This workshop is specifically tailored for first time, beginner and intermediate Rev fliers who want to grow their skills and try their hand at team flying - if you're able to launch, hold a basic upright hover for a few seconds, fly a little left, a little a right and back down to the ground (land), you're ready for this class!

Saturday morning is a group presentation, full 101 roundtable on the ins and outs of quad equipment and related theory, this covers a metric ton of stuff that even the "pros" think they know.

From there, we usually go through the fundamentals of clean launching, landing and control methods, then on to rotating one on one instruction on fundamentals, building up to fun and forgiving exercises for quad team flying - if this is your first clinic, please be ON TIME for the Quad 101 at 10am on Saturday morning.

Sunday will focus primarily on remedial and "level up" exercises with everyone, and start in much earlier on fundamental team flying.

Although instruction will be given on any length lines, fliers MUST bring 120 ft lines to participate in team flying as it requires everyone to be on matching length lines.

Registration is $175 for two full days of learning (discounted to $150 for KiteLife Subscribers), schedule is 10a-4pm on both Saturday and Sunday.

(the Sunsations festival is also happening on the same weekend, so we'll likely be flying near the Sid Snyder approach instead of Bolstad)

Fliers bring their own equipment, and we do generally break for lunch in the middle of the day (a packed lunch makes for lovely midday conversation and relaxation) - please DO bring some rain gear in case we get sprinkled on, as well as UV protection and plenty of water.

Before then, I strongly encourage you to browse these FREE video tutorials for some pre-workshop study...

If you need any equipment prior to the event, we encourage you to check out our long time NW supporter The Kite Shoppe for a full variety of kites and parts.

RSVP so far:

Hope to see more of you there!

Good catch, we'll adjust and fly down near (or immediately south of) the Sid Snyder approach... I have everyone's cell and will text the exact spot on the beach to everyone once I get the lay of the land, there will certainly be space somewhere. :)
