good. Not sure how much wind
would make you feel like you had a tiger by the tail. Easily into the 30s I would imagine.

I've been in the upper 20's with it and jamming! Oh yeah Donnie... that's the one that blew by you 
Very stable kite with grunt and a plus when using the 40cm bar. My low end considering the weight of the buggy and I would be 20.

Flexiblade was flying an 8M Venom the last time we went to the beach in 20+ wind. That was the day I did the speed run on the 9M Phantom.

Depends on your surface for the buggy. 15mph on a dry lake bed would be great. Pushing it at 25.

I plan to put some miles on my 8 and 10m on the playa. They feed on apparent wind so much, the speed kicks in the power.
