Selling both these kites as we just don't get conditions to fly them often enough, and now that I've updated my LEI quiver, I've switched to flying my
old ones for landboarding when the winds are on the low end. Up for grabs are two kites I got off the forum... Willing to consider trades for pretty
much any other kite stuff if you want to go that route.
PKD Brooza II 7.5m
Colors: Orange and Black
Price: KO $200 OBO (including shipping to the 48 states)
Condition: Kite has a couple grass stains on it, and the front right power bridal's connection point needs to be replaced/resleeved. [s]I'll get
pictures up tomorrow when I take it out[/s]. Bought from Macboy on here, not sure of the age/year.
Someone called dibs on this when I bought it, if i ever was going to sell it, but I don't remember who, might have been BEC (if the person remembers
let me know and I'll honor them for a reasonable offer on the kite).

Peter Lynn Venom II 19m
Colors: Blue/White/Black
Price: $350 OBO including shipping to the 48. Includes original PL Bar/ lightly used Lines.
Condition: Perfect condition. I've flown it maybe half a dozen times since I got it, we just don't get the right wind, and I never got super
comfortable with arcs. I usually pull out my LEIs instead. Kite is still crisp, no holes or repairs, spars for end are all in perfect condition. Only
issue is the bag, which has come unsewn on numerous seams, luckily you don't fly the bag. Bought from j0fer on here originally.

If anyone has any questions or want for different pictures let me know and I'll get them taken in the next couple days.
EDIT: Added Pictures
EDIT: Clarification: As it's been asked in half a dozen U2Us shipping is running $15 on the Brooza (USPS Flat Rate Insured) and $40-50 (USPS Flat Rate
Priority 1-2 Day Insured) on the Venom. I priced this low and included shipping to avoid having to haggle, and am not interested in giving a discount
for buying both (I just didn't leave much left on the bone price wise).

Damn, that sounds like a really nice price on the Venom 2. It almost certainly has too much overlap with my Scorpion 16m and I really can't justify
buying another kite right now, but it's tempting all the same.

Sure is a pretty Venom! My first arc was a Venom II 16m. Lot's of great memories with that kite. Extremely stable arc with lots of grunt! I still
have some sellers regret

Thanks both of you. I wasn't sure what to price it at Rofer and mostly just want it going to a good home it'll get used at.

What type of foil is the brooza? Low, mid, high aspect?
volock - 8-4-2015 at 10:29 AM
Medium to High ssayre. I can measure and give you an exact AR if you want it. I'm off to fly and take some picture which I'll get posted this
afternoon. It's got some lift (I have the AoA built into the bridle set to minimize that, so to speak), and plenty of grunt. It's an amazing kite, I
just don't get the right wind to use it much, and isn't quite right for an ultra light/no wind kite to play with.
Funds from selling are going to whatever kite or ride my wife decides she wants to play with.

That Brooza is one of my more missed kites. It was my "big kite before I started flying de powers" and has a beautiful power build when apparent wind
kicks in. Tracks straight through the air and sits nice and stable near the edge of the window even in our gusty winds. The cam cleat handles give you
crazy adjustability even on the fly and the strop is clean and free of knotty bits that might snag.
Killer kite for the price for sure. It's lived its whole life on PKF originally coming from Pablo here.

I believe the A/R on the Brooza is 3.9.
It's also got an adjustable Angle Of Attack on the bridle.
ATB,

One thing I liked a lot with the Brooza's was the limited air inlets. They launched a bit slow but held there shape in Janky winds.
It fit in the middle of the pack with Buster beginner and Century as the race model.
