2020 Emerald Coast Quad Clinic


John Barresi

Recommended Posts

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.

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. 🙏🏻

Ok folks, our payment gateway appears to be working properly now!

@ruthl1, @Deke Haid, @Melissa Wallace - should be all set now, no further action necessary. ;)

@Wooljr's subscription is also good now, so feel free to sign up for the clinic if you like!

@Fosgatekc and @Mark Jones, your accessory orders have processed and we'll ship ASAP. ✌️

Any tips on lodging?

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.

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. 🙏🏻

Is it possible to bring a few leader sets with you? If so, I'd like 4 please. Color not an issue.
