Havasu Clinic Info.

Clinics will be available as a first registered, then served. This means to sign up for a clinic you MUST pre-register. Registration is available online through this site. It's is also available by USPS by printing out the form posted on this site. If you want to be in a clinic it would be wise to pre-register. The clinics will fill up fast. I can already fill all the clinic just by people mentioning their interest. You can sign up for the clinic in one of two ways.

1. Pre-register online! If you notice on the Paypal site, before you send money, there is a box that you can add a note to the recipient. This is the perfect place to request a spot in a clinic.
2. If you choose to mail your information in please include the request on the form and also email Jennifer at berryenterprises2003@yahoo.com.

 

Clinics-

Meeting spot is at 8:30 on the docks at site 6.
Boats are leaving at the latest 9:00. If you are late the boat will not wait for you. If you go on a early bird run keep an eye on the time.

5 riders per boat. 30 minutes per rider. Coaches and drivers will be provided for each boat.

If there is enough demand we might add additional clinic boats but as of right now the first 5 people to sign up (you have to be register to sign up) and show up will get the spot. If we get 8 or more interested in a specific clinic we will try to add a boat but there is no guarantees.

Each clinic will end around noon and return to the dock for lunch.

Beginners Clinic: This clinic will be directed to brand new riders, and novice riders learning to jump. Bryan Steele will be offering his Noob Ski to anyone wanting to LEARN how to get out of the water. This ski is specifically designed for learning only. No jumps or flips, ever!!! We will be teaching about lift, body position, and handle position. The people learning to jump will all use the same ski. A neutral Sky Ski Pro. All riders will be using the same rope as well. It is the rider's responsibility to bring their life-jacket, helmet, gloves or any other riding equipment they might need. This clinic will be taught by Justin Dietrich and Scott Berry.

Gainers and Rolls Clinic: This clinic will be for riders wanting to learn their first invert. It will also be available for people wanting to learn how to do a roll instead of a gainer or vice versa. All riders will use the same rope. A manual release will be provided for safety and operated by a qualified person. There is also a good chance there will be a automatic release as well. Each rider will be responsible for their own ski and riding equipment except the rope. Mark Lee and Darrin Dinckle have volunteered to coach this clinic.

Front Flips and 360s: This clinic is for advanced riders wanting to learn the front flip or the 360. Each rider is responsible for their own ski and riding equipment, this includes the rope. A manual/auto release will be provided and operated by a qualified person. Bryan Steele has volunteered to coach this clinic.

 

It is important to pre-register. Pre-registration will save time and make it easier for the coordinators out-of-pocket expenses. Plus you can sign up for a clinic!

Hello foil friends! This years Havasu Foiling Fiesta will be on Sept. 30th - Oct. 3rd. There will be a lot more details to come but it looks like we will be based out of Havasu City like last year. Justin is working on getting some rooms at the Islander for about $30 a night. Registration is $75. This will cover your share of gas and a shirt.

For those of you that are planning on attending, please let us know how many will be with you and if you can bring a boat. Right now we have 6 confirmed boats and a possible 2 more.

Once again, it's shaping up to be a great time! Hope to see you there!

Schedule

Just a quick note on registration.  Last year we had several requests to move the Flyin into Lake Havasu City itself.  This has been a major feat for us.  Finding a location was the most difficult part, due to getting group rates and finding a location willing to host the event.  Most locations were unwilling or unable to host the event.  Due to all of the above I decided to host a registration party @ my house and chose not to have registration on Friday.  So, it is very important to pre-register or be here Thursday night.

***Now available online payment for registration.***

Please note that you will still need to fill out the registration form and either mail it or bring it with you.  For anyone who pays online I will have all of your information ready when you get here. Please be sure to include your USHA Membership number in the notes section of the check-out process, whether or not you will be bringing your boat and your contact information.

I just wanted to let you all know that Jen Berry and a few others have been working on some improvements this year. It looks like the fly-in will be held in Havasu City so hotel rooms will be easily accessible. Being in town will also give riders the chance to eat from a variety of restaurants located near the host site.  We are currently working on locking down a host hotel and launch location. The way things are going right now it looks like there will be camping space available at Crazy Horse Campground but as said we are working on the details.

We will also be putting together a very small competition for Saturday. Nothing huge and very basic. Well something's huge. SICK TRICK and BIG AIR! We are going to put together a simple format to give those who have not had a chance to compete a small taste of the butterflies. If you're thinking about riding at the Freedom Fighters event or even the National's this will give you a chance to see what it's like with a little bit of pressure to perform. We are still working on the details but we are leaning towards a "Jump Out" for the novice level riders, a "Flip Out" for intermediate, "Big Air" and "Sick Trick" for the advanced level riders. Sick Trick will be judged by the spectators. We are hoping to run this format quickly so it's not an all day event. It looks like the competition will be help in front of the beach at Crazy Horse Campgrounds. This is all still in the works so don't hold me to it but these are some of the goals.

Marty with N2Orbit will be sending a set of wings out for rider demos. If you want to try the new XXX, UFO, Nitro wings they will be available for a ride. If you like what you rode these same wings will be available for purchase.

Benton and Samson Sports will be sending out a few Bullets. If his inventory allows he might be able to send out a dozen that will be available for sale. This will give our riders a chance to see the Bullet first person if they are on edge whether they want one or not.

Mark Lee and Bryan Steele will return this year with the cheater tower in-tow. For those of you that have not had the chance to ride on a Cheater Tower this is it. The Cheater Tower will be the equipment to have. Darth Fern uses it for 50+ frame wake mobes and 57 frame big air rolls. Bryan steel uses it with a Poly E rope to help give him the advantage of going big while riding at slower speeds. I use it to help my bad elbows because it does soak up a little bit of those hard line snaps.

Last year we had a couple of boats running some clinics for a few hours one day and we are hoping this year will be the same. Greg Crocket  Utah Hydrofoil Club will be organizing the clinics this year. I know that there will be a few beginners learning to ride, novice riders learning to jump and trying their first inverts and possibly some advanced riders learning the more technical tricks. Want to get some pointers on your first invert? Maybe you have been thinking about that scary front flip? This is your chance to get some help from some advanced riders. Details to come.

We are also proud to say that it sounds like we will have a few more Pro riders in the house this year as well. B.Steele and Amy are planning on attending for the duration this year. I have also heard that Kevin Thayer might be coming out with Darrin Dinckle. 

Women! Don't be afraid to ride! There will be quite a few women riders from all different skill levels. Who knows, maybe the women will commedere a boat and have a "ladies only" ride!

Another new thing this year is USHAs Grassroots Program. For more information click this link, USHA Grass roots info, Registration fees going towards the event have been reduced to accomidate this new USHA requirement. The new fee is $40. We might have to pass around a hat at the end of the weekend to get some help for fuel costs but an extra $20 from all will probably cover it.

As are all things in these hard times everything is speculative but it will be a blast to have all levels of riders at the Fly-In.

If you can't join this year or already have plans to enjoy one of the many other events being held this same weekend remember that 2010 is just around the corner and we look forward to having you out in the future.

Registration

Registration is available now by mail or online through PayPal.  All participants must be members of U.S.A. Water Ski.  You will receive a Fly-In T-shirt, a raffle ticket for Saturday night’s prize drawings and Dinner, with the remainder of the fee going to as much gas a possible and a wristband that shows you are a paid Fly-In participant. Please wear this for the weekend.

We've decided to lower the Registration fee in hopes of getting more Pre-Registration for the event and easing the paperwork at the event.
