    Not sure that worked @riffclown, but I think I saw the blue box and clicked on it so I think I got it right now

    What a great story, RobB! Thanks for sharing and taking the time to get these great shots. I have the Kevlar cord...not sure what thickness, but the kites they made are really beautiful...

    Thank you, Wayne Dowler....I'm flying a Cobra kite at this time...it is not that big. I'm thinking of using it as a pattern to make my own design, using nylon fabric and sewing. I attached a photo of the cobra I have. A single line kite for sure.

    I found one of those little wooden stirrers today...flat piece of wood about 2/8 of an inch wide and flat...I'm wondering if I find long pieces of this type of wood, if it would work to make spines (I think they are called spines...just learning my vernacular)...they bend gently and have some strength. Does anyone know what I'm talking about? I'll attach an image.

    You mean like this: @RobB....this is a test to see if I get a response, as I am not very tagging sauvy...

    I'm just seeing this now...I have probably sent you a couple of comments, but didn't realize it. Just getting use to this great site. I am also in Suffolk county on the North shore, Huntington Station. It's starting to get colder now so not sure when I will be kiting again. I don't have set hours...I'm a newbie. I just went to the local school yard and playgrounds around. I was interested in making a paper messenger note to send up. I have tried it a few times with no success. I have made a circle of paper and cut it and taped it on. I want to send it up to the heavens to say hello to my Mother and others who have passed away.

    Hello RobB:

    I have heard great things about you.  Will there be any Long Island Kite Festivals in the near future.  I live in Huntington Station and I'm a Newbie.

      Unfortunately, there is only one festival around here that you don't have to go over a bridge, that would be the Coney Island festival, which is usually early fall. BUT, Jones Beach, field 6 every Sunday you will usually find some people flying.

    Hello Rob...I have heard great things about you. I hear you are on Long Island. Will there be any other kite festivals on Long Island in the near future? I live in Huntington Station.

    My daughter bought me this Cobra kite. The first time I tried to fly it at the beach. The wind was about 18mph...much too strong. The string broke and I had to go through many creeks, but was lucky to find it. After that I went on YouTube and found the wheel I am holding in my page photo. I also got Kevlar twine and it is holding up find. The wheel sometimes goes crazy fast. I wear gloves to trey to get a hold of it and lock it. I have attached a photo of the kite. I would like to try and find this RobB. If you know how to contact him, please let me know...so I can make you jealous, but not intentionally

    Hello SHBKF: Thanks for responding. That was a nice story that you found your piece. Your terminology is very new for me, as I am a real newby. Nice to hear that you were clever to make your own rod. I am inclined to do things myself.

    Thank you, John Barresi: I would like very much to connect with anyone local to me. Please connect me, if you can.

    Thanks so much, frob! That's an interesting name...does it have an explanation?

    Has anyone ever used thin dowels to create a kite?

    Hello...this is my very first time here! I am from Long Island, USA. I have been watching many YouTube videos on kite festivals around the world. Amazing and beautiful. I would love to make my own kite someday. I'm looking for kiters in my area. Thanks.
