Kite Flying in the Pacific Northwest

Originally hosted in Yahoo Groups, this forum is open to forum members of any age, and from anywhere who flys any kind of kite. It is all about kite flying in the Pacific Northwest. I have set up this group to include room to post your kiting pictures, as well as a list of kiting events in and around the Pacific Northwest area in the calendar section. The "new web sites" section in the main forum includes links to kite shops, kite makers, as well as tips for tuning, flying, or building. The only rule here is "NO SPAM". Outside of that rule, this will be a spot to set a while, relax, and kick up your feet, as we talk, and learn about all forms of kiting. Welcome, and have fun. Make yourself at home here, and let's all work to make this a positive place for all kiteflyers.
