dragonfish Posted June 2, 2015 Report Posted June 2, 2015 Who here has plans for going? Is it too late to make plans? Dates are August 17-23, 2015. 1 Quote
John Barresi Posted June 2, 2015 Report Posted June 2, 2015 TK and I will be there starting Friday the week before, so roughly 10 days of GLORIOUS kite flying. 1 Quote
Wayne Dowler Posted June 2, 2015 Report Posted June 2, 2015 Plan to be there, just not sure of the days yet. At least Monday thru Monday, but last couple, got up on Friday before and stayed til Mon/Tues. All depends on family situations! 1 Quote

Dave362 Posted June 3, 2015 Report Posted June 3, 2015 can't make it myself... Very busy time at work every year. never have made this festival Quote
dragonfish Posted June 3, 2015 Author Report Posted June 3, 2015 Any tips on where to stay? I know places get booked early so I hope I am not out of luck. Are there any places other than the hotels I would find by looking at googlemaps or a travel website? Better yet, any ladies looking for a roommate or has an extra space to share? Thanks. Quote
applewpb Posted June 3, 2015 Report Posted June 3, 2015 My wife and I will be there for 8 days, making a vacation out of it. We booked our rooms back in December when we saw how quickly they we being taken. It will be our second kite festival, just returned from Wildwood and we had a blast. Hoping to meet some other flyers and getting some instruction from Mr. Barresi! Mark 3 Quote
deerislandbrew Posted June 4, 2015 Report Posted June 4, 2015 I'll be there with my wife from Tuesday through the end of the festival. We booked camping sites at Cape Disappointment state park earlier in the year, as it goes fully reserved for the summer months. I'm looking forward to over a week of flying! Quote
cyclic Posted June 8, 2015 Report Posted June 8, 2015 Kari and I will be there starting the 8th and leaving on the 23rd. We can't wait! Quote
AzKiter Posted June 9, 2015 Report Posted June 9, 2015 I might be there.. I have a hotel booked in Astoria, oregon Sunday thru Wednesday. We will see how the flight prices pan out.. 1 Quote
dragonfish Posted July 1, 2015 Author Report Posted July 1, 2015 Just booked my flights. Getting in late on Saturday the 15th and staying through the 23rd. And thanks to JB and TKS, I have lodging all set too. 2 Quote
kwmf Posted July 1, 2015 Report Posted July 1, 2015 For those not on Facebook .... the ninja will be making a return this year I have a lot of things I'd like to do - spending time working with JB, team, learning some dual skills, teaching / helping advising, getting new people on the handles, etc. More importantly, please make sure to come bother me and chat. There will be lots of flying, but I'd really like people to come chat with me ... don't worry if I'm busy, I can fly and talk at the same time. 2 Quote
kwmf Posted July 1, 2015 Report Posted July 1, 2015 I'll probably be there Friday evening (14th), but I'm getting into Seattle on the 12th if anyone is in the area before I head down to Long Beach. Leaving Long Beach on Monday (24th) after the festival and heading to Portland. Leaving Portland for home on Wednesday evening. Quote
Wayne Dowler Posted July 2, 2015 Report Posted July 2, 2015 You will find many ninjas waiting!! 1 Quote
IdahoFlyer Posted July 4, 2015 Report Posted July 4, 2015 I will be there for the weekend. My first kite festival, and the first time I'll see other Rev fliers in person. Scary. Hope to see you all there! 1 Quote
Wayne Dowler Posted July 5, 2015 Report Posted July 5, 2015 Scary?? Meeting some of the best Rev fliers from all over?? More like a great chance to learn and play with some of the best - first hand!! You aren't bound to fly in teams or anything, just there to have fun. And meeting those that think alike is just icing on the cake!!!! 2 Quote
SparkieRob Posted July 6, 2015 Report Posted July 6, 2015 Don't trust them... It will be like, "hey just hold this for a second" and all of a sudden you find yourself in the middle of a line, clenching your teeth... Nah, jump straight in. Fly through the nerves. Opportunities may not come up for a while. Plus, you can replace gear not memories. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote
Wayne Dowler Posted July 6, 2015 Report Posted July 6, 2015 Damn plan revealed!!! LOL!!! My 1st WSIKF was the 64 record fly and I was only there when they did 56. No pressure, no demands, I got to fly with some of the finest Rev pilots with no bother to my poor skills at the time. I was just getting back into kiting after my stroke and hip replacements. Still overcoming a bunch of personal issues, but overcame those issues to befriend what has become a growing circle of friends I can't wait to see - every time!! 1 Quote
dragonfish Posted July 6, 2015 Author Report Posted July 6, 2015 IdahoFlyer, you might be thinking scary, but I hope you're thinking exciting even more than scary. You might get roped into a line, but those who rope you into it will likely have been watching you fly and have assessed your abilities. Yes, definitely fly through the nerves. The worst thing to do is to not fly with others and regret it later, especially if you would have to wait a long time for anther opportunity. If you're worried about inadvertently tangling lines with others, it's not as bad as you might think. It's happened to most if not all of us. It's even happened to me on the main demo field at a festival. Untangle and keep flying. It will just be another story to laugh over later. I've been at WSIKF for a day before. I can't wait to be there for a whole week this year. 2 Quote
IdahoFlyer Posted July 7, 2015 Report Posted July 7, 2015 Yeah, scary might have been overstating it. Excited is a better word. Looking forward to the whole experience. 1 Quote
Wayne Dowler Posted July 7, 2015 Report Posted July 7, 2015 Look for me under the blue hat and googles on!! 1 Quote
John Barresi Posted July 10, 2015 Report Posted July 10, 2015 Don't be shy, we're all just fliers, we love to share the passion - it's a level playing field. 1 Quote
