iQuad Rev Clinic (US) **It's a GO!**


KiteLife

Recommended Posts

Okay gang, got a basic game plan laid out... Look to the first post in this thread, give me a couple of minutes to add the document.

We'll be holding the clinic at "Sunset Beach", which is a tad north of Seaside proper... Will add a Google map link, as soon as I find it on the map.

It's a drive-on beach, even for 2WD vehicles.

TONS of room, less foot traffic, and we won't run the danger of kites being run over, like we did at the WCRC. ;)

Also, still deciding where to meet on Saturday night, will update the first post with this info as well, soon as I have it.

I've learned that Seaside takes up a significant portion of the beach from noon onward, setting up their fireworks display... We're not an officially recognized event, so it goes without saying that we're at the mercy of our environment for the night fly.

Best advice, look north and south of the promenade for kites on Friday, otherwise we'll see you at Sunset Beach on Saturday morning. ;)

John,

Would it be OK if I was flying on the same beach? I do not have the $$ for the clinic, (wife says NO!) but maybe a participant with nothing to do could come over and keep me company and maybe give a few pointers?

I will stay out of the way, but I would love to meet some other local fliers! I do not want to horn in when others have payed the dues for this clinic, and I have not.

Okay, thanks to help from Theresa at The Kite Shoppe, iQuad has permission to fly in front of the promenade up until the fireworks start (approximately 4pm-10pm).

The Seaside chamber of commerce is actually including us in their press releases. ;)

I'd assume there will still be "open" flying throughout the day however, until they start setting up their fireworks.

The map and full info is in the first post of this thread, but I'd rather you have a point of contact, just in case. :)

Although Friday isn't a clinic day, most of team will be on the beach from early afternoon on... The city has authorized iQuad to fly (as part of their celebration) in front of the promenade until the fireworks start, then everyone's gotta clear out for safety reasons.

Think I will try to keep mine a bit longer Jeremy.

She rolls her eyes a bit. And I must agree when she says "Another kite, you already must have about 10, and some of those you have leant out to folks." I do agree with her, just for a split second.

If only she knew how many I have got, no on second thoughts better not.

Got back a few hours ago from the clinic. I truly think the learning curve just skyrockets during these.

Hey John, remember the week at WSKIF when I finally learned how to axle my duelie.. and later that night when I fell asleep in the chair watching tv with everyone, I was still doing axles in my sleep??

Well, I just woke myself up out of a sound sleep doing a flick flack.. hahaha... scared the heck out of my dog!

Really great clinic.

thanks

I wonder, could I wrangle one of you fine folks into writing a brief report from the event?

Pros, cons, anything that comes to mind.

1,000 words... Comes pretty quick, once you start.

Would be a great help for Kitelife. ;)
