Oh smashing, we are kiters(make our own) and are looking forward to being able to start going  back to the Oregon coast ones further into the summer. In the UK we went to a couple in Beverley and Cleethorpes but they were quite small so we didn't veture further afield.

What do you fly?

We went to one in the Uk were they threaded teddies on to a line they went very high then the kite owner had some way of releasing them and they came down on parachutes, the kids loved it.
