Subject: Development of kiting in the U.S.

Hello !

For School I have to write a work with the topic: "The development of sportive
kiting in the USA"

Now I am searching for material on how sportive kiting started, how kiting now
is covered by the media etc.

Can anybody from you people over the pond send me material ?

Bye, thanks in advance, Fridolin.

It is a tradition on the Internet that every year at about this time, another
new batch of students get both their assignments and their first access to the
net at the same time, figure that one might be the solution for the other and
set us their homework to do.  Even if they don't mention it in the post, you
can usually spot it by:
	student@foo.bar.edu Email address
	vague, all-encompasing question
	"I'm conducting a survey on..."
	Request for replies by Email, 'cos they don't read the group
Or some other give-away.  You might just be lucky enough to find someone
here who *will* take the time to write a detailed piece for you, there are
certainly people around who have probably forgotten more about that subject
than I'll ever learn, but in the meantime, I reccommend:

	Check out the rec.kites archive in ftp.hawaii.edu:/rec/kites

Of particular interest will be the General FAQ, which amongst other things
may help you locate a mirror somewhat closer to home, and the Book FAQ, which
may provide a good reference.  

A tactic that may prove fruitful would be to research some portion of your
project and publish it here.  We would be interested to read it, and if
there is some detail about which you have been mis-informed or some detail
that you are unable to find, I would be surprised if you were not helped by
someone who could speak with authority on the matter.

You owe the Kite Oracle an apple.
