Of all the things my neighbor flagged me down on my way home from work. He and his wife stopped and told me the Secretary of the state kite association told them over the weekend I had signed up. They both fly and make quads. They offered to show me the ropes and try out a few different kites. They also gave me some connections and gave us some campground tips for the the kite festival in Long Beach this summer. I don’t know who was more excited me or them. Either way I am great full for all of the comments and how open the community seems to be. Could not ask for nicer people. cheers! Jerry

That's an amazing find. Fly with them every chance you get.

I started my quad journey with an SLE on 80ft lines, self taught for my first 3-4 months until I found this site. I've owned revs, phoenix, bazzer eyes along with a few others, I found most started to fall apart within 3-4 months usually problems with the leading edge, I now just have my Djinns and have off loaded everything else. I'd say definitely watch and study all the Kitelife tutorials, setup and demantle everything the same way each time, will cut down on problems for sure eventually you'll find your own way. If you can find others to fly with cool, that's a rare situation for me I'm pretty much a solo flyer, plenty of online resources to get you going. Enjoy your journey for me it's a real source.

I have a raptor 20 red white blue with two 50 ft tails

You should buy what you like. The Vented B Series is a nice kite indeed. I don't think you'll find anyone with anything bad to say about @John Barresi's contribution to the Rev line of kites. He advanced them a long ways in design and functionality. The topic start here was, there are other options beginning to gain more acceptance in the community.. Once the first of the year rolls around, the B Series will no longer be available from Rev. They are already posturing a new product but alternatives are now numerous.. This was about gathering speculation on the alternatives.. sort of a preemptive "Alternatives to the Rev" threads we see every so often. With The changes at Rev, and other offerings available from different directions, I wanted to get into the thought processes of those like yourself considering another quad for whatever reason..
