So, yesterday I headed out with my board and NPW to see if there was enough wind to get moving. After a rather good run (considering the space I have to work with) this guy comes up and introduces himself as a photographer for the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review. Apparently he was sent out to find something interesting since it'd been a slow news day. So, he took some pictures and I'm in today's paper!

It seems there's something about kites that really attracts attention more than anything else I do. This was actually the second photographer to approach me in the past few months.

Anyways, here's the picture he used:

This definitely made up for the frustration with my shifting winds and my lines that liked to tangle up with the leaves on the ground.

Edited to make the image more reasonable.

Congratulations! Pretty nice photo actually. Kite is nice and colorful, landscaped nicely. I agree kites attract people. Something magical and lovely about them eh?

That's awesome bro! Way to represent:D

Did you make npw9, it looks like a 9, hard to tell from photo. I am making 2 of the now, a 5 and a 9. very nice photo

Nope, it's the HQ NPW5 in m signature. I've heard good things about the NPW9 though. I just got the 5 because someone here gave me a good deal on it.

That's cool. Nice looking wing too.

Awesome!... We had quite a few bystanders watching at the park today... No news papers though.
