John Barresi Posted January 7, 2020 Report Share Posted January 7, 2020 Join us for two full days of in-depth roundtable quad instruction for all skill levels with 31-time US champion John Barresi at Johnson's Beach near Pensacola FL on February 22-23, 2020... This is the workshop for folks who want to build up their solo skills and the very basics of team flying! Exact location - https://goo.gl/maps/3eQTPjfRmtH6iRSp8 We'll be covering everything from absolute basics (pure beginner) all the way up through advanced techniques and team flying, as well as identifying short flight routines that are sure to help your skills along while having fun at the same time. Saturday morning is always a group presentation, full 101 on the ins and outs of quad kites, equipment and related theory, this covers a metric ton of stuff that even the "pros" think they know, but don't... From there, we usually go through the fundamentals of clean launching, landing and control methods... Students then break up onto their own kites to work on the "homework" (maneuver combinations) that I'll distribute beforehand, during which instructor(s) will make the rounds between each flier, offering supporting instruction, as well as addressing individual interests. Sunday is the same without a 101 presentation, followed by a couple hours (or more) of team skills introduction to close out the day. Students will use their own kites, any line length will work (80'-90' is very common) but 120' length will be required for team exercises. Must be spectra or Skybond lines for team flying. Testimonials - http://tinyurl.com/jb-testimonials == Registration is $150 per person and includes full access to the clinic on both days (10a-4p), discounted to $125 for KiteLife subscribers.

John Barresi Posted January 11, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2020 We're actually having problems with our credit card gateway here on the forum so everyone who registered using a credit card got a process that looks complete, charge is appearing on their statement, but the payment actually failed on our side so the registrations have NOT completed and the apparent charges should void themselves soon if not already. Affected: @Melissa Wallace, @Deke Haid, @ruthl1 Also affected, one member who tried to subscribe to KiteLife using a credit card: @Wooljr Terribly sorry for the inconvenience, I'm having our tech support look at the issue - in lieu of a timely solution, I may need to make payment arrangements with you directly in order to finalize your sign ups once you've verified that you've not actually been charged. 🙏🏻 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Barresi Posted January 11, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2020 Also, two orders for leaders have failed the same way for: @Fosgatekc and @Mark Jones These orders are not in process until I figure out the payment issue. 🙏🏻 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonFibonacci Posted January 13, 2020 Report Share Posted January 13, 2020 Quick question from a beach-flying newbie - I only have golf ball stakes made from "standard" tent stakes, probably about 10-12 inches long. Is that sufficient for this clinic? If not, what would you recommend? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Barresi Posted January 13, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2020 One foot stake should be a-ok. 👍🏻 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure there's anything actually in Perdido Key but Orange Beach, Gulf Shores, downtown Pensacola is what's close. I'm actually tent camping a couple miles away at Big Lagoon State Park.

If so, I'd like 4 please. Color not an issue. On 1/15/2020 at 12:03 PM, DonFibonacci said: Any tips on lodging? Not sure there's anything actually in Perdido Key.
