Theresa Posted July 22, 2010 Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 So the AKA membership DOES provide liability for members outside of the USA? Bart Hi Bart, Yes, at sanctioned events in the USA and CANADA.

bartman Posted July 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 Thanks. I guess this is the easiest route to take although I do wish they had a price point that did not include the magazine which is probably the biggest portion of the expense and something I would just rather not have.

Felix Posted July 22, 2010 Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 Hi Bart, Yes, at sanctioned events in the USA and CANADA. This link may answer some of your questions: http://www.aka.kite.org/mbrship.shtml Hi Theresa, Thanks for your input. It seems that outsiders will have to sign a disclaimer saying that they are not covered by the AKA insurance at the event. As a member of STACK I find that their insurance cover does not extend to the USA. The AKA cover will not extend outside the USA/Canada. So, it seems that, to obtain equivalent cover outsiders will have to pay a higher price to get the same cover as USA fliers because of 'nominal postal charges' for something that is not of particular relevance to the practical issue of 'on site' insurance. Please do not take this the 'wrong way'. I would like to see this resolved sensibly <grins> Could we be accommodated as 'guests' of the AKA sanctioned event?

KiteLife Posted July 22, 2010 Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 Such inquires would be best made to WSIKF organizers ( jane [at] kitefestival [dot] com ) or the AKA directly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Weider Posted July 25, 2010 Report Share Posted July 25, 2010 It's not really the Rev fliers that concern me as much as everyone else who may happen along at the wrong time. Bart Hi Bart, I'll give you a target to start, RICH Comras loves wearing REV's give him a go, he'll be glad to service your target practice.

bartman Posted July 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2010 I'm sure you will be all targets at one point or another! Just stay away from the part of the beach I am going to stake out even further away from everyone and you'll all be much safer! Bart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KiteLife Posted July 26, 2010 Report Share Posted July 26, 2010 Yeah Dano! http://www.funbeach.com is Long Beach's "home" web site, lots of info there. Edgewater Inn is the absolute closest to the Rev field, but are likely booked. Many places are already booked solid, but you could start a rotation of calls between 4-5 of them, checking for cancellations every 4-7 days.

bartman Posted July 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 Maybe that is the name for the mega-team, but I was thinking of that team that has indicated they wants to crowd around me (after those waivers are signed off on) and share my air space. Maybe something like "Joes vs Pros" or "Oh My God did you see that he just took out all of us? WTF is he doing here?" Will that fit on a T-shirt?

portlandflyer Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 (edited) Watching this thread The Misfits comes to mind!! We should all find Bart and surround him!!! Then we'll all get over our fear together!! Just a thought!!! Just print plenty of waivers we may need 'em!!!

bartman Posted July 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 (edited) "Bart's Boys (and the girl)"? Can't forget about Laura and TK signing on. "The Misfits" is hilarious! Perfect for me and any of the others that are uncomfortable with a lot of kites in the same space. I'll buy a package of 500 sheets and print the waiver. That could be enough for triplicates... Can we get our own field for the carnage to take place on? Bart Edited July 27, 2010 by bartman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
portlandflyer Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 (edited) How much damage can we do!!! I can see it now --BEWARE NEW TEAM FLYERS IN ACTION!!! Some tangled lines, frayed nerves, FUN!!!! Maybe one of the more experienced will dare to help us!! At his or her own risk, that is!!!!!
