Wickedrevs Windy World

Who is “Wickedrevs”?

The nickname “wickedrevs” came about quite late in my life, as a kite flyer actually.

I was making kites while overseas in the Eastern Caribbean islands from palm frond ribs and scraps of newsprint or tissue paper when I was but a teenager with my younger brother helping.

Many years later I was exposed to dual line sport kites while at a beach resort town when traveling in Mexico.

I pursued the sport kite hobby at a Galveston, TX kite shop, purchasing and taking my little sport kite back to Arizona to play with. Upon returning to Texas a year later, I was exposed to quad-line kites called “Revolutions” and was transfixed by them.

You see the image of “Wickedrevs” flying a Rev Blast, large kite capable of propelling the hobbyist on a mountain board, or a kite buggy. I was called out as being “wicked” with my moves flying Revolution kites——“wickedrevs” was born!!

  • Krazy Rev Flyers

    While it is not a prerequisite to flying Rev kites, the practice of funny hats and costumes is common amongst my fellow radical quad monkeys. After all the practice of Kite flying should remain FUN!! No smiles? No way!!

    Absent No Longer

    My dear followers, I really must beg forgiveness for being AWOL for so long. I have had a real battle for the health of my ample body for most of the last couple of years. The last kite festival I helped produce and attend was in April 2019 with the Heritage District in Rockport. That…

  • Hello to myFollowers

    I’ve not been on a kite field since April 2019 folks. First some near death experiences, followed by many months of hospitals, rehab facilities, and then a brief move to Alabama where wind is a near non-existant thing. So I am now in the Central Plains to live near my aged Father, we need time…

  • Kite Flying Assistant

    Been looking around for a while for a flying assistant. Not sure exactly what qualifications I should look for and perhaps post a “wanted” listing. I just found the perfect projection in a meme put up in Kite Flyers 2.0 on FaceBook. I think this might just fit the ticket!!!

    Some of the best friendships in this world started on the beaches of Galveston Island. This is like a family to most of us, and two decades later we still converse and reminisce. As the saying goes..”Those were good times” Take a look at our “family album” https://m.facebook.com/groups/398508016886471?view=permalink&id=4232903370113564 In memory …..
