Looking along the coast lines these days and seeing hundreds of kites,it makes me wonder when it will reach its capacity,its only a new sport and its growth is staggering and it doesent look like stopping its like a freight train out of control!.If it doesent peak and there is no foreseeing when it does at what stage and who steps in to police it. The money hungry kite manufactures are stacking the bucks and are happy to continue but who picks up the pieces when things go wrong!kit malfunction wont be the problem but collissions will becum a regular occurrence with the way its growing so sooner or later there must and will be some regulator that takes the reins,but who will be the traffic controllerYou know your up there when you look down on your kite

What the ???

How big is the ocean??

How long is our coastline??

Is there that many kiters? More than surfers??

Does paranoia come in a kite bag?

I don't think we are as important as we like to think. Only kiters notice kites. The public only rejoice when they see it then forget.

I may be paranoid, but that doesn't mean they're not out to get me!
