Powerkiters in DFW?
Good morning all,
New(ish) flyer signing on from the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex.
Any other powerkiters from this area? I've seen one other power kite in the sky about a month ago, but was on my way to work and couldn't stop to
chat. Other than that, I sometimes wonder if I'm the only one around, but it seems unlikely out of several million people.
For the most part I fly in the HEB area parks, been at it for several months now, loving every minute of it.

The is a long standing kite club in DFW called Jewels of the Sky (JOTS). They are a recreational kite club though some members are into power kiting
too. They don't have a website, but sometimes members can be found on this forum. I can let 'em know you're looking.
