I have been on a virtual world break for a while, certainly not a kiting break, sessions have been raging and seemingly endless. and the break
yields a great kite that i just don't use enough now going up for sale.
Got a few sessions in on this V10 recently trying to work this unit into regular rotation and end up always going back to a larger unit even in
heavy air. It's just not enough for my 200# on the water and much prefer the V13/CH15 or tubes and this is solely based on the power requirement to
satisfy the PHUN PHACTOR.
anyway
i got this rig from BLOAH some time back, and I have about 100 hours on it. Unit is still very fresh and crispy. zips are solid and smooth. LE
and pockets are perfect. It was repaired by previous owner (professional, powerzone i think), cell wall seem on belly, very tidy. Never know it.
PICS/VID in a couple days. one piece spars, and a net bag. i have a few extra venom bags and can threw that in if you like.
For a lighter rider <160# would a fun machine on the water. buggy/land board would be a supreme hook up. Very agile quick unit. loops in 30 at
the blink of an eye.
BLUE/YELLOW/BLACK
$300.00, buyer pays shipping, US 48.
excellent unit, just too small for me and gales around here are brief and rare.

How is the safety on this one? Was hoping for a Synergy or a VII as my first but thinking about this one not knowing how "old" the safety was back in

Arcs have used some form of a flag line for years, before the venom and still in use today. Works like a charm. The safety system is really all
about your bar and line setup than the kite. Arcs just respond to the safety being engaged, which is the pull going from 4 lines to only 1. When
flying on only 1 of its lines the arc floats to the ground. It might spin a few times on its way but it won't fly or develop much pull after going to
the flag line.carltb - 25-3-2011 at 10:43 AM
sacrilege!!!! the v1 10m is the kite that i will never sell!! ive been through soooooo much with mine and its even ripped my shoulder out of joint
twice, but like all good relationships, i love it no matter how hard it spanks me!!!!PHREERIDER - 25-3-2011 at 12:00 PM
carl, just too much meat for it. it is the first kite i did unhooked loop on though. it gets me out when all else is out of the question or
already spanked me but it always leaves me wanting more. i had this feeling when i got it and have given it a fair ride. just want to move it before
it locks up in truck ..and 2 years later "oh! forgot i had this" and zip are locked kinda thing.
now V13 is a different story totally feel the same way about that unit.shehatesmyhobbies - 25-3-2011 at 05:39 PM
Geez what a great deal! Sighing over here! A week too soon!Seanny - 25-3-2011 at 07:32 PM
It's either this or a 10m Synergy for me. I love the Venom series, but I'd kind of like to try something different. Anyone who has never flown a Venom
or VII can expect this to be a great kite. Very grunty, stable, easy to use, gust munching machine. If you like to park n' ride then look no further.
They're a bit slow turning, but pull like a truck and power is readily available. I have a modified Venom 13m and love it.

What do you mean by that?tridude - 25-3-2011 at 08:25 PM
in phreenglish this would translate into a 10m Venom and 15m Phantom for $400...............Seanny - 25-3-2011 at 08:26 PM
Now this has my attention. :oPHREERIDER - 26-3-2011 at 06:59 AM
tri got it right, has a phantom in the deal. same phantom in the gallery pics under skate and atb.ikemiester - 26-3-2011 at 10:05 AM
I'd be interested, but wouldn't this create an overlap in my quiver? The 15 = my frenzy 12m and the 10=my 10.5 ion... right?PHREERIDER - 26-3-2011 at 11:18 AM
it would be a duplicate set up , with a different feel. phantom probably would be addictively stable over the lot with more float out but its seen
a mountain of fly time. carl had it before me and i have had it a couple years.Seanny - 26-3-2011 at 03:56 PM
I would like to think that the Phantom would serve as a good "low" wind kite, but because of the high AR, wouldn't it need about the same wind to get
going as the 13m Venom?Feyd - 26-3-2011 at 05:50 PM
Nah, it would generate better apparent wind that the V1. The Phanny has the same AR as the F-Arc 1200 and that thing pulls way more than the 13m V1
in my opinion.
Much faster across the window and better upwind. Not as user friendly in dirty wind and more prone to bowties.PHREERIDER - 26-3-2011 at 07:08 PM
phantom is a magic bag indeed. very big powered window for sure and once rolling it shines and seems endless. harnessed in with 15-20mph is one
giant air chair. definitely more power than V13 and will give earlier powered float in the same light air.
light air on P15/V13 are really about the same for me, fills and rides in 8mph.Seanny - 26-3-2011 at 08:33 PM
So it does need about the same wind as a V13 to get going? I knew that it's handling and performance would be completely different from a Venom, but I
just wanted to know if the low end was any better. I know it's comparing apples to oranges, but it's a feasible comparison.PHREERIDER - 27-3-2011 at 10:01 AM

I really should save a few paychecks before taking you up on this. Although I'd
really like these kites... I mean I'd REALLY like them. I'm just too broke right now.PHREERIDER - 28-3-2011 at 07:52 AM
gotcha seanny,
rain delays on the pics/vid. maybe after NABX or upon requestPHREERIDER - 7-6-2011 at 04:59 AM
