Kite Flying Stuff...

In a dull moment, otherwise lacking in inspiration, I decided to start an inventory of my kite collection. Only managed the following kites before boredom set in. Anyway, descriptions and full size pictures can be found by clicking on the lists in the frame to the left.

Links to excellent kite web resources are provided below:

Commercial Sites:

The following, without a doubt are the among best commercial sites on the internet:
