Well i had to give it a go, i read that a few others do it so......
Holy cow Batman what a rush!!!
Clear skies last night, no stars/moon but reflecting city lights and winds in the 8-10mph range!!!
Flying at night is actualy quite peaceful...no one around and you can hear the kite move !!!
Give it a try and report back :wee:

Ya its a blast, only time I have done it though is when I found my Cult waiting for me when I got home and was to impatient to wait for daylight to
set it up and fly only about 5-8 mph wind however.

Put glow sticks just inside the dirt outs. People will think it's area 51

Will do that over the next summer....its a little too cold now, no time to goof around before flying...

I LOVE night kiting, and am a big supporter of it. When the moon is out and the snow is down, I could ride for hourssss. When the moons not out
sometimes it takes an led blinker or two to make out the kite:eureka:
Winds tonight looking constant at 20mph, you can guess where I'll be:D

We got a store here that all the stuff they sell is $1 and they have really bright cyclist tails lights that flash ... hmm ...

night riding is fun ... i enjoyed the nights at NABX one year. I put Photon lights ( http://www.photonlight.com/Photon-Micro-Light-II-Keychain-LE... ) the dirt-outs as well and ran 4 flashing red lights under my racing plates, it
looked like a low-rider.
NABX ... only a few months away and counting.
