"Dear Steve,
Great kite show again. My son did the 2 sessions Friday flying with IQUAD. Every one of them was so nice and helpful. ...the experience of a lifetime. Zach Gordon also gave him some great tips too. What a great opportunity and great quality people you brought in! It was our first year at the indoor fly. I see what we have been missing. Two best kept secrets that people are missing out on.
Great performaces by everyone. It just amazes me every year. Very glad that Ben taught him how to fly the Revolution several years ago. He loves it. Can not wait until next year.
Thank You, Randy Gehrke"
