There is an interesting discussion on the Gone With The Wind Forum about the future of organized kite flying. Apparently over the years, there has been a steady decline in participation at both a competition and organization level. There just aren’t as many kiteflyers competing at competitions, attending kite festivals, or joining the AKA. I’ve been thinking about this phenomenon for a long time, and will probably write some stuff down in the future… but in the mean time, jump on over to the GWTW forum and see what others are saying about the situation.

The thing about Revs (and quadline in general), is that the moves you can do are only limited by your imagination. Because of this, anything I write will exclude your favorite move. I’m going to be talking about the ones I use-and I’m coming up with new ones fairly often. >> read the rest of this post.
