Congrats Darin, enjoy your new kite. :blink:

Will announce a new prize next week, after I'm back from Louisiana.

Is this an April Fool's joke?

I got your info Darin, thanks!

I leave for Louisiana at 5:30am tomorrow morning, back on Monday...

Should be able to ship your kite next week, and as Theresa mentioned above, she's included a line set. ;)

Thanks for being a subscriber!

As for quadding it, possible but not really effective...

However, I did land a dual line kite on a guy's head at Kite Party this year, true story.

I was on one of John Chilese's kites and nailed a really solid fade in perfect wind, could control altitude, position, so sweet.

Too damned funny as well. <grin>

Prize was shipped yesterday Darin (via Priority Mail), be sure to post a photo and your first impressions here! :D

John,

The kite arrived yesterday, safe and sound.

I just opened it up and assembled it this morning. The kite looks GREAT!

Unfortunately, I am not sure when I am going to have a chance to take it out on it's maiden voyage. Work is really crazy for me right now.

At least in San Diego, good weather is not an issue... :)

I will post photos when I get to fly it. (To get shots of it in flight, I will have to shoot photos while my daughter is flying it...)

Thank you again for the kite and thank you to the Kite Shoppe too!

Well, it only took me a month and a half to finally fly the Cesium Access kite that I won. :)

I haven't flown a dual line in a while and it was Prism Quantum. This kite is SO much better!

There was very little wind today, but enough to keep the Cesium in the air for a little while. The Cesium is much smoother and less twitchy. In the low wind, it didn't turn fast, but it was super easy to control.

I had my daughter with me to fly the kite for the first time while I shot some video. I got a chance to fly it a little later. She didn't want to stop flying it!

Here's the video:

Now back to my Rev...

Sitting here with a big goofy grin on my face. I love watching kids enjoy kite flying.

Specialy like those couple of "oh yea" moments.

Thanks for posting the vid, glad you are enjoying the kite.
