Hello,

I still remember when I first saw a rev kite: it was a Rev II, blue with a bright pink logo in a shop which is since long closed called Sundance in Modena, Italy. I was there with my father who wanted to make me a gift for something school related or maybe a birthday. We walked out with a 2 lines stunt, Alivola Storm, which needed a ton of wind, flew insanely fast and resisted many crashes. But I still remember that odd double triangle shape with high contrast colours.

I've since moved to London and I now have a daughter, my father loaned us a parafoil from Decathlon and I discovered two things: first is that there is always a lot of wind here and second that my daughter enjoys flying kite 

So I did it, I'm back into kites and I decided that it is time to try how four lines feels like.

If you happen to be at the Blackheath common or Avery Hill Park or some other SE park and you find a young girl flying a big red parafoil and someone crashing an orange EXP it is probably us. Come say hi!

Thanks!
