Our Spot - Arial Cameras are fun
The summer has been beautiful, and as we said earlier, we made the decision to not waste our time at the summer conventions here in the states. After speaking to those that did attend them, as far as sales went, our decision was dead on. The organizers continue to be clueless as far as location, scheduling and talent that will draw. So we decided to enjoy the summer. And what a summer it has been. We added a new hobby, I guess performance is in our blood so it was a natural.

Dual Line Stunt Kites are a blast in high winds. Hang on with two handles and prepared to be dragged down the beach. |
Then came power kites than can lift you off the beach, add to that single line kites, sky art and mega kites and the show grew. We have gotten a little eloborate at the shore, and so many beach goers stop each evening and say thank you for beautiful show to music every weekend. We do it because it is art, and fun, and beautiful. It is work and at the same time relaxing. Everyone knows us, thanks us, and we have made many new friends. We never expected that reaction, it was humbling to say the least. The nice thing is that thousands there enjoy it as much as we do, and the expression on a small childs face is the look we all got to know when we do that magic, and they truly believe. Priceless. We have been able to transform adults back to kids, and kids into dreamers. I have been known to give a few kites away, and again, the expression is priceless. The show goes on, and our collection keeps growing. Here are a few shots so far this summer. The kites in the air there are 12-16 feet across and as one of our flags say "The one who dies with the most toys WINS". Click on any picture, they get bigger.
