khsidekick Posted September 3, 2017 Report Share Posted September 3, 2017 A clinic with JB will not only improve your skill set, it will change the way you think about kiting as a whole.. As would winning JB for a weekend. Changed the way I fly and look at flying. Fly with intent. Sent from my IPhone 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWharton Posted September 3, 2017 Report Share Posted September 3, 2017 A clinic with JB will not only improve your skill set, it will change the way you think about kiting as a whole.. I was going to do a write up of the clinic and Saint Anne's kite festival, but I cannot put into words how amazing it all was.I personally feel it has enriched my life and not just the kiting side, I have taken so much away with me, and so the journey carries on[emoji4]If anyone has thought about doing a clinic but not done it, just do it! you won't regret it[emoji41]Much love Jeremy.Sent from my SM-G903F using KiteLife mobile app 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HippyChippy Posted September 4, 2017 Report Share Posted September 4, 2017 Big thanks to John B. and to my fellow flyers for making their photo's/ videos available here too. @JWharton.

Big Hugs to all. @Makatakam. Hi there Makatakam. Errrm... Yes! And so did this seagull which was hanging around listening to John B. for ages. It found his explanation of the stitching on the trailing edge absolutely fascinating and even took a step nearer to listen in. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Barresi Posted September 4, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2017 Finally back in Paris, unwinding... All of you are simply wonderful! Believe it or not, I'm actually a somewhat shy introvert when I'm not "hands on" with a subject and I always go through all kinds of nervous mental behavior leading up to a clinic, even after having done around a hundred clinics to date. What I found Thursday morning were a whole lot of keen, hungry fliers with great energy that not only stimulated me into a great flow state, but you all made tremendous use of the information that tumbled out - quite evident over the four days (clinic and festival). I'm sure you realize now, the clinics aren't about me or what I have to teach - they're all about the pure, unbiased information that enables each of us to express ourselves competently with the kites of our choice. Well done! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drdante Posted September 4, 2017 Report Share Posted September 4, 2017 It has been a pleasure to have met all of you and it has been fantastic. A quote that I like a lot, and follow me around: The best things in life, are the people we love.... the places we ´ve been...and the memories we´ve made along the way! Josh, John - Thank you for a very good and learning rich clinic. And St. anna on the sea - thanks for a lovely kite festival. It will not be the last time the Vikings well visit St anna. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Barresi Posted September 4, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2017 Alle for erfaring og kærlighed! I especially look forward to seeing all that new knowledge and skills ripple through the community from Josh (who was a pleasure to have co-instructing) and everyone else who participated - share the wealth! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
