13m Peter Lynn Venom (SOLD):
Incredibly versatile kite that is friendly, but not docile. It turns fast, generates a ton of power and has decent float and lift. It's also awesome
looking with red and orange flames on a background of white and black. This comes with kite, spars, bar, lines and a sausage bag. The kite is used but
all zippers work fine and the kite doesn't have any holes that I know of. There are a couple of patches that were professionally installed, but it's
in really good shape. The bar is a short Best bar with some updated hardware and leader lines; it works great with the smaller Venoms.
All three:
Noticed some corrosion on the deflate zipper.
The One Patch (to rule them all...):
18m Peter Lynn Guerilla ($265 RTF, shipped)
This is a great low wind engine or entry level giant depower kite. 18m is BIG, and it catches wind when other kites can't even get off the ground. I
wouldn't fly this anywhere outside the 5-15mph wind range (and at 15mph it a LOT of power), but it's a great engine for snow kiting, buggying, kite
landboarding or kitesurfing. It doesn't turn super fast, but it's a killer park -n- ride machine. It also has a nice smooth floaty response for
jumpIng. Just don't be expecting to do any kite loops on it. This one holds air and has a little discoloring on the white bits, but it's in good
flying shape. It has a handful of patches and generally resembles a poorly cared-for quilt, but she flies well. The bar is nothing fancy and has a
few battle scars, but gets the job done and has a reliable safety. The price includes kite, bar, lines, spars and a not-very-good-bag that came with
the kite (but it holds it.)
A little wear on these straps:
19m Peter Lynn Venom - ($375 RTF, shipped)
This kite is a dream for jumping. In 10-15mph winds you can sneeze and catch 10 feet of air. It's also fantastic for a buggy / snow / water engine,
but it's not as much of a low wind kite as you might expect. The Guerilla does better in lower winds but this Venom turns faster than you'd expect a
19m to turn and has a ton of smooth, floaty, predictable lift. I've never done a kiteloop on it, but I'd imagine it's possible. This kite is in
fantastic shape. I don't know of any holes or patches. The lines are also in really good shape and the bar is incredibly wide, which is great for
bigger kites. The price includes lines, bar, bag and spars.
A little discoloration here and there. Soda?

Whatcha gettin to replace em Dave? More Flysurfers? Or some DP foils (Ozones or HQs)?
Good luck buddy!!Proletariat - 24-8-2013 at 09:07 PM
Got 2 flysurfers already (8m psycho and 12m Pulse 2) that covers most of this range. I'd really like to fill out the quiver with a 15m Speed 3, but
if the queen had balls she'd be the king .
I'm certainly not adverse to depower foils at this point, but I do like the extra bit of structure that comes with an inflated kite. Arcs and LEIs
are both pretty amazing in these winds but FS is really the sweet spot with my limited time to kite and their ridiculous setup/teardown time. I keep
having second thoughts about this sale because these are all amazing kites, but I just think it's time to trim down a bit.
Someone please buy these before I try to convince my lady friend that a 30 kite quiver is totally normal... . knkmannthey - 24-8-2013 at 09:52 PM
No don't look the 13 venom. I love that kite. I even flown that one. Maybe get rid of the 12 vortex and get the venom. O well we will seeProletariat - 24-8-2013 at 11:18 PM
Oopsie, double post.Demoknight - 26-8-2013 at 12:58 PM
Man, at that price, I almost want the Guerilla just for the novelty...macboy - 26-8-2013 at 01:14 PM
(Psst....a 30 kite quiver IS totally normal )Proletariat - 26-8-2013 at 07:50 PM
Shush you. It isn't going to take a lot to convince me to keep these suckers. The 19m is the most predictable big floaty kite I've ever owned, the
Guerilla is just plain old' awesome for parking, riding, and trying new stuff, and the 13m venom is... Well, anyone who has flown one knows...
BTW, macboy, you need one of these:
Are you going to be at SOBB? I wanna see if I can trick your wife into talking to mine Proletariat - 8-9-2013 at 01:26 AM
Changed some stuff around and did a much closer inspection. Let me know if you have any questions.Proletariat - 8-9-2013 at 01:27 AM
Oh yeah, and I'm heading out of town for a couple of days, so it might take me a few extra days to ship, but I can still respond to u2u's and emails.Michael Gaylan - 8-9-2013 at 04:06 AM

Is that a Wipika bar on the 19? Proletariat - 8-9-2013 at 09:45 AM
It IS a wipika. It's the widest bar I've ever seen, and it comes with all sorts of accoutrements. It sure does turn that Venom fast Bladerunner - 8-9-2013 at 12:15 PM

The CL on the bar looks to be Airush ? shortlineflyer - 9-9-2013 at 09:15 AM
I just want the revo trucksProletariat - 9-9-2013 at 09:45 AM
@ Bladerunner -- I think so, too. This bar actually comes with 4 different chicken loops of various sizes. Most of them look like the original
Wipika ones, but this one supports bar spinning while leashed in, so it is the one I preferred.
BTW, BR, I'm sorry I missed you at SOBB. Only popped in for a half day, met a couple of Kens, put away my kite out of fear,then BS'd with the locals
Also, if anyone is interested in KO prices, let me know.Proletariat - 12-9-2013 at 11:02 AM
19m Venom is sold pending payment.Proletariat - 14-9-2013 at 03:23 PM
13m is sold, too. I'll take 225 for the Guerilla if you pick it up locally. I'm tired of waffling on selling her. Trying to update some of my gear
into this decade . Proletariat - 18-9-2013 at 03:51 PM
All 3 kites are sold or spoken for. In case you were curious, I bought a 6m Unity to replace the high wind stuff I had (primarily that 10m Venom). I'm
very excited about owning my first kite made this decade erratic winds - 18-9-2013 at 07:35 PM
Oooh can't wait to get a go on that unity when you decide to head in. ;D
Glad to see they all found homes!Proletariat - 20-9-2013 at 09:11 PM
Yeah, I can't wait to let you . I'm finally getting into kites made this decade!
