You've opened up a can of worms there philip hehe

And you just happen to have one for sale in the buy/sell, well fancy that what a coincidence

haha classic pimp hard mate.
I would
never buy a Venom lucky so don't just rush into what everyone is pedaling at the time.
I remember you posting this thread up a while back on this subject didn't you?
Personally I would recommend a recent model second hand Bow style kite maybe one season old with 100% depower system.
Which I think you were advised on last time?
As for boards I know the slingshot misfit was a real light board but I haven't ridden one since '06 but it was a great board and quick although better suited for flat water than wave and chop.
Oh yea I'm not trying to sell anything either mate lol
Also on the issue with your feet mate you might want to look at these foot pads(I didn't like them on test myself)but it might serve your purpose lucky.....
