I'll be there Saturday (July 28th).
I'll bring my buggy and couple of kites, hoping to do some buggying at the dog park if I'm allowed. If not, I'd like to at least try flying the demo flexis to see what the big hype is all about.

C ya!

Are kites available for purchase at this festival or just for demo?

As I remember last few years there was a local park kite shop that sell them on festival (MSRP).I know He had Ozone and Revolution and in the far past there was a JoJo tent.

I went Saturday, and had all my gears with me, but parking sucked, so I left all kites and buggy in the car in order to take the shuttle bus to the event.
NO, I didn't see any Ozone or Flexi demo crew. :no:

They must be at the Big Air Windjam at Crissy Field.
I did see Zloty doing buggy jumps at the dog park by himself.

Canadian Prairies

You guys have to make it up here one day.
Endless winds and spaces, old abandoned roads that run for miles. Fields where you can't see the end. Biggest worry is gopher holes.
Working on getting some events going in the future all would be welcomed.
