hooked a newbie
Well i have been talking about kiting (something i dont do very often ) with
some of the dads on my sons soccer team- well yesterday at practice i put a kite in his hands; 10 minutes later he is asking where he could get one.
Best part of it all his family owns a huge farm that has an open hay field that is relatively flat and is 300 acres:o. looks like i found a new spot
to fly/buggy and its only an hour away. oh yeah!

That's funny because I just hooked one today too. I have a fitness instructor friend who has gotten real curious about power kiting so I talked to him
about it and linked him to PKF and recommended he call Angus and order a Buster Soulfly 3.3M earlier today. He drops me an email this afternoon and
says he talked to Angus and already has the kite on order. What a great sport we have, I love introducing people to it whenever I can.

I would love to get someone around here hooked. Most of my friends and coworkers think it sounds interesting but not enough to come try it. I will
keep at it. Someone is bound to fall victim to the addiction sooner or later.

I'm in Greenwood on the south side. Right now I mainly fly at a fairly new park that is surrounded by corn fields. I also just got permission to use
a private grass field in Greenwood but I haven't tried it out yet. Also, I make sales calls around the city at various locations and have flown in
different spots around the city when I have time to kill. If your up this way let me know. Where do you fly?
