Good kites.

6m not really too small I am 110kg and love it 25knots plus on a surfboard, they are very grunty for their size.

I have 6, 8 and 10 love them tuff as to.

Cheers Andrew

Have been riding SB2 10m all last summer and just get Venturi 08 8m. Did not try it properly on water but snow. Very quick in window as well as in turns compare to SB2 (mind the size different). No bar pressure at all. I wore out my palms struggling on SB. As to position of the kite I try to feel it on the central lines pull direction.
Sits very forward on riding and very easy unhooked. Constant and solid power on loops and quickly get up after. On shorter lines even faster. Very different kite as of SB, very C-like
I like raily on SB more when the kite is parked because of feel of power on bar yet always on maximum trimming. Venturi needs more wind or do it on loop but start at right time - it is very quick.

Jumps are easy and soft landings despite of the small size.

The weird is the struts are too thick and the back lines too slacken. Yet fully controllable. Relounch is a bit longer then SB but still confident. Self landing handle is of use also. QR might be more reliable and easy to use. Don't like the depower throw. The bar system looks handmade. I like Override on SB more.

Bulletproof construction.
