I rode that PL Venom and it was an awesome kite.

More stable than any C kite I've ever flown, and it had a huge range. It jumped as good as my Yargas, and would practically fly itself. If I fell during a jump, I could let go of the bar and the kite would stay in the air with zero power... forever. Heck we left it tied to a garbage can at EB and it flew for hours while we cooked clams and burgers on the grill.
If I could afford one, I'd buy one.
I never got to water relaunch it tho... but honestly, I can't imagine this thing would ever hit the water. It doesn't crash unless YOU steer it into the water.
