DavidW Posted August 23, 2016 Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 Hi. I am David and I'm a kite-aholic. It seems that I have been fascinated with kites as long as I can remember. Got really into 2-line stunt kites around 2000. Had a spell with single line fighter kites, which are a blast to build and fly. The last several years have been a lapse as things were quite busy. Went to the WSIKF this past weekend and the passion is alive again. Jumping back into the deep end of the pool with a new B-series Revolution. Really appreciate all of the nice folks I met and the advice they gave me. This web site is an awesome resource. Have already learned a ton and hope I can give back one day. I live in Vancouver Washington (the one near Portland ) and would be glad to get together if there are any group flies.

makatakam Posted August 24, 2016 Report Share Posted August 24, 2016 Hi, DavidW, and welcome to the forum. It's good to finally have you on board. And welcome to the Darkside (quad-line kites). I look forward to sharing a field with you someday. Smile, have fun and don't forget to breathe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wayne Dowler Posted August 24, 2016 Report Share Posted August 24, 2016 Are you also on FB? Ask to join the Portland Area Kite Flyer page. We sometimes use it to announce get-togethers and/or scheduled events. Several of us have been using Broughton Beach lately, on the Gorge, behind PDX. Inland winds though are always a gamble. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
