Hi Everyone,

My name is Justin. I am new to the forums so I hope this is posted in the right place. I recently got the kiting bug and I am considering going to the WSIKF in August. I live in Hawaii, and I have never been to Long Beach or the Washington coast, only the Seattle/Vancouver area. I 've never been to a kite festival before either, so I don't know what to expect. Just looking for some advice on planning this trip. If anyone has any essential information that they wish they had their first time at WSIKF, it would be appreciated.

Thanks!

I totally encourage it. WSIKF is where I first picked up a stunt kite, and I've been back every year since. It's a huge beach, and a huge festival with a lot going on. The only thing to know is that this festival is quite popular, and the hotels have a tendency to run out of rooms, so best to book your reservations early.

Welcome to KiteLife :D

Hear hear... WSIKF is the bomb. :)

You're not likely to get as much exposure to all things kiting anywhere else in North America.

That, and there's TONS of room for everyone.

Past reports:

2009 - http://www.kitelife....festival-wsikf/

2010 - http://www.kitelife....festival-wsikf/

2010 buzz - http://www.kitelife....d-record-wsikf/

2011 - http://www.kitelife....ikf-the-wallet/

We have other reports from previous years, but they're still being transferred to the new format. ;)

Hope to see you there Justin, you'll have friends on the Rev field!
