I am flattered this footage has become so popular all of a sudden. First, it's definitely not fake Second, I'm the pilot, and I own the store that sells these kites. The model I'm flying is a 1.5 Custom SUL in the Black/Lime color pattern. Anyone that would like to learn is more than welcome to visit the pier, I will happily take you down to the beach and teach you. If you have questions, please call the store, I'm happy to talk to you about them. Someone posted there are now probably 80,000 looking for where to buy one....that would be spectacular. I don't quite have that many in stock, but I have 100 or so! Thank you all for the kind comments, it was VERY fun to do, that kid was awesome! I hope he comes in again and says hello.

The Kite Connection You probably saw, but it got posted on reddit today and is on the front page. www.reddit.com/r/funny/comments/34b19s/trolled_by_a_kite/
ok , let me know when ur coming to my home town Miami✈, so i can go to the beach🌊 and see u fly it, u do it so beautiful.💛 i love it. Thank u so much for sharing. 💋
*That was very dangerous flying your spinning kite next to that kids face and eyes* then stopping your kite close to his head and to those people walking by. Its very irresponsible kite flying which would have got you thrown off the kite park where I fly. Rule number 1 ...dont fly near or above people. Its dangerous! and can result in lost or damaged eyes, plus burns and cuts from kite lines. 0:20
Wow, that kite looked alive! If I didn't notice the shadow, the pilot and the reaction of those up on the pier, I'd have sworn this kite was computer generated. Amazing how something made from nylon could be brought to life.
The best video I've seen for a long time. Such a nice interaction, you're giving this kite an own character like a puppet player. A special moment. Thank you for sharing.
it is very interesting how he was able to stop it on the fly.... I would guess that it has 4 strops and he makes them even to stop the kite. Awesome job!
I love my quad. It's one of my favorites. I flew in Berkeley in the kite festival for many years and at 72 still doing it. Going to do a demo tomorrow at a kid's fly day here in Clearlake. I like making the kite walk. It always shocks people and makes them laugh and me to lol. I just loved seeing the little boy having fun chasing the kite lol
This is so incredibly heart warming. I keep coming back to this precious video!!! How beautiful. It makes me want to buy and learn quad kite flying. I lost a son to cancer, it would be very healing for me to do this on a beach one day. One day! Thank you for this precious gift
got some serious skills ... makes me want to get one those kites but dont think i could master those skills this video was refreshing ... i enjoyed watching it .. cheers
Thank you! You don't need to master those skills, you need only learn the basics! Which you CAN do!! Let me know if I can help. kiteconnection.com Best, Dave
Hey Scott, I'm honored to be compared with JB, but I'm sorry to report, that is not John at the helm, it is actually yours truly. Also, the kite is not his signature B Series, it's one of our Custom Rev 1.5's (that has the same Icarex sail material, frame, bridle, etc. as a B Series, B Pro, etc.). They are on my web site in various colors and models if you'd like to check them out. The exact model being flown in this footage is a SUL (which actually isn't available in a B Series) with a 2 wrap frame on 50# line at 75', in about 4-5 MPH of wind. Thank you for your comment, I know John will appreciate the comparison also!
So, so Sorry Dave and JB, when I saw the walking thing that's where I went with it and since I haven't seen the kite, figured it was JB's. Wow, I went wrong on every possible level... Guess I shouldn't try and be a knowitall. Props to you Dave, I guess now I should run up and buy my next kite at the Kite Connection, yes?... I am closer now, are you still on the pier? BTW is there going to be a KP this year?
Scott Ralston What's funny is that John and I were having a good laugh about this yesterday! Of COURSE you can buy your next Rev from me! Still on the pier. KP is in March, just opened registration on the website... kiteparty.com Anyway, thanks again....
I am a kite flyer from India, Have never seen a kite that moves like that or rather a kite with so much control . What an amazing design. And definitely flyer have extraordinary skills.👍
This kite has 4 lines that let you control the speed and direction by adjusting the angle of the sail. Plus this flier is very experienced. Honestly I have a lot of respect for fliers over there who have so much control with only a single line
@@daves3919 I was just out recently with my 2 line delta kite but it needs half a hurricane to fly in so I don't get out very much. I had it out last summer at the beach where I surf when the tide was out but I can only do a few things with it like loops, dives and high speed passes with it. I need more "string" time...lol! Cheers, John
Because of this video i have spent over $600 on revolution kites. I have yet to master anything but I like the possibility to fly the way you do. I know the only way to get that good is to put in the time. I wish I can fly every day but the winds by me are not great. I have to wait for my time but im itching to get out there and practice.
@@mrinterested Well since buying everything i think i was able to get out to fly about 5 times. Weather and location in nyc is not so great so i usually head out to a beach. I have become very comfortable setting up and getting it up in the sky. I have had about 4-5 hard crashes and no frame work broke so it was amazing. Crashing becomes less as you fly more. I am hoping with the good weather coming in I can hone in my my skills and work on clock work.
Just letting folks now that I am happy to give you a free lesson on one of these. I have most people flying basic patterns in about 10 - 15 minutes. Thank you. Dave The Kite Connection
This is an amazing kite. I cannot believe how controllable it is. I just wish I could afford one. But even if I could, I would never get to fly it much since I do not live near a beach. I still would like to fly one though.
I’m about to get into quad lines , but I’m skeptical in getting a new rev because I’ve heard their quality has went waaaaay down hill over the past couple years… looking for something different but similar performance..
Hello Doctor. Feel free to go to my website and get my number, you can get my cell number there. www.kiteconnection.com I'm happy to discuss with you. Can't agree on the quality going downhill, but that's my opinion.
Fysh They are quad-line (four line) kites. Most people are only familiar with single line kites. With those you can only let out more line, making the kite go out and back. Fun for young kids, but most people grow out of that phase. Dual line stunt kites are somewhat more common. Pull on the left string and the kite turns left, pull on the right string it turns right. With a small amount of practice you can draw patterns like circles and squares, stair-steps, and more; pair up with a friend and in tandem you can do all kinds of visually fun designs. In addition to being able to steer in any direction, you can give a sharp tug to make it flip over on axis, make it lay down (turtle), tumble end-over-end, and much more. Quad line stunt kites like the Revolution shown in the video allow an amazing amount of control. The kite pilot has two small rods with lines affixed to each end, the top and bottom of both rod. By pulling or twisting the rods, effectively the pilot can push or pull on any of the four corners. When you learn to control all four corners on a quad line kite, you can control nearly all aspects of flight, only limited by (invisible) changes in the wind. Given a steady wind at your back and practice at the controls, controlled stunts like the ones in the video can be done easily.
I work for David and Susan Gomberg at Northwest Winds Kite Shop in Lincoln City, OR and I personally have four of these kites myself and start new fliers on them all the time, so be assured this video is legit and while this flier is quite skilled, Revolution Kites are quite simple to pick up and learn! I'm stoked to see this video get so many views, like when Connor Doran was on America's Got Talent it really helps bring this awesome hobby to the general public :D Check out www.revkites.com to find out more information and if anyone is ever in Lincoln City or Seaside (where I'll be managing our other store), stop in to Northwest Winds Kite Shop and I'll take you out to the beach and let you try one of my Revs out!

I know that I’m reading a great comment when it anticipates my next thought 😂
Me too!! I had no idea you could control a kite like that. How did they do that??
Went to a kite festival with my 2 year old daughter today. Here I am….
Bought my son a kite and now here I am..
Wow, that kite looked alive! If I didn't notice the shadow, the pilot and the reaction of those up on the pier, I'd have sworn this kite was computer generated. Amazing how something made from nylon could be brought to life.

This is very cool. Didn't know kids could move like that.
Mathew Foscarini (Chris Hansen voice)
"Why don't you have a seat over here"
Mathew Foscarini Yeah, but did you know KITES could move like that?
spiegel Glad you changed kids to KITES. lolol.
I guess the dude just like spending his spare time analyzing the movement of children for some reason. Can't imagine why.
Nick, you meant you didn't know Kites could move like that?
The kite skills are amazing but what really makes it for me is all the laughing. Such a happy video.

Who needs drones when you can fly like this.
Well drones dont have SUPER annoying strings, the closest to a 4 string kite like this is probably a 3d rc plane
@@nicks_got_tricks7023no they have a super annoying whine and sharp propellers 😂
Wow this takes me back to my child hood watching and flying kites. Wonderful.
Thank you!

The Rev is one of the most fun to fly. I have little kids put their hand up in the air and I land one tip in their hand. Parents love it.
got some serious skills ... makes me want to get one those kites but dont think i could master those skills

I can't even begin to comprehend how this works...
indiesthlm Are you serious xD? It's simple wind logic, it's a curved kite.
Jack Grimes What is this magical kite you speak of? And wind logic?
Haha, you obviously use a rod tied with a kite. And you hold the rod and rotate it depending on the direction of the wind.
Jack Grimes Go home guys, he knows alot about wind logic.
Benjamin Røthi Better yet, the wind master shall blow you away! *Engages wind master turbo gene* Blurururururrrrruurru!!
Me at Oceanside beach in 2000 also 😁 Fun times. It's something how much personality these kites can be given and this man demonstrated perfectly.
That's some crazy control good work pilot
Many thank you's! Was (and still is) very fun!! Dave
what kind of sorcery is this
wizerox lol.. 😀👍
How are you that good 🪁 lol
Hahahahahahaha
OH wow didn't know this would be on youtube haha I was high on weed watching your kites on the pier lol.
Nice video! Rev's are so much fun to fly...I have several, my favorite being the vented model....kiting touche's your soul.
Agree 1000%!!
I used to fly a Revolution 2 back in the day. Looks like you were having a lot of fun there!
Thank you! I had as much fun as they did!
Definitely makes me want another 4 line !
Amazing how maneuverable that thing is
That was outstanding!i have a sports kite. But I have to buy one of those now!

instant smile, that kite looks like it's alive :) btw, where is this exactly?
Huntington Beach, California
I know California, I just wanted to find out exactly where on the map huntington beach is, and now I know. I'm not from the us :)

Just made my "things I didn't know I NEED" list

Revolution makes indoor versions also.. Check them out www.kiteconnection.com/cgi-bin/store.cgi
But you don't really need a beach, an empty school yard or field works too. :)
This is/was GREAT ...Super flying skills. I have one very similar to this. HOWEVER....Not that good of a pilot. Thanks for sharing
Thank you!
Awesome!
Awesome !!! I wanna do the same ! How many times does it takes to do such tricks ??! That's just awesome !
Thank you very much. Many years, thousands of hours. But I can teach you the basics in 20 minutes
Awesome!! Lezaun Gameplay's mira esto!
This is great
Glad you liked it!
Wow. I passed by that kite store before longggg ago but never went in. Always thought about it though cuz I really wanted a delta wing.
We are still there, never too late!!!
That is amazing how does a kite just stop dead?
With a flick of the wrists. Stop by the Huntington Beach Pier and I'll show you!
Kite puppetry is cool.
That person can fly a kite that was awesome
Many thank you's!
Impressive skills. :)
