Mario has competed at the experienced level in individual, pairs and team precision and ballet competition events organized by the Northwest Sport Kite League. Mario, originally from Argentina, lives in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, and has been flying kites longer than he can remember, but seriously for fun since 2003. His positive attitude and analytical mind benefits Island Quad in many aspects of team flying. Brad’s approachable nature has made it easy for him to develop lasting friendships with the fliers he meets. He was asked to join Island Quad in 2008. Hooked by his passion for kite flying, he concentrated on building his team flying skills with a commitment to practice at every opportunity. A former bookstore owner, he retired in 2005, picked up his kite handles the following year and never looked back. He first witnessed the wonder of flying Revolution kites in 2004 while attending the Whidbey Island Kite Festival. “Always a challenge but always way too much fun.”īrad resides on beautiful Whidbey Island, Wash., and flies the No. As leader of the team, it is Terry’s responsibility to create and call out the moves during a demonstration. Team flying, and all its aspects, has been Terry’s main focus since then. In 2009 Terry, along with several other “Rev” pilots, created Island Quad. By early 2007, Terry was flying Revolution’s quad-line kites exclusively. Hooked on kite flying immediately, Terry became fascinated by the precision and control the local fliers demonstrated with their strange-looking four-line kites. Terry first started flying in 2006 on an old-style dualie called a “stinger” given to him by a friend who flew kites with his father. Notable kite fliers who have performed in the past at Rockaway include: Team Island Quad Terry Wiggill
