Let us not forget all those who were lost! My sincerest sympathy and prayers go out to all those affected by the terrible acts of violence perpetrated against the US on Tuesday, September 11, 2001. I can not begin to express my feelings regarding this day. May we all remain strong in our convictions and in our belief in freedom. And may we all find the strength to carry on! Con Engels, owner of Windstar Kites |

What Windstar Kites is all about!Whether at the beach, or flying at your local flying field, you will be sure to have fun with this great leisure activity. There are kites made for all different types of wind conditions, from high wind kites to zero wind kites. Windstar Kites is here to help you find the right kite for you. Some of the various types of kites are, single line, box, deltas, dual line stunt and sport kites, quad line, power kites, and even airplane models. Readily available are Flexifoil, HQ, Prism Design, Inter Active Kites, Peter Lynn, Revolution, New Tech, Premier, just to name a few manufacturers. Modern kiting has evolved to an ever-changing complex science, using high tech materials, such as carbon and fiberglass for frame material. Dacron and Spectra is most commonly used for kite lines. Ripstop nylon, Polyester and Chikara ripstop are the predominate fabrics used (with others up and coming), and Kevlar is sometimes used for sail reinforcements. How to fly videos, books on flying and kite building, along with the supplies to build them are also available. Con Engels of Windstar Kites is proud to be an active participant in
many local community events and kite building workshops for children of
all ages (even those of us that never quite grew up). He also attends regional
and national kiting festivals. Along with Con, many other flyers enjoy
kiting all year round, in varied weather conditions, rainstorms being the
major exception (we all know what Benjamin Franklin did in his famous experiment
involving a kite). Remember always to fly safely and follow these tips
.
