Wow somebody else in southern Ohio with a power kite. I thought I was alone. There isn't any kite shops around here but the online service is good and
many of them are members here.
As far as places to fly Voice of America park off Tylersville road is a good place to fly but buggying can be a problem. I live in the Milford area
and Miami meadows park is a possibility.
I have a pretty good selection of kites so contact me and you can try them. I might even sell some I don't use a lot.

Thats awesome. I thought I was alone too. Voice of America is nice, uh I live in Lebanon area. I might try the miami meadows. I need a landboard or
something . I was flying at this park today in old mason by kings island and it was nuts. super gusty. ya know i just thought of a place that might be
good but its kinda far, there is a park down by the river i forget the nam but it might be good for you do do some landboarding or buggying

My son chip has a landboard I can get it is in Columbus right now.
it is not fancy but should work. I have a flexifoil buggy you can try.

I know this is an old post but the otto armleder park seems like another option. The website specifically says "get out your kites!". I went there
once but it was flooded so I couldnt try it out. Its near lunken airport and the little miami river.

I go to VOA whenever the wind is good. Maybe we can meetup sometime!
Some places that seem good for kiteSURFING around here are Hueston woods, Lake Cowan, and rocky fork lake (probably the latter two are the best?).
People sail there and no motorboats above 5HP allowed so they seem promising. I dont kitesurf yet, but thats my hit list once I take lessons next
month down in florida. Windfinder has wind forecasts for those places and the wind is usually quite stronger than VOA at the same point in time.

Hello Ohio. I have moved to the Dayton area. Lets Fly! Any near Wright Patterson AFB?

Hey NorCal
I've heard a few people kitesurf at buck creek / cj brown reservoir. You can probably find them there on windy days... especially after the swimming
beaches close (labor day weekend) and the wind picks up (same time). Look for COWnet in yahoo groups (Central Ohio Wind network)...
