Flying my Revolution kites in Okinawa Japan.

I bought this almost a year ago, but never had the courage to take it out on it's first flight over Okinawa. Today, July 15, 2012, was the day and I must say that my JB 1.5 stacked had more pull that the Prism P3. Just trying to take a picture on "solo" was a bit challenging. -

This is one of our local friend in Okinawa Japan flying a Rev for the second time and he did very well. -

7 Jul 2012, Okinawa Japan. The wind was pretty good and it was some serious pull flying these JB 1.5's. The only way I could share some photos is to take a video and do a snapshot pictures afterwards. -

Thanks Baloo, Okinawa does have numerous shops that sell fishing related items. I'll definitely consider visiting those shops and see what they have.

Hello everyone, I need some assistance. In the past I purchased a Rev II from someone and I also received a set of 11" handles with it. I never used them because I already have another set all ready to go. Recently, I took them (handles) out of the bag and put them to use. Initially, they felt different and after looking closely, I noticed that the type of foam cushioning is different. It wasn't the normal firm foam cushioning that I am accustom to. They are very soft and after using them with my shockwave, I could feel the tubes of the handles directly with the palm of my hands through the foam cushioning. Completely different feelings all throughout the flight. Now, I don't just want to get rid of them. I am looking to see if I could purchase the correct type of foam and replace the ones that are currently on the handles as they truly feel ackward. Any ideas, thoughts, guidance from anyone. By the way, my geographical location is a challenge as I am currently located in Okinawa Japan. Thank you in advance!

There's quite a large number of folks waiting for your speedy recovery. . . . and of course hoping that he/she is the lucky one to win the prize! Good luck everyone!

It took some time to get use to this one, but it comes out of my bag quite frequently along with the B-series. -

This Rev I Sedgwick accompanied the 3 Rev B-series in their journey from NC to Okinawa Japan.

These Revolution 1.5 B-Series were previously owned by Reef Runner. Their journey started from CA to NC where they flew in the hands of "Reef Runner" before making their way across the United Sates and the Pacific Ocean to Okinawa Japan. Here they are on their first flight together as a stack in July 2011 in Okinawa Japan. -
Nice looking kite. I wouldn't mind adding this one to my collection. Best of luck to everyone!

Hello everyone and thank you for all the congrats and well wishes in advance for a speedy recovery after trying this power kite. It's typhoon season here in Okinawa where the winds really pick up. On the safety side, I'll keep it locked up and only fly it when the wind is calm and not overwhelmingly strong. I am certain that I'll be seeking for some advice well in advance before I even break it open out on the field and figure out how this thing works. Again, thank you to all and to Kitelife.com for having such a fun place to talk and meet other people who share the same interests even when you're miles away from home. Marvin
