Mike Klaiber Posted August 7, 2016 Report Share Posted August 7, 2016 A fellow I recently met kept saying "you gotta want it", so today, with my new Zen, I worked on recovering that 50' and gliding! I wanted it enough to get it but whew! It's thick out here on the east coast. Thanks Paul for making me see the work pays off!

Mike Klaiber Posted August 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2016 Sorry for duplicates, error and did not know posting... Yes it was at ODSKC that I decided a Zen needed to be in my bag. Just felt right. Seems like that's the winds I have had to fly with since then too.Sent from my iPhone using KiteLife mobile app 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riffclown Posted August 7, 2016 Report Share Posted August 7, 2016 I almost went to Dorey Today for the RAF First Sunday Fly but decided to stay local instead.. Same "non-winds" down here on the peninsula. I Don't have a Zen but have a few sails for light conditions.. Still working through some of the advice that Paul sent my way that day as well.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"He knows everything that can be known. I know the rest." He's definitely a resource you can learn from..and doesn't mind sharing the knowledge.

Wayne Dowler Posted August 8, 2016 Report Share Posted August 8, 2016 Sorry - but I've flown with Paul and for sure very talented - but to say he knows it all might be stretching it some! That's what I love about the Rev game - it's a never ending learning experience! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Klaiber Posted August 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2016 Big personality with skills, reminds me of some brain surgeons I know. Lots of "personality" but I want them in my corner and on my team. Being a new quad flyer and limited to rev flyers around my area I have to say I like the LeMasters strut while flying. I watch JB sometimes and am worn out. I also know that wind speed and type of flyer they are has a lot to do with it. I am looking forward to working with JB in Sept and learning some new technique to mimic and slowly develop my own funky chicken to bring to the party.Sent from my iPhone using KiteLife mobile app 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I love about the Rev game - it's a never ending learning experience! He doesn't know everything .. Granted.. He Knows more than me and is willing to share .. Big Plus That's good enough for me.. We're actually in agreement, if you ever stop learning, there's no reason to teach or share.. Someone that knows EVERYTHING, actually knows nothing..As advanced as the top fliers are, I'd almost guarantee they learn new things regularly. There's no other way to stay in the top of the field without doing so. @Paul LaMasters Thank you so much for the pointers at ODSKC 16. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Barresi Posted August 9, 2016 Report Share Posted August 9, 2016 I learn every day I fly, even more on the days I teach or relate what I've already learned to others - perhaps more now than ever, even after 26 years.
