Just a few cents worth of my brain. I have had numerous hobbies over the years including a RC airplane habit, competition archery, mountain biking and motorcycling(Street Glide). Soooo many dollars for fun. The wife likes motorcycling, and is warming up to kiting, but her activity is the dog and her guitar. I am so pleased that one COULD go whole hog with w/ a few kites as well as the requisite accessories for a couple people/preferences/conditions for a fraction of the cost for a great 3-d bow rig or RC plane. She loves the beaches on the Or Coast. We go there a couple times a month. She is a huge GOT fan, so I am looking for the perfect Dragon Kite...then I GOT her flying with me! I will find the kite, just wanted to ramble a bit while it is hailing and I am giving my equipment some love. So much fun for so little investment!
