What do you do with old kites?
Can anyone think of a use to recycle them back into the world.
I think my old 18m torch could make a good beach shade.
Perhaps if we got them all together we could make something huge.

Not that the 18m would suit but Marvin from Intheloop has given away a couple old kites to the locals on the trips to PNG. It's a pretty cool way to share the stoke if you want someone to get some real use out of it.

Yeah, I gave a couple of old kite to a bloke who took them to Indo for the youngsters to play with, repair and cannibalize for parts.

It was that or cut them up and chuck em. I like the first option better.

This can be done spectacularly [}:)]. There are a few who understand how much so...

Would that depend on what kite you burnt wether they would be more appeased or offended?

Not nessesary mate. I'm in WA!!!!!!!

I'm in W.A and I am interested!!!!
But I don't want any of these cyclones getting attracted.
I was thinking maybe a bag to use on a kite with inflated struts would be cool.
