Roland at Kite Klash ( Canadian Freestyle Championship)

Some of you may remember four years ago when I asked if anyone had a kite they would like to sell cheap to a 13 Y.O. aspiring kiter. Well, it was worth the effort: this weekend I drove up to Squamish to watch ex-GPer and now 17 y.o. water kiter Roland B participate in the Canadian Freestyle Chamipionships.
I guess particular thanks go out to RonH for coming up with a kite 4 years ago and Brian Holgate who took Ron's advice on getting Ronald started on a sponsorship.
