Thank You Mr. Barresi

[Dean750]

I would like to thank Mr. Barresi for this site and for creating my kiting addiction. In the mid 90's I got the chance to see him fly in a Lincoln City compition. Flying a Red and Black Wasp. The complete control he exibited in 20+mph winds was incredible.

I went from a weekend flyer to an 8 to 10 hours a day freak for a couple of years. At least 5 days a week.

I doubt he remembers that day as the time he has spent in the sport, but I attempted my first ballet that day. Sort of anyway

I was flying a purple M.E.F.M., set up ALL WRONG in too high of a wind. Laughable now, but I thought I'd never try competing again at the time.

It seemed like everyone who had a clue wanted to know what I was thinking with the set up. If only I would have left the 6" wind tamer on instead of spazin about snagging it on the flat spin I had planned.

Anyway, thank you Mr. Barresi for giving me the drive to be as perfect as I could be.

Oh man, what can I say to that?

Thank you Dean, I'm really pleased that you found joy in kiting... That's enough for me.

Happy to help, when and where I can!
