Scott Weider

Long Beach WA USA

One of the most prolific fliers in the USA, Scott started his journey with modern kiting on Block Island in 1992. He was competing within two years, joining the dual line team High Flyers Too in 1994. He went on to win AKA national titles in Experienced Individual Precision and Ballet (1997), Masters Individual Quad Ballet (1999) and Open Individual Indoor Unlimited (2005), along with many more podium finishes.

In 2009 he founded the Rev Riders quad line team and captained it at festivals and competitions across the country. That included facing West Coast team Island Quad at WSIKF 2009, billed as North America’s first head-to-head quad team competition in years. He has performed all over the world, including with Kiteman Productions at Disney World and in Ibex Puppetry shows. He also served as a technical judge at the 2024 World Kite Cup in Berck-sur-Mer, France.

Poetic and passionate about kites and life in general, he is often found spreading the joy of kiting and sharing his skills with newcomers or the general public – Scott is a natural ambassador.
