kiting

I was flying my kite on Earth Day, and the local news picked up on it, snapped a photo, and published a story for Earth Day. The resulting photo is pretty cool!

Side note - this new zero-wind kite is pretty awesome. It's a real workout to keep it in the air when there's no wind, but definitely do-able, and a lot of fun either way.

Disc golf, followed by a kite flying session this morning. I think I finally found my spot for flying kites in my hometown! My zero-wind lite kite did really well today, and it was a significant workout to boot.

I can’t wait to fly this thing! It’s SO light, and delicate, but it’s rated at 0-15MPH wind speeds. I love my Quantum but it’s really hard to keep that thing in the air at those speeds. If you had short enough lines, you could fly this in a gymnasium.

IT FREAKING WORKED! I had to make a single minor adjustment - the clip didn’t pinch hard enough. Nothing a cotter pin couldn’t fix! I’ll upload the video soon, but it is really…REALLY stable. I’m positively thrilled by the result!

I have the prototype for the kite mount assembled. Can’t wait to give this thing a try this weekend while we’re in the Outer Banks!

We visited Cavendish Beach, a site that was suggested to us by a local. She referred to it as "cavy", and asked her co worker what she thought of the recommendation with an "eh?"

Cavy creates this beautiful gradation from blue to red as the water hits the red soil on the coast.

I practiced my kite stalls, barefoot on the beach, while the kids played in the cold water. I love beach days!

We're just arrived on Prince Edward Island, and I noticed it was windy when we parked. Excited, I go out and try to fly my kite, which of course is when the wind dies.

I miss the constant wind on the Outer Banks. I hear they do some kite surfing here though, so maybe I'll have more luck on the beach. ????

I have finished the first iteration of the GoPro camera mount for my Delta kite. Can't wait to get it printed and try it out!

Got the kite up to a full 500 feet with the camera attached but it was too wobbly to look good. I have some ideas on how I can stabilize it though. ????
