Lots of Rev fliers came from all over the continent to be a part of this, and the average skill level jumped way up across the board.

And indeed, thanks to the attendance of fliers from all over North America and the UK (Flying Squad and Decorators), a new world record of 64 kites was set near the end of the week.

JD Fabich, Carl Bragiel and Cal Yuen joined our ranks, we conducted our first official American mega fly, and the “mutant” Steve de Rooy made his first appearance with iQuad.

It was a great event, learning as fast as we were teaching, and it all culminated in receiving the 2006 WSIKF “People’s Choice” award!

This same event, another tall skinny dude made an appearance from Victoria (BC), he could fly the heck out of an SLE and never left our side – the infamous “mutant”, Steve de Rooy… Together with the rest of the gang, we earned the “WSIKF People’ Choice” award from both spectators and our fellow fliers.
