Subject: Back to basics.

Yesterday I drove up to my hometown flying site that sits ontop of a large
hill that over looks one of the most breath taking views of countryside I
have ever seen!

a person can search and travel and sometimes find paradise litteraly in
his/her back yard.

I was suppose to meet some people who never flew a sport kite before from
a local sporting goods shop, but they never showed up. So......pulling out
the diamond kite for the high winds to teach, I started flying. I have not
flown a diamond kite in years, but something about the basics, the ease,
the simplicity of flight that really had me enjoying it for awhile.

I usally like to teach on high performance kites but yesterday I had a
great time putting this "cheap" kite in the hands of any one I could
convince to take the handles. I wasn't worried or thinking about selling
or anything at the time, I just enjoyed watching the faces of these people
of all ages get hooked for the first time. I don't know if they will ever
get involved in kiting, but at least they enjoyed it for a brief while and
left the hill with with a larger smile than they came with.
