Into the Wind used to stock a 9-ft delta stunter and an even bigger parafoil-type kite.  They also sold augers & harnesses to keep you on the ground!

back in the day.... it was my "I hate my ex wife beer drink'n" spot  [laugh]

when my kids were younger, I'd take them up there to fly kites.
Gaspar, Melchior and Balthasar kicked me out of the band..... they said I didnt fit the image they were trying to project. 

So I went solo.  -Me

I just remember the ones that had 2 thin pieces of wood stapled together.  The ends of the wood strips went to the 4 corners of the kite that had like an Airplane graphic on the front .

Then we'd make a Tail out of strips of an old sheet , tie on some string in the middle and if the Wind was blowing 15mph or no more than 20 mph we could get the kite up 100 feet or more. Lots of good fun !   Dolph   :)
