Hello and thank you for the warm welcom,
When I was young I had always been curious about stunt kites, 4 years ago I was on vacation near Seaside OR and at the time Northwest Winds still had a shop there.
I got their "Comet" dual line kite and the someone at the shop taught me the larks-head and explained that unlike other kites I would need to unwind the string all the way first (a 5 minute stunt kite 101) and sent me off to the beach to fly. I have been hooked ever since, a year ago I also got their "ZigZag" kite and of course a couple of tails. https://www.nwwinds.biz/store/
