I had many opportunities to fly with their team just following around and absorbing everything I could. They introduced me to my frist real line wrap and the one that eventually brought a bunch of us down too...

Thanks for making the trip to WSIKF from all the way across the big pond.

Last day and just a few people left on the beach. I don't think anyone really wanted to leave.

Paul (Kite Cowboy), the last person to whine about anything whined at just the wrong time and was handed a "Whinge" card for his effort from Stephen of the Flying Squad. Stephen was quick to point out that the card was not permission to continuing whining though!]]> Fri, 27 Aug 2010 00:41:25 +0000 http://www.revkites.com/forum/gallery/image/4400-the-whinge-card/ http://www.revkites.com/forum/gallery/image/4399-the-decorators-and-myself/
These guys hold a special place in my heart now. Felix had threatened to find me even if I was hiding down the beach and he kept to his word. I was surprised to find four Decorator kites float in above me and proceed to include me in some simple follows and other basic team patterns. Really they opened up the whole week for me to feel I was part of something bigger not just someone looking in from the side lines.

Always a pleasure to watch these guys in action. It didn't quite work out to fly with them as a group, but there's always next year for that!

The Decorators do this absolutely fantastic routine that is very slow and relaxing to watch. Really if I had a style of my own it would be similar to what these guys do.

Well, three Rev Riders anyway. Watty filled in as a fourth in this routine. Always so nice to meet people that one only has online messages with! We hung out a lot in the evenings too having supper, conversation and lots of laughs.

I could use some lessons in backing up the window. Right now it looks like I'm drunk when I attempt it.]]> Fri, 27 Aug 2010 00:40:45 +0000 http://www.revkites.com/forum/gallery/image/4395-anyone-need-to-learn-to-fly/ http://www.revkites.com/forum/gallery/image/4394-reflections/
The obligatory "hey look my kite is on the beach in the water" shot. I didn't have one of those, though, so had to do it. I had to hose it off later too when it got knocked over...

My custom B pro against blue sky and blue water.

I had a number of compliments on this kite which were nice to hear. One always hopes that others like what was ultimately created and I guess I did well on this one.]]> Fri, 27 Aug 2010 00:40:43 +0000 http://www.revkites.com/forum/gallery/image/4393-blue-on-blue-on-blue/ http://www.revkites.com/forum/gallery/image/4343-lined-up/
This was right after the 25 kite practice grid and right before everyone got lines up for the 56.]]> Fri, 20 Aug 2010 14:49:24 +0000 http://www.revkites.com/forum/gallery/image/4343-lined-up/ http://www.revkites.com/forum/gallery/image/4342-cool-kites-cool-sand/
Interesting how the wind moves the sand around the kite edge and digs a little trench around it.]]> Thu, 19 Aug 2010 06:18:55 +0000 http://www.revkites.com/forum/gallery/image/4342-cool-kites-cool-sand/ http://www.revkites.com/forum/gallery/image/4341-oh-the-agony-of-it-all/
I am starting to think this needs to be on the Rev field during the grid practice because it is starting to feel like work to me! Failure is no longer and option.]]> Thu, 19 Aug 2010 06:18:54 +0000 http://www.revkites.com/forum/gallery/image/4341-oh-the-agony-of-it-all/ http://www.revkites.com/forum/gallery/image/4340-mega-grid-practice/

They turn like a boat.

Paul's "new" Rev I's for himself and Candace.

A lot of people wanted a turn on them.

An attraction all on their own.

Which one doesn't belong here?

My Blue with one of the Decorator kites and JB and TK's kites.
