It seems that one thing that all kite fliers have in common is a desire to fly their kites anywhere and everywhere. Some fly their kites in tricky weather conditions, urban spaces, confined indoor facilities, or where you would least expect it. Recently we asked our membership on the AKA Facebook page: Where is the most difficult place you have ever flown a kite?
Here is a list of some of the answers.
- A 12′ by 12′ area inside a retirement home, with an indoor quad and 10′ lines.
- On a floating dock
- On the Cape May-Lewes Ferry
- Top of a parking structure during the Detroit F1 Grand Prix
