John Barresi Posted June 8, 2008 Report Share Posted June 8, 2008 I did two such workshops in 2006 for the World Kite Museum in Long Beach (WA), with 20+ participants at each... If there's enough interest shown, I might be interested in putting one together again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FORCE1 Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 I'd consider it for sure. Date and place? Living in Colorado I've given up on a workshop here so I'm willing to travel. Will be in Vancouver this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Barresi Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 Too early to say, depends on the amount of interest, and what my schedule looks like in a month or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drewpy Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 I'm in, depending upon dates, of course. Any chance of putting one together at Ocean Shores? Seems to be more lodging options than at Long Beach. Drewpy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Barresi Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 It's feasible, will bear it in mind if this comes through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dean750 Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 Maybe we should get a fund going for Dean so he could come to the clinic if it happens. well it's a thought anyway. And I keep hearing it's the thought that counts. Dean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Kite Shoppe Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 I'd consider it for sure. Date and place? Living in Colorado I've given up on a workshop here so I'm willing to travel. Will be in Vancouver this weekend. Which Vancouver? WA or BC? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dean750 Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 So what about the Dean fund? Is someone out there working on this. I know your all rich compared to me. I can fly two kites at once and trick (very little in todays standards), I can weind lines, pack kites, hand out buisness cards, tutor on old school stuff, teach a person how to be gental and full of finesse and help people tune thier kites to thier needs.

sirrom Posted June 21, 2008 Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 I did two such workshops in 2006 for the World Kite Museum in Long Beach (WA), with 20+ participants at each...If there's enough interest shown, I might be interested in putting one together again. I'm in Southern Oregon and Lincoln City would be good. A clinic would be great. I had John help me with my Rev and his Jump in Crescent City last year for five minutes and this helped a lot. I would love this if I could make it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlyinKen Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 I am also interested. I am still waiting to do my first axel. Seems like on days with good wind for practice, I am stuck doing something else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Barresi Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 Looks like we might have seven people interested thus far... Really, I'd need to do at least 15 total. Registration would probably be $35 per person, for a whole weekend of training on dual line kites.

Dean750 Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 Since it's so close to the time I should get my stimulas check I'm in. Dean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sky fish Posted June 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 Well l if we can manage to get a few more in on this I am also wanting to do better axles and all that . Come on everyone let's make this happen. Good summer wind's And a beach weekend sound's like heaven. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoneZ Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 Perhaps Cannon Beach for a lesson place? Check this map out http://tinyurl.com/3s8cho The section I've highlighted is my frequent flier spot. Theres almost nobody there, due to the river that cuts off that section of the beach, and not a lot of people (ie. tourists) know the other access points. You can either cross the river at low tide, or use 5th street to access that section. Just a suggestion. <--getting excited for this class Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Articles on the topic... http://www.kitelife.com/magazine/issue48/w...w06/content.php http://www.kitelife.com/magazine/issue50/w...s50/content.php John, I could get a few more of my group to attend, however, it is all just talk until we nail down a date. It is impossible to plan without a specific date, schedules for the remaining summer months are getting tight, as are hotel rooms, etc.... I am looking at August, for instance. There is SeaFair, Summer Heat at Ocean Shores and the Kite Festival at Long Beach. Does not leave much room for another event for most of us. That said, if you could provide a weekend date for such an event, I would be able to confirm my attendance. If Ocean Shores is a possible course location, I could guarantee the minimum number of 15 attendees. I will plan to see you at the Westport Windriders event in a few weeks. Please be sure to bring card sets and dvd's. Drewpy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Barresi Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 Sorry to say, it does not appear that iQuad will be attending Westport... Summer Heat is up in the air as well. We've put in SO many hours (and expenses) thus far, it's tough to conscience those trips at the moment. Key is, we just got our DVDs in and have them for sale, but won't have enough sales opportunities before Westport to raise funds for travel to that event.
