The seed of kiting has been planted
Locals in my area are psyched about kites! Before I started doing this, kites were a thing of the past. Now, I guess I've inspired kids teens and
adults alike to clean out their closets and find their old toys? I see people flying them every day, it's fantastic!! A teacher even told me he saw a
person flying a [foil kite similar to my 13m Venom, but smaller and faster -- not sure what kind. He just said it had red on it]. <-- This is what
I have deduced from his description. Oh, and there were two guys who had them,
flying at my spot. So stoked to see others with power kites. I need to
go find them next time they're out there and have a chat.
In other news... I have a chapter in my high school year book to myself, the newspaper is interested in writing an article about me, I've successfully
befriended the cops, everything I own is plastered with numerous kiting stickers, and I've even impacted the Google suggestions drop down as I search
for my local weather at least 15 times a day. :D
By the way, I see kitesurfing in the media way too many times to keep track of. It's all over. Commercials, especially. I was watching National
Geographic and there was something on a show that had to do with wind, and they had the camera zoomed in on a kitesurfer for a few seconds. It's a
glorious thing :wee:

Your next mission is to have the local park install something like this:
Instead of eddy kites, try for an arc. Properly placed it could provide shade. The lines could be rigged with lighting for night time illumination.

Seany you have taking your town by the ranes. Keep up the excitement and maybe someday there will be a park to honor you and your kites. But you may
have to dye saving a puppy from a rock crusher while flying your kite . But
it would be cool!!
