PL Venom II mod?
I have a question for all you Venom owners.
Just purchased a Venom II 16m from lostfox1. In the for sale section, "Kitesurfer" had mentioned that there was a "bob's bridle" mod for this kite to
make it fly better. Anyone have an explanation for this mod? Is the "bob's bridle" refering to "Beamerbob" or am I on the wrong track.
Thanks for any input you may have.

bobs bridle attaches the tips at the LE line attachment through a small centered ring in the top center belly of the kite at the #2 web strap, with a
line.
i ran this set up till the center started to rip the skin in high wind about 30 mph +.
very simple, kinda effective, made the kite flare less . keep it boxy, gave more C_kite feel.
i have the kite he's reffering to. its in the gallery
