  1. I was 17 when I first visited California in the summer of 1977 for the first time. While there I did and saw some amazing things like going to see Led Zeppelin, Rick Derringer, and Judas Priest at the Oakland Raiders Coliseum with two older biker friends that I met who lived in San Pablo. A scalped ticket cost me $20.00 and I still have the newspaper article where the drummer was booked in Oakland jail for fighting with the promoter. Also visited Fishermans wharf where I went to a kite shop. There I purchased a 6 pack of Rainbow stunt kites in a tube which I still have and another 6 that I bought off eBay a few years ago. One Red, Two Orange, Two Yellow, Two Green, Two Purple different shades of purple, and One White. Still have the original wooden handles also. Only flew them once and didn't want to risk crashing them so I stored them away. Since then I've been back a couple of times and raced a street luge at Laguna Seca and filmed the Guinness Show in Bakersfield with a rocket powered luge. I know this isn't helping you locate any kites but it brought back lots of great memories from Ca. fastlanerocketluge.com website will expire in May of 22
  2. As a kid I remember making my kites out of sticks and newspaper. I currently have a 6 pack Rainbow stunt kite that i purchased in 77 at pier 39 in SF. Although I don't fly it I still think it's a beautiful kite and that's why I've kept it all these years.
