Finding Magic in Kite Flying

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.
There are several more benefits to being a registered user, but you'll have to join our little community to find out all the "secrets".

A black kite with the full moon glowing through a white tribal applique. Magic.

A Prism 3D Micron in 15+ wind on a strip of beach in Florida. One side of the window was slightly lit by the windows of a nearby restaurant. The other side of the window was pitch dark. You couldn't see the kite until it got within about 3 feet of the sand. You could hear it buzzing away into the night, then screaming back toward the ground. How long could you wait before pulling up? Good thing that kite was unbreakable. Magic. 

We used to have a term for flying past sunset and into the night. It was called "flying 'till CSS"

CSS = Can't See Sh!t

Thanks for the explanation. It sounded like you were flying on the soccer field.
My bad.

We all care deeply about our sport and its image.

Aww, now don't we all feel better? lol

Allen, got video of that 3D in 15mph? Sounds so cool, as well as the mask with light shining through.

Meant Micron, of course.
