John Barresi Posted September 12, 2016 Report Share Posted September 12, 2016 Brought back due to popular demand! Yes indeed, the "win your very own JB for a Weekend" event is on again... YOURS TO WIN: All-day access for THREE FULL DAYS to pick my brain, learn and play, solo or team, dual or quad, indoor or outdoor, water flying, urban kiting, dogstake, competition skills, you name it, hang out, name anything (legal and platonic) that we can fit into three days and I'd genuinely love to participate with you.TERMS: I will quite literally be somebody's (or a group's) private instructor, kite bag boy, workshop presenter, team trainer or simple arm candy for all three days, the winner can share me around with other local fliers, your team, a club, or just keep the fun all to themselves. I will cover my own flight to meet with the winner at any major International airport in the Continental USA (using Star Alliance air miles) on a mutually agreed date (any season), but no sooner than 21 days after the drawing. Winner provides basic lodging (couch or floorspace is acceptable) and local transportation for duration of the agreed visit, as it relates to the airport (pick up / drop off), kite flying and sleeping arrangements. Entry into this drawing is $10 per ticket with no limit to the number you can buy, all ticket numbers will be issued to the buyer via email (no refunds). Drawing day will be December 1st, 2016, using RANDOM.ORG's 3RD PARTY DRAW SERVICE. Quote The Third-Party Draw Service is useful for people who operate raffles, sweepstakes, promotional giveaways and other lottery type services professionally. In a similar fashion to a certified official, RANDOM.ORG acts as an unbiased third party who conducts the drawings in a manner that is guaranteed to be fair and truly random. The drawings are made using true randomness that comes from atmospheric noise, which for many purposes is better than the pseudo-random number algorithms typically used in computer programs. Main terms apply to mainland US entrants only (takes lots more air miles to go abroad), unless an International (or Hawaii, Guam, etc) participant is willing to cover the airfare under the same terms otherwise. NOTE: If you are near the US border in Canada or Mexico, we can also arrange for the major US airport nearest to you and do a pick-up / ride-across arrangement from there as long as those local arrangements are made by the winner. IMPORTANT: There is a reserve of 100 tickets that must be sold to make this economical on my end (cost of travel and approximately 5 days away), the drawing may be extended if the reserve is not reached. By purchasing tickets, you acknowledge full understanding of all the terms above. NOTE: Tickets can NOT be ordered via TapaTalk or the KiteLife App, please visit the link below using a web browser (mobile or desktop).

Thanks so much everyone - your support and help is profoundly appreciated! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rates - http://johnbarresi.com/kite-lessons-instruction/#lessons Of course, this doesn't include travel expense and lodging (but I fly economy and even a couch will suffice). In many cases, it's actually cheaper for a student to fly me in and put me up than it is to join a clinic with hotel, gas, etc. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P.V. Nguyen Posted September 20, 2016 Report Share Posted September 20, 2016 One or two weekends with JB would make a big difference in one's skills. Be it a beginner or experienced flyer, or just a non-kite flyer picking his brain :-) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
