I pick the prettiest part of the sky and I melt into the wing and then into the air, till I’m just soul on a sunbeam.<\/i> ~Richard Bach<\/p>\n

Kite flying has always looked like such fun to me and a little boy at the beach on Labor Day weekend with a stunt kite inspired me to get my own. A stunt kite has two lines for control and is not anything one can put up into the sky and tie off to a beach chair to be forgotten while you sunbathe.<\/p>\n

You have to manage this thing and boy, is it fun! A gentle (or not so much) tug on either the right-handed or left-handed line will set the kite diving in whichever direction… the wind plays its hand and the kite is making loop the loops in a dangerous spiral towards someone’s umbrella…<\/p>\n

Crash!!<\/p>\n

There was much giggling and some cheering, even… a brisk wind and the sun low on the beach at Cape May… the lighthouse behind us… the curiosity of an Amish family out for a seaside afternoon…<\/p>\n

I hadn’t felt so lighthearted in a long while.<\/p>\n

And next I want to learn how to do tricks!<\/p>\n
