I've had a less than great experience with Kent at AWOC. No one answers the phone, and in my case no return call. Doesn't answer emails promptly. Had a question about a messed up bridle on a kite I bought from him. He only got back to me after I contacted the manufacturer. Was going to order a Revolution Blast from him, but it was taking way too long and decided to cancel the order. At a bare minimum, a kite shop should return emails and/or return phone calls in a timely manner. Kent seems like a nice guy, but I require a greater level of customer support than he can provide.

Don't you live in San Francisco? It was nice meeting you last week.

It really looks beautiful in the sky. The pattern with the black/yellow looks very cool.

Hey dragonfish, Thank you. I've made a few friends on here already. Riffclown said you fly a purple fade to black Rev, so I've been keeping an eye out for it. I just got an orange flying wings Vamp Devil today that I intend to try out this weekend. It looks fairly legit and it's huge! I hope it doesn't suck. I hope I see you out there sometime and thanks for the welcome.

Love Veraton! So be it. Done deal.

Yup, it'll be me lol. Hard to hide flying this one. Hopefully I'll have it by next weekend. Been awhile since I've flown a Rev 2. They are hard to come by so I'm super excited.

Ok, I think I've found the best/easiest solution. 10 lb dumbbell (I have already) placed in backpack with carbiner attached to top loop of backpack. Thanks for all the great suggestions.

Yes, another good idea. I only bring kites and a backpack. I would need to place something a little bit heavier (bag of rocks) or something in backpack. Definitely doable. Better yet, a reusable shopping bag with a brick or 2 with carabiner might work best.

These are both good ideas thanks.

Usually when I fly on the grass, I get flanked on both sides by families with single string kites that have NO idea that they're too close. Depending on the wind direction, the grass area can get real turbulent wind.

Haha, yes but a rank amateur compared to most of the flyers on the forum. Paul mentioned magic stick to me and the advantages they provide. Totally forgot they act as a kick stand as well. Great suggestion!

Lol, yes Shoreline. I'm used to flying in Monterey/Marina beaches where there's plenty of sand to hold the kite down. It's difficult to fly quads when the kite, lines, and handles are moving down wind without you. Walking back would probably be easier with a 2 string kite. Found a Prism stake that might work.

What's the best method for staking a kite in very hard dirt? I'm using tent pegs, but the ground where I fly is like concrete and the pegs usually just fall over.

It looks perfect.

It looks amazing! 😀

This looks very cool. Does it have twin verticals on both sides?

Yes, Revs will always be my go to kites. Just wanted to try something different. Riffclown is making me a custom rev- can't wait 😀.

Are there any non rev like quads like Volksquad, HQ Meteor, Vamp Devil, Fulcrum, etc. that are fun and worth buying?

Hey John, I assumed that your redesign of the Rev 2 was a labor of love. Did you consider this project as only to broaden the customer base? Many people seem to love and enjoy it.

Are there any plans for a smaller 72" version?

Can you explain the difference between the series 1,2, and 3D please? Thanks
