One of the most popular sections of the GWTW Forum has long been the Swap Meet.  A great place to sell old, seldom flown kites or to get great deals on used (gently flown) kites.  Only registered users can see the Swap Meet section, let alone wheel and deal.  1000's (literally) of kites have changed hands thanks to the Swap Meet.

Also found this one in my kite bage, a Wizard,  for Bob Child.  What can you tell me about this one?

It wasn't as if Bob Childs didn't like the way he was flying... he just wanted something different.

"I really like to do a lot of groundwork, so I set out to make a kite that would combine some of the attributes of the ones I liked," he explained, "plus giving me some interesting new abilities in the air." Thus the Wizard was born. It is a curious mixture that does a number of things quite well.
