If you walk down the board walk there is an exit onto the dunes right by the sound tent.

How many does it take to be a "Mega-Fly"?
Seems that in the past several years, we have lines of 12-16 Rev fliers. Not planned, it just seems to happen. Sometimes on an hourly basis.
I'll be #7 Jim!

the issue is.. I don't know how to do most of the maneuver. And anything inverted, is out of the question. can't even do an inverted hover yet, let alone slides. even an upright slide! LOL!.
Come see me Exile. I'll get you inverted flying in 30 mins.
Just do what I say and stop thinking is all I ask.
Offer stands for anyone else there also with problems with inverted flight.

I'm adept? Thanks. I consider myself a hack!
I have issues with reverse flight, but it's not a total write-off. I can't do it without thought which I'd like to but I can do it. Mainly it is not always perfectly level or consistant speed and sometimes I over control and flip a tip out but it isn't stopping me from moving on. I practice reverse flight every time I go out and in different orientations. This year at WSIKF I am going to observe under the smoother winds and then pick more brains to see if I can ge the rest of the kinks out.
Transitions are coming along good for me. Not all over the sky when I do them now so one more baby step.
I might have to sit out your 9 x 9 grid cartwheel!

Your no hack Bart!
A word of advice to anyone trying reverse flight.
A vented kite reverses easier. Bart is lucky enough to own a Xtra vent. It is the easiest kite to reverse fly.
If you can hold a side ways hover on two middle fingers(ie not have the kite running forward) Your brake setting is correct.
that is a good general rule for set up each time you fly.
To much forward on the kite will mean larger wrist rotations which lead to bigger mistakes and over corrections.
When turning corners on a horizontal ladder in reverse remember you are switching from one side ways hover to the other whilst travelling. So your hands must change from one hover to the other during the corner.
Travelling rotations are clock work while traveling. Focus on the middle of the kite and keep tension on all lines. AGAIN if you are running to much forward it is more difficult.

Just a quick public post to thank Ben, Bazzer, Lolly and anyone else involved for solving a problem quickly and efficiently. I am pleased to have received my racegreen xtra vent on Friday. Thanks for your care and attention. Showing Rev to be a helpful and trustworthy company.
Your welcome Tommy and thank you for your patience:blue-cool:

Just finished the last episode on Netflix last night. Now what do I make kites to??????????????????

"Let them Sing" Hunt for Red October. Of Course to say this properly you must speak Connerese. "Let them Shing"
"Spam in a can" The Right Stuff
"Huston We have a problem" Apollo 13
"you're clear kid, let's blow this joint and go home" Star Wars
And my favorite quote from a TV shows
"smeghead" Red Dwarf
"Some say, he knows two fact about ducks....... and both are wrong" Jeremy Clarkson on Top Gear when talking about the Stig.

I haven't had my revs long enough to know, so forgive the daft question .... Do the venteds not suffer the same problem or is it just a pain to put wear strips on the venteds?
The mesh on the Mid Vents and Full vents absorb the vibration and scuff during flight.
-
Hi Ben,
Are these "compulsory" mods? Given a choice, could I opt for future BPros not to come with these vertical strips? Just curious as I still prefer the look of the kite without the vertical strips.
Thanks
Darryl
Hi Darryl,
The Standard B Series Pros will all have these strips on them.
They are not on Mids or Vented.
If you wish for your kite not to have wear strips please make it known on your order.
I will more than happily make you a kite that will wear out quicker.

True dat. The computer can say what it wants, I'm gettin' my fly on!!
This chart might come in handy for anyone who wants to make a guess at the wind speed:
Although reality will best tell what the conditions are, I still have use for the weather programs. I'm a "right kite for the job" kind of flier, hence I have multiple Revs, and several kites in general. However, the closest place I can fly is a 25 minute walk. Also, I usually fly alone. I like to check the weather so I don't have to carry $1000+ worth of kites with me just to make sure all conditions are covered. Can't leave Revs in the hot truck, otherwise I'd drive....
Embrace some technology
Ok maybe a little

What I use has never let me down and is always right.
I look out the window.
or even better walk out the door!
I think there is an app for it called "reality"
One thing is for sure you can't change it so go with it.

I'll get you a pack of Wurthers Originals for your kite bag old fella. Maybe a nice tartan ground sheet too. Happy Birthday Johnny.

Shot this video today... borrowed a GoPro camera from a good kite surfer friend of mine.
I thought it would be a great view of 2 rev flyin...
It was such a great day .. im so glad summer is here !!!
Go Rum Buddy!

For me its two wrap centre, three wrap out and race verts.This was the original test configuration.
I don't like the way the Race rods over power so easily on the leading edge and give that runaway feeling.
But at the end of the day its all personal taste.

Happy Birthday from #7.

After seeing a real Zen, I noticed that the vertical panels are 1 solid piece. The colorizer shows that panel as being 2 separate pieces, as it would apply to the B Series (my pic "2" where the red arrow is pointing).
Is it possible to have a Zen made with the outermost vertical panels split into 2 pieces like on the B Series?
No Your fine design away.
Have fun
