Footage from our recent trip this past May... Flying along the Sumida River in Tokyo, average 0-2 mph winds with some direction changes going on, then a few clips flying from an observation platform near Uchinada - so much fun. 🤘🤘
(filming by Takako Barresi)
Luv this video of such precision!
Dude! You are so fluid and smooth. Just getting into the sport and you are definitely a major inspiration. Thanks for the vids!
Thank you sir! I love to fly and share. 😇
Welcome to JAPAN !!
Beautiful kite!
Oh man, that's good stuff!
Wow
like it!! :) greetz from germany
John I'm saving money to buy your Djinn and I what your signature in it 😜
All Djinn sold direct through the KiteForge website are signed, and include a cloisonné lapel pin - be sure to include a couple of spare sticks and ferrules in your order, the kite is very strong but everyone breaks a stick now and then. 😉
Any chance of a tutorial with close up on hand movements relating to kite movements please. Skilful flying.. so relaxing watching your vids.
Specific items other than that is covered here already? :)

Seeing the kite movements is good but the hand positions to get the kite to respond how you want it. Like a split video of hands and kite please 👍
Check out that URL I shared Rob, all of the flight related tutorials listed there ARE split screen. ;)

I take it this is the Standard non vented?
Fred Wagner Airbrush Studio - this is the Djinn ST.
What wind do you need to fly like that, in all directions?
I now fly on what I call a plus/minus factor, so if the wind is 1-4 mph I can add or remove 1-3 mph above or below that on demand, even more flexibility if I apply more energy... Wind moves 2 mph in one direction, you move 4 mph in the same direction, you have a reversed apparent wind of 2 mph. Wind during this filming was an average of 1-3 mph. Make sense? 😇
You can also tweak the factors more by using slides or gliding with some velocity behind it to change aerodynamics.
@@JohnBarresi Didn't get that.
Only a static body flies in the measurable wind speed... If you move your body in space, the speed of that physical movement increases or decreases the apparent wind (what the kite feels), in some cases enough to reverse the flyable wind direction. Glides and deep slides flatten the kite, and lower its profile to the wind allowing additional creativity against the wind.
@@JohnBarresi I see. Cool stuff!
Where can I buy one of these in Japan?
Roger Nagata - Airrex kite store, outside Tokyo. ✌️
@@kiteforge thanks!
What frame?
Skyshark P1X (similar to P100)
