I LOVED those bat kites! Flying them on the beach in Cape May - fun times.

No, you just think you haven't.I haven's seen a hallucination in years.![]()

Long time kite lover here too. Just got back a few weeks ago from the Outer Banks beaches and the kite flying was phenomenal! I have a very similar kite to the Bat kite which is essentially a flying wing. My rip stop nylon Flying Wing kite spooled out crazy fast and flew up into the clouds! Great time…Ditto! They were so modern, and they worked really well. Bulletproof (as much as a kite can be).
But my favorite kite memories are from when I lived in Bangkok as a boy in 65-7. The kite festivals were crazy. So many amazingly large and complex kites. We loved watching and participating.
