Let's Go Fly a Kite



After a long weekend of work I took a couple hours this morning to fly a kite. Not any kite. A badass parachute kite that on many gusts threatened to throw me to the ground.

I bought this kite over six months ago and have been waiting for that long to fly it. Very few windy days in Atlanta. In Florida the original 100lb test lines broke. I ordered 300lb test for Jamaica but there were no wide beaches I could fly it on. So when I woke up and saw wind I went for it.

Piedmont park. Cold. Windy. Lonely. But windy. It took me a while to get it up (the kite). But once it got up it was a blast. Amazing pull on this thing.

My father called. He and my sister decided to check it out. Sr. flew the kite and Kendy watched. Then we went to eat at Woody's.

Cool morning. Badass kite.
