Kite engineers in the Bay area?

Post by g4ce » Thu May 24, 2007 11:06 am

Are there any engineers in the Bay area who are passionate about kiteboarding and have an entrepreneurial interest? I have an idea for a new kite design and I need help developing the autocad cut panel files for the prototype.. if you have experience with this and I've piqued your interest send me a message. The concept is simple but unique.

Adamrod? You seemed pretty good at those solidworks files you sent me for your board.

I have AutoCAD and SolidWorks experience and worked with post files for CNC, laser cutting and marking machines. If the idea is indeed unique and worth time, I'd be up for getting involved.

Let me know what you have in mind.

According to this Blog: http://www.kitevc.blogspot.com/

There is:

A). Software to enable you to design your own kite: http://www.surfplan.com.au/sp/

B). "Fred Stemmelin of BlogKite also knows of several factories in China where you can get your kites made...." http://www.blogkite.com/
