What's the weirdest thing you did with a kite?

I made sand skies for kite-sand-skiing. You basically take skies, cut them in half, hack some bindings to connect to a massive hiking boot, and go try to injure yourself with the kite.

Don't try it at home, try it at school.

Highly unrecommended

Charlie,
When those 10th generation kites you were talking about come out, you'll be able to launch going west, then fly south for while, then east, then back to west... And don't forget the remote control launch button. :mrgreen:
