as the wind picks up the sand begins to blow around the beach . kites high up in the sky swooping, turning and some luffing the immense pull from these much loved toys creates an atmosphere only generated by the love for this great sport. the riders are mad most must be crazzy 20ft airs and the like inpsiring the younger generations and oloder alike to pull off wilder tricks and more thought out rotations the feeling of flying without wings is common among us the warm feeling we all crave. among all the bad points there is good when it all goes wrong and it will on occasions it will be terrible but when it goes right the feeling is unreal unlike that of anything i have felt and still love to feel the launching of the kite straight through the wind window up soaring into the air with the pull making us slide man made tracks left behind. i have been kiting for a few years and love it.it still gives me the same buzz as before.
kiting i think i more of a drug than a hobbie to me i cant get enough after the all day long session is over all i can think about is the next one. its a terrible addiction and one i wont grow out of.
i still long for the trees across from my house to sway from side to side and when they sit motionless i remeber the dreaded kiters curse which falls upon us that whenever a new specail kite is bought there is no wind.
for all you new to the sport i wish you good luck as i have enjoyed every momment that it has given me although i dont get out as much as i used to i still push my limits when i do go out.
and thats what its all about weather your having fun with the family, hanging with friends, doing photoshoots for magazines, its all about pushing the limits of ones own personal thresh hold
