beach Posted February 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 Well as I get ready for Kite Party here close to home I have to say I can't wait and thats for a lot of reason and the big one for me is Dave S. and they way he puts an event together.... Kite Party for me is about just enjoying the company of other fliers and getting to spend some time with the local fliers cause I'm away so much.... Also I really like Huntinton Beach Ca. and it's pretty close to home and with the addition of the guys from the UK I just can't wait..... So if you need to bring anything give me a holler and I'll do my best....Ben :blue-cool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you remember a team called Vertigo? Guy called Michael Richards had a shop up on Coogee Beach really nice guy he and his team came for a sleepover at my place just before World Cup a few years back, Greg Franz came back a little while back - the team had disbanded, was wondering if any of theese guys still fly.

No malice taken, all done in fun. There are a number of Rev flyers scattered far and wide, but we may get a few in Adelaide next week, as Ben will be over here to join in the activities at the Adelaide Kite Festival. I don't know of any of very many flyers, never heard of the guys you mentioned. There are only two or three shops which carry a very limited number of Rev kites, in fact I think they almost import to customer requirements.

OK, these guys go back a few years, and Aus is a BIG country... What about Curleys kites up in Cairns have your heard of that? So do you fly alone in Adelaide? or are there other Rev flyers?

When I do fly, I fly alone, hence the learning curve has been very slow. I have been to Cairns, but that was before I took up kite flying. As you said, Australia is a big country, about 4000km between Melbourne and Cairns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
