kooky kite shop sounds way better than REI but what else am I gonna do with my $11

[Bootus]

This is a good option if you’re near Boulder. They’ve been open for a long time. I was ordering from the in the early to mid 90s.

Into The Wind is where all mine are from, they rule. They sell on uncle jeff which makes them accessible but obviously don’t buy one today on boycott day even though you could receive your kite tomorrow for opening day

So many times I’ve thought about strapping my kite on a bike to ride down to the local park and yet never do. Maybe I should buy something smaller because I’m a little scared of the current kite (pulls hard) and don’t want to fly it.

I have been really wanting to build this hand/bungee launch rc glider for riding to a park and flying it.

I need to get over my mental block of flying RC airplanes in public because I hate attention being drawn to me.

I need to get over my mental block of doing anything in public because I hate attention being drawn to me.

FTFM, but especially with kites and trying to take pictures of a bike (that’s why all my bike pics are usually of poor quality).

Putting “kite” on the todo list for today so I remember to dig it out after work.

Cool toys are cursed because people want to know what cool thing you’re doing.

But I’m not cool I’m an anxious little rabbit.

Man, talking to strangers about cool, trivial stuff is like my favorite thing to do!
Talking to important people in my life about important things on the other hand…

I like that the arck of Tarck is to become a frog and kite forum

[drwelby]

Every kite is a frogkite with different morphology

I saw more kites than I’ve ever seen in my life when I stumbled upon last years Kite Festival in Redondo. This years festival is next weekend if any of you kite lovers are in LA.

[featherduster]

they really know how to do kite season in Redondo Beach

[Rusty_Piton]

It’s hella blustery out right now. I rode past the hill where they do the kite fest but I didn’t have mine on me. An oversight to be sure.

[blackholelectron]

all this kite talk and I haven’t whipped out my 4m power foil in like… at least eight years… wow that’s gonna be a fun addition to summer beach hangs

TC I’ve never flown a kite

[featherduster]

no day like any day in March to give it a first whirl

[Bootus]

Prism kites is in Seattle, so there’s probably a better level of kite stuff going on than most cities.

[frank_doktor]

Dang, may need to buy a pocket one tomorrow.
Evidently sup hasn’t ever flown a kite, either.

[yonderboy]

I think my foil is a Prism. A+ would fly again.
