What type of peg works and what doesn't on the Playa ?
For sake of light packing I'm wondering if folks just share home stake ?
Should I pack more than the one ?USA_Eli_A - 16-3-2008 at 11:28 AM
Lots of people like to use a 4ft piece of rod with a "swim noodle" over it, the idea is not to stake you lines out but to rest your kite on something.
Any ground stake works as there are little cracks all over in the clay.
There are some awesome stakes available for Trade, contact Kite Slinger for an order.Bladerunner - 16-3-2008 at 11:38 AM
So ..... One of those big :moon: ones from home depot and a travel peg would do ?USA_Eli_A - 16-3-2008 at 02:51 PM
yup.....I believe there is a ground stake makeing contest. the craziest ground stakes you'll ever see!KYTE SLINGER - 16-3-2008 at 03:53 PM
You mean these
But i haven't made any since last year... I took up sewing and been building these
and I make a matching 2'x 3' banner for evey rev I make w/the same crop circel design
and I been making my Maori Tribal banners
Close up detail
If I do make it this year I might have to donate a few as prizes or auctionUSA_Eli_A - 16-3-2008 at 04:21 PM

One of those metal corkscrews? Overkill. More than needed and if you can't get it screwed in all the way it becomes a hazard to others.
If you don't have a regular kitestake, then one of those metal tent spikes works just fine.
Whatever you decide to use, attach a streamer of some sort to it so others can see it easily. I use 3' strips of ripstop nylon.kitemaker4 - 16-3-2008 at 07:39 PM
Wow David
Those are some nice looking kites and banners.
Great job.
