John Barresi Posted November 3, 2013 Report Posted November 3, 2013 Wow, was this ever a whirlwind of a happening... In roughly 48 hours, this went from me wondering about taking a couple weeks somewhere warmer to film a whole new batch of tutorials to doing exactly that, PLUS clinics on two different weekends! Dec 07-08, 2013: Emerald Coast Rev Clinic (ECRC) Dec 14-15, 2013: Emerald Coast Sportkite Clinic (ECSC) The Emerald Coast Kite Flyers Club has been very forthcoming with local assistance during my filming sessions, so we're making both these clinics a STEAL at just $35 individual registration for two full days of instruction and fun at Noriega Point in beautiful Destin, FL. Can we say water flying?? Sick of the cold already like me? Flee south! 4 Quote
John Barresi Posted November 3, 2013 Author Report Posted November 3, 2013 Update as of now: 8 slots gone for the Rev Clinic, 4 left open. 2 slots gone for the Sportkite Clinic, 10 left open. I have a feeling the last 4 Rev spots are going to go quick. 1 Quote
Nick Russell Posted November 3, 2013 Report Posted November 3, 2013 Darn, first winter in years we won't be in Florida for the winter Quote
trigger Posted November 3, 2013 Report Posted November 3, 2013 This couldn't have happened at a better time! I've been looking for an excuse to get down and visit the EC guys... A little schooling from J.B and a reason to get out of Michigan in winter.... Was the perfect push i needed. See ya there! Sent from my SCH-S720C using Tapatalk 2 3 Quote
John Barresi Posted November 3, 2013 Author Report Posted November 3, 2013 I keep coming back to this topic just so I can look at the photo in the lead post. Can't wait, this is going to be crazy fun AND educational. 1 Quote
mystainedskin Posted November 3, 2013 Report Posted November 3, 2013 Ya....I wish my side of Florida looked like that. That white sand really sets the water off. 2 Quote
SparkieRob Posted November 3, 2013 Report Posted November 3, 2013 I was jealous BEFORE, then I took a closer look. Perfect white sand on a spur, water on 3 sides. Almost makes me want to move. Tell an Aussie something, from what I've learned from US TV shows isn't Florida where everyone retires.....? Really jealous of the marked spot. Have a ball all. 1 Quote
Nick Russell Posted November 3, 2013 Report Posted November 3, 2013 No, SparkieRob, only half of the Americans retire to Florida. The rest go to Arizona. 3 Quote
mystainedskin Posted November 3, 2013 Report Posted November 3, 2013 Too funny! A lot do.....alot of snowbirds also.. 2 Quote
John Barresi Posted November 4, 2013 Author Report Posted November 4, 2013 Down to 3 open spaces for the Rev Clinic! Still 9 spaces open for Sportkite Clinic (dual)! Oh man, getting excited! 2 Quote
RaginCajun Posted November 4, 2013 Report Posted November 4, 2013 Maybe this will help fill the remaining spots... Taken last week! 4 Quote
RaginCajun Posted November 4, 2013 Report Posted November 4, 2013 The above pic is not actually at Noriega Point, but Pensacola Beach. Quote
mystainedskin Posted November 4, 2013 Report Posted November 4, 2013 Careful now! You might start a stampede! 2 Quote
trigger Posted November 4, 2013 Report Posted November 4, 2013 Boy that dual clinic looks good too! I dont think i can get a week off though but who knows Sent from my SCH-S720C using Tapatalk 2 1 Quote
RaginCajun Posted November 4, 2013 Report Posted November 4, 2013 You need about 10 days off Jim, figuring travel time and all. Quote
mystainedskin Posted November 4, 2013 Report Posted November 4, 2013 I don't think I can do both of them..lord knows I need the dual line lessons...but I could possibly hang out a day or three longer after the Rev Clinic if mischief is going on or help is needed with anything. 1 Quote
trigger Posted November 4, 2013 Report Posted November 4, 2013 I may be lookin at a couple xtra days myself. Never know if someone needs a kite monkey. Plus...its winter in Michigan!!! Sent from my SCH-S720C using Tapatalk 2 Quote

mystainedskin Posted November 9, 2013 Report Posted November 9, 2013 It is very beautiful. I went to Pensacola when I first started getting into kiting. Flew right by the pier. I have some pictures somewhere with the snapshot 1.2 and the water tower in the background. The water reminds me of the Virgin Islands............one day....sigh.. 1 Quote
trigger Posted November 13, 2013 Report Posted November 13, 2013 Do we have any spots left for the Rev Clinic? Was thinking about taking a road trip partner. 1 Quote

John Barresi Posted December 3, 2013 Author Report Posted December 3, 2013 FYI folks, I will have some used Revs for sale during the clinic. Got some kites I can let go, and all funds will go toward bringing our car up to 100% stable condition. Some real treasures, and a few beaters as well - all price ranges! 3 Quote
SparkieRob Posted December 3, 2013 Report Posted December 3, 2013 Talk about incentive to book a place. Opportunity to own a "Masters Piece". 2 Quote
