So kite flying has become one of my strange addictions. Im big into model aircraft flight, fixed wing and rotor wing.
A few years ago i randomly bought a kite for my sister's little girls. They were a little bit to young to fly it but they really enjoyed seeing it up in the air. Turns out i also realy enjoyed seeing it up in the air.
While they may not offer the satisfaction of of a high dollar flying model they do give me a strange amout enjoyment.
No lie, i have way more money into kites now than i will admit. Like a stupid amout.. but I enjoy it as dose my lady and my mom.
Its something we can all do together, is low stress and just downright entertaining and enjoyable.
Our new thing (the last few years) is we take my mom, my ladys mom and we attend the Berkeley kite festival. We all fly kites and its a GREAT time.
Heres some pics from today. If anyone lives near Berkeley Ca. Its well worth the trip.
The big kites are tied to one ton pickup trucks, 100' long and take half a dozen guys to get in the air.
