So, I posted a note a while back asking for advice regarding the sizing for a synergy kite. And, I think I may just try a Peter Lynn for my smallest kite size. I am liking the sound of the gust handling.

But, I need to buy used, and getting a hold of a Charger or Synergy in the size I am looking for may be a bit challenging. As far as I know, the Scorpion and the Venom II will both go in the water correct? I was wondering if one of those comes along the used market in the right size, and I pick it up, how they would differ from the Synergy.

From what I have gathered...

Scorpion - faster turning than Venom (not sure about Synergy), less stable than the other 2?

Venom2 - more stable than Scorpion

Synergy - faster turning than Venom2,

Can someone complete this list of differences for me? I know I am missing a lot. Wouldn't mind knowing handling characteristics, grunt, lift...etc.

Of course, the Synergy sounds like an upgrade to the Venom2, but I am not really sure of that. The Scorpion sounds like a different kite, built for a specific purpose. I am not quite understanding where it fits in the lineup.

I don't really have an answer for you, but you might have better luck if you re-post this in the Kites and Accessories section! :D

Cheers,
Seanny
