Totally mesmerized watching the video, incredible flying, loved the dog on the beach lol fantastic, something to aim for as I learn to get off the ground

Incredible skills and just mind blowing what can be done with kites now! I have always had an interest in them and have flown some basic designs in the past and now, with the performance of these sport kites, I have a new hobby!

Excellent compilation, best enjoyed on 'Mute'.

Where does one start with the quad line kites? Discovered them last weekend in Long Beach and was mesmerized by the things they can do. Almost pulled the trigger on a Rev but after browsing you site found other brands. Would love some insight from you on where to start getting into it! Thanks!

[frankieflyinquadlinekites]

Yeah baby. Now that's what I'm talking about!. The Best of Barresi :)

I’ve flown dual line off and on for 30 years. Never quad🤔. What should I get? I’m a quick learner. I don’t want to outgrow it. Thanks, Charles

[goranpetrovic]

sorry dumb question, how hard is to get to 35% of your level? this is from someone who can fly single lien deltas.... Thanks John

[rolloverriderpgr]

TREES!!! I saw lots of trees and Charlie Brown with his hands over his eyes in the brush!

[Mechanarian]

How is this 1:10 being done with a 2 line delta (I think)
