General discussions about kiting: equipment, setup tips, safety, where to go, where you should have been, lost and found

Not the best footage in the world and I'm sure you all already know but it's just great to see...

Have a stoke filled day...

On a totally unrelated but equally inspiring note check out the whole ted.com website but specifically this talk...

Love that second vid. He's a great speaker - as funny as most stand-up comedians and therefore has your attention when he shakes up your belief system and see the world in a different way.

Third one about kites generating electrical power, I've seen the same guy in an older video (maybe on his website); great outside-the-box thinking (maybe 'outside the box' should be 'inside the window' for kites :!: )
