Great exposure to the sport

Well, I grabbed the local weekly out of the mailbox today and what do I see but a full color front page photo of a local kiter catching air on one of the city parks flying a Blade! Even better - dude's seems to be a responsible kiter - he was decked out in safety gear.

Great to see the local community growing and getting good exposure like that.

If you can't make it out it says "In Hawrelak Park, Kites Fly You"

If that was Calgary, I would have said it was a Chinook arch. Is Edmonton getting Chinooks now?

We never (well, rarely) get a strong enough Chinook to form a good arch. I'm going with the contrail from the Blade ; )
