Kite Flying Day
By me_n_osh

That dusty old kite you abandoned years ago has been in your basement for way too long. It has been wishing for just one thing... Some fresh air. Why not give the poor kite the freedom it deserves? And what better day than today to do it? Get your kites out and live the best of your childhood again! Fly kites like never before! Challenge your friends and see whose kite flies higher. And if you don't know how to fly a kite, don't worry!

Tips:
• A diamond or dragon shaped kite flies easily whereas a square shaped kite would require stronger winds.
• Don't fly your kites near tress or power lines or any sky high obstacles. Wide spaces always work best.
• When launching the kite, be sure to have your back to the wind. If the wind is light, have a friend hold the kite down wind and hold your line taught, reeling in slowly until the kite launches.
• Don't let the line out too quickly. Let the line out at the same pace the kite is gaining altitude.

Did you know that the world record for the longest kite fly is 180 hours?
