Wayne Dowler Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 Headed up this afternoon!! Weatherman is saying that the conditions on the beach are better than those in the valley??!! Might lend itself to some outdoor action!! But whatever, plenty of indoor flying to be had!!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne Dowler Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 OK, thought I needed to get this out before I forgot things!! (keep the "old" jokes quiet!!) Anyway, I just wanted to comment on how much fun was had by all of my friends, this weekend!! Really helps to keep the winter blues away!! Hanging out with good friends seems to do it for me!! Anyhow, I really wanted to comment on the trying out of a new idea - a single line kite only competition!!! Every one that I talked to had nothing but rave reviews on it!! It had always been a drawback to only have a single contest for all the fliers! Everyone was flying different types of kites, and some felt that the single line fliers didn't really have a chance in an open competition!! Trying a single line only contest meant that all the fliers were on an even playing field, and the judges only had to compare one type of kite and how it was flown, compared to trying to see how different types related against each other!! It was "the bomb"!! I had so much fun doing it!! And I hope it is an idea that catches on!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tmadz Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 Terrific pics. lots to see. I especially love decorating the walls of the gymnasium with kites. Nothing will put you in the mood more. All of the contestants/exhibitions deserve a huge round of applause. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
