Mike Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 I've never been to this festival, can any of you east-coast folks tell me what's it's like? Is there room for me to fly my Rev on the beach or is it one of those really, really crowded festivals? thanks all, Mike Kory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Barresi Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 TONS of room Mike... I'm not east coast, but I've been to the event a few times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted March 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 Any other info, like, is it lots of fun? Is it mostly for competitors? Is it worth the 14 hour drive from Illinois? John, sounds like you're going to be there--is it as a competitor or as iQuad? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quad KiT Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 Ant should be able to comment on this. He lives there. I plan on attending for the first time this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Barresi Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 iQuad won't be able to make it this year... Wildwood organizers elected to invite the Quad Squad (an east coast quad team) instead of us. Besides, I already have an engagement in Istanbul for that weekend.

ant man Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 OH MAN BUMMER NO I QUAD and i want and got some blank tapes too as a person that lives 5 minutes from the festival location it is the best a large beach and all kinds of events last year was a good turnout with trick attacks and som good quadlines the festival is hosted by AKA and ive been attending them for many years i hope alot of you come down or up so we can all fly together you will love it here the winds are always good and the people are friendly but most of all the beach is the best for flying any type of kites that you have mike it is more fun then competive i like fun festivals because i dont compete i find it better to just go and fly for the fact that i dont know many tricks and its more of a chore then relaxation if you compete people espect to much of you as a competitor then just a person to just meet up and fly with i met alot of cool fliers over the years here and you will to hope to see you come out its worth the drive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quad KiT Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 umm why have I never heard of "Quad Squad?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ant man Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 ive heard of them but never seen them peform ive only heard a few things at festivals but nothing more still im bummed about I QUAD not comeing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkey Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 ive heard of them but never seen them peform ive only heard a few things at festivals but nothing more still im bummed about I QUAD not comeing Ah well, there's always next year. It's somewhat good for me to not go as I have Police tickets for their north american tour opening night anyways. But, still, I've yet to make it to that festival despite wanting to go for many years. Also, on a different level, I'm pleased to see more quad teams in North America, so, more power to the Quad Squad I say, good on them. I can understand the budget concerns on getting us out there, it can become expensive quickly if you have to import flyers in from the west coast. Just come on out to WSIKF this year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quad KiT Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 Are ya gonna import us out there? Yeah, I'm encouraged to see any quad fliers, I just have never heard of them before? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Barresi Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 Quad Squad is brand new, formed by Steve Santos after his visit with iQuad at last year's WSIKF. I got all this info 2nd hand, haven't had any communications from our quad brethren in the east. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcruzzer Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 Ah well, there's always next year. It's somewhat good for me to not go as I have Police tickets for their north american tour opening night anyways. But, still, I've yet to make it to that festival despite wanting to go for many years. Well, if you REALLY want to go to Wildwood, I'd be glad to use those Police tickets so that they don't go to waste Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Barresi Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 Or, if you want to attend a real festival... Come see us at WSIKF. The whole town of Long Beach gets behind the event, it's a week long, and has more kiter attendees (these days). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
