March 21-23, 2008 | Wildwood, NJ

Sponsored by the South Jersey Kite Flyers!

This will be a 2 1/4 day clinic, addressing individual, pairs and team Rev (quad) techniques, led by 2 or more members of the professional sport kite performance team iQuad... While the team obviously focuses on and recommends Revolutions for their superior flight characteristics and durability, iQuad members will happily provide instruction to anyone with a kite that has the essential quad line flight characteristics such as hovering, reverse, forward and sideways flight.

Friday will be focused more towards providing specific tips and tools that will take all the frustration out of setting up and flying your Revolution kite(s)... The very nature of Rev team flying is fun, relaxed and very forgiving, so if you're the least bit curious, this is a premier opportunity to learn from some of the best in the world.

  What does registration include?

Your registration will include unlimited access to the workshop sessions and instruction on Friday nite, Saturday and Sunday.

  What should I bring?

Clothing & Food:

We recommend each participant come prepared with warm clothing (layers are best), including basic rain gear... Even in the event of inclement weather, those who are comfortable should be prepared to enjoy flying, fun and hi jinks, unless the conditions turn absolutely sour.

Also, be sure to pack a lunch, water and sun block! The natural flow of our beach workshops allow for people to relax and have downtime as people cycle through the learning process... While we won't be taking an official lunch break, you will find plenty of time to breathe, eat and enjoy your day on the beach with other kite fliers.

Equipment:

Revolution Kites will be available for sale at the Clinic.

For the individual skills, any Revolution or similarly capable quad line kite is acceptable, using pretty much any quality or length of lines, although spectra lines are recommended.

For team skills, a Revolution 1.5 of any model (EXP, SLE, B-Series, etc) is required, along with a 120' set of 90 lb spectra quad lines, which is generally the accepted international standard for Rev team flying.

While there will be some communal equipment available during the workshop, it would be beneficial to come equipped with 2, 3 and 4 wrap frames, as well as both standard and vented sails to take full advantage of any wind conditions that might come arise.
