Category Archives: Issues (1998-2011)

The complete archive of our original bi-monthly e'zine (electronic magazine) devoting to kite flying of all kinds since day one… Our current format is a dynamic feed, so those articles (2011 onward) can be found in the other general categories (see our full timeline).
With literally thousands of articles in the archives, you'll find features on stunt kites, fighter kites, inflatable show kites, kite making, kite competition, interviews with renowned kite personalities and event coverage from some of the greatest kite festivals on earth.
