so last year,sometime before xmas, i highlighted a little "backpack kite" in an REI catalog. and then promptly forgot about it until i unwrapped a present and there it was. so i took it to the beach and other places and tried to figure out how to fly it. some how, some where mrs and i found out about some sort of spring time kite demo in st augustine. when i spied the monster in these pix, i was beyond hooked.....

Much prettier than the tarp monster at Ocean Beach, San Francisco. For a year or so there was this homeless guy who made tarp kites out of 8' X 10' tarps that he used at his camps in Golden Gate Park. It was his way of airing them out. On days when the breeze onshore was steady, you could see his kite monsters menacing the Beach Chalet. They looked like bats or airborne stingrays. I think the cops busted him for vagrancy or whatever. The species diversity of kite world at the beach is much diminished.
