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!!

  • The Kite

    John 3:8 “The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but cannot tell where it comes from and where it goes. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit.” Look upward to the sky And allow your wings to fly Upon the glorious breath of God In the sunrise…

  • FRIENDS!! and FAMILY!!

    I am lucky to be blessed with a number of good friends, many whom are fellow kite flyer fanatics. However there is a distinction between friends and family. Both are important. Here’s a little perspective that one of my non-kite friends showed me. A newlywed young man was sitting on the porch on a humid…

  • So YIPPEE! Time for Outdoors
