2. Why did you join the AKA? I joined as a way to network with others in kiting. Love to read through the magazine when it comes out!
3. What is your favorite kite to fly? That would all depend on conditions….but I do enjoy soft kites a lot.
4. Where is your favorite place to fly? At the beach…..any beach……pick one!!!
5. If you could fly with anyone dead or alive, who would it be, and what would you fly? hmmm…..I’d like to fly with Rod Thrall…..he’s been so helpful in my building.
6. Where is the next place someone can find you flying a kite? Saturday, April 30, at the Atlantic Coast Kite Festival in Virginia Beach!
