Christmas Day was sunny and warm-"ish" and gave us a pretty nice day to spend on the beach. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

I tried 15" handles at our last kite festival. Cath Shook had them on her mesh and let me fly hers. I like them and am hoping to get a set soon. My usual set are 13". Sent from my iPhone using KiteLife mobile app

So who got a new kite for Christmas? Not me. But that's okay. How about everyone else?

Went out to join in on the community kite fly this past Sunday. Great Wind, No Sun

I've been wanting to make a Vicki but this is giving me new ideas on my next quad build. I like this. Sent from my iPhone using KiteLife mobile app

The Thanksgiving holiday has come and gone. Holiday Flying and Holiday Guests

We finally made it to a local community kite fly. And Sunday Was A Beautiful Day

After the busyness of kite building and kite festivals, we took a week off and went on a vacation. A Week Off

I have three New Tech Spirit quads. I really like them and enjoy them as a change of pace. My red-white-blue comes out every patriotic holiday fly. Sent from my iPhone using KiteLife mobile app

Apparently everyone including me forgot about this drawing. It's been too quiet. Are all the hecklers gone? None of us "old-timers" left? Sad. Sent from my iPhone using KiteLife mobile app

Hello, Mike. I'm on the Crystal Coast of NC. Hopefully you can make it down to our beaches sometime and we can get the chance to fly together. Karen

Just like the Carolina Kite Festival this past weekend, the winds were high for the weekly community kite fly. But I did get to fly my new Peter Lynn Kite Show during the week. And The Wind Blows Again

This past weekend was the 31st Carolina Kite Festival at the Sands Villa Resort in Atlantic Beach, NC. We had no idea how this one would be attended as Hurricane Florence hit us hard and many people are out of work and out of their homes. Also, many of the hotels and condo units were damaged which made accommodations in the area harder to find. But it didn't deter most of our regular out-of-town flyers.

The community kite fly this past weekend was canceled due to too much wind. But my week only got busier. A Hectic Week

I really hated missing the community kite fly. I also hated the thought of not doing any kite flying at all. Finding Time To Fly

A beautiful day and some time away from the aftermath of Hurricane Florence. It was the first kite fly of autumn. A Beautiful Day And Some Time Away

Fort Macon State Park is open. Although the fort itself is closed because of damage from Hurricane Florence. The early report concerning the weekly community kite fly was encouraging but we couldn't verify the information because we weren't there. Missing A Good Day

For most of the summer we would have great winds all week. But the time for our weekly community fly and we end up standing in the parking lot looking at the flag on the flagpole hanging limply. Sent from my iPhone using KiteLife mobile app

After spending the week cleaning and removing debris, I was looking forward to a community kite fly as a means to get away from it all. Unfortunately, Fort Macon State Park is closed. For how long, we have no idea. They are doing damage assessment and repair and have to see how much beach remains after the storm. After The Storm

The community kite fly day has come and gone. An unwanted guest showed up and caused a cancellation. The guest's name -- FLORENCE. Hurricane Florence brought two days of high winds and three days of rain. And evacuations and curfews which kept us from the beach. All I Wanted To Do Was Fly

Things in life distracted me and I hadn't realized that it has been two years since I wrote anything. To those who were following me, I sincerely apologize. The good news is we haven't stopped flying our kites. I Hadn't Realized

I have to agree. You're overthinking. My first foul was a Symphony 1.8. I don't care for a lot of pull (some is fun) and the 1.8 was the ideal for me. I flew mine with a streamer tail for looks. I have now attached an Eel banner instead and it looks like the eel is chasing the kite across the sky. I also have the 1.4 which is smaller and quicker. My husband has the 2.2 for the greater pull (which our son-in-law loves). Kites Unlimited in Atlantic Beach carries a variety of tails and kites. They also have a foil by Skydog Kites that is very similar to the Symphony line. Sent from my iPhone using KiteLife mobile app

I have several stacks of Trlbys I can take photos of. However, it will have to wait until the Hurricane passes. I'm kind of pre-occupied now.
