Rev Clinic @ 2009 Cape Fear Kite Festival
Friday, November 6, 2009 - Cape Fear, NC USA
This will be a one day clinic at the same location as and prior to the Cape Fear Kite
Festival, addressing individual, pairs and team Rev (quad) techniques for
NOVICE through MASTER level pilots, led by 10-time national multiline champion
John Barresi, captain of the professional sport kite performance team iQuad...
While the obvious focus is on Revolutions for their superior flight characteristics
and durability, Instruction will happily be provided to anyone with a kite that has the
essential quad line flight characteristics such as hovering, reverse, forward and
sideways flight.
The very nature of Rev flying, both individually and as a team is fun, relaxed and very
forgiving, so if youre even the least bit curious, this is a premier opportunity to learn
from one of the most experienced and prolific Rev pilots in the world.
