Hello John, and all,
I bought a revolution kite in 2014 (actually a rev 1.5 'john barresi'), but never found time to fly it. I went out to blackheath (london, uk) to try and fly it today and found it much more difficult than my power kite (which is only a 1.5m foil).
I figured I'd join the forum and see if i can get any pointers of meet any locals around here. i'm hoping its because i went out at a bad time (2pm) and there wasnt much good wind.
Anyway - nice to meet you all!
