Windy Heap Dave's idea of rest and relaxation while on the Oregon Coast.
Kite festivals, and Grand Adventures..............
...........may they never end.
The dark side Rev Crowd is very dominate in kiting,
the grass hopper foil force is strong in me though.
Yoda says good.........I introduced many people to the white side of Power Foil strength in the universe.

Nice video! Thanks for sharing Me and the Mrs attend about 2-3 kite
festivals a year. Not many of us representing the power side of the universe. Mainly single line kiters and related stuff.Windy Heap - 9-10-2014 at 03:15 PM
it IS sad, that for some reason foil kites are not promoted more.
not that one is right or wrong, it's cool to see Revs, Single lines, Custom sewing, ballet to music, Chinese fighting kites...........the whole
family.
but still, I've yet to see foils mixed in, like we're the evil banjo picking mono brow step child of the wilderbush.indigo_wolf - 10-10-2014 at 07:39 AM

Sadly, I think that's a US thing.
Flexifoil is well represented at UK festivals.
Libre seems to do well in the EU
And the tourists and nearby residents of Push Kiting's home field constantly seem to get a good show.
ATB,

Looked like an awesome day. Great flying. bobalooie57 - 10-10-2014 at 08:24 AM
Nice vids, all. I especially liked watching the Zebra's chase each other across the sky. I attended a kite festival in Oswego, NY, shortly after
getting my first power kite, a 3.5M Ozone Imp trainer. I made a sign, looking to form a power kite club in northern NY. I had my buggy on display,
though I didn't ride it that day, too crowded for my skill level. One of the organizer's, from NYKE (New York Kite Enthusiasts) came by and said,
"Oh, you're one of those". I didn't get it then, still don't.ssayre - 10-10-2014 at 08:33 AM
I think that's weird too. I emailed the kite club in our state about an event and what kites I had and they responded by saying that particular event
was not a fun fly which I understood but they didn't make any invitations to be a part of any other upcoming fun flies which leads me to believe that
they aren't that keen on power kites. I could have totally misunderstood, but that's kind of the impression I got.Cheddarhead - 10-10-2014 at 12:34 PM
