Flying kites for Christmas

Yesterday we performed at a company Christmas party for the families of our friends at the golf course. We got to fly on this amazing site overlooking the ocean. (The photos are from a visit to the site last month to check it out and test fly there.)

After a week of high winds that made practice nearly impossible, we had okay, flyable winds for our hour-long performance. The site on the bluff has very squirrelly winds, in some places really good, in others a step forward or backward sends the kite into a black hole. But hey - we're professionals, right? So we took it all in stride and made it work.

The good news is the audience, particularly course owners Stanley and Charlie and their families and course designer David and his wife Liane, were pleased and impressed. As David said, "I am impressed. I'm not surprised at how good you are, but I am impressed!"

Thank you, Stanley and Charlie, for inviting us to perform - and for the great lunch afterward!

Today Rescate Playas Isabela, a local group working to clean up and protect our local beaches is having a family Christmas Fair. We are going to put up some kites for that event as well. Today will just be single line kites. The venue for this event really doesn't have room for dual-line demonstrations.
