Kites and Powerball

Recovering from the Best Potluck Party of 2004, I spent my Saturday with two friends flying kites (a kite boarding trainer and a regular two-line control one) and competing for the top score in Powerball:

Preparing the Kite Board trainer after fixing one of its many string snaps, a consequence of bad knots, beginner control and the strong Clover Point winds.

Launched.

We practiced control of the kite, leaning and sliding on the grass and basically trying to keep the kite from either dying or pulling us onto the road.

Hector demonstrates loosing control.

In between applying grass stains, I fly the regular kite.
