NCSKG – 2009
By Scott | May 20, 2009
The North Coast Stunt Kite Games were hosted by the Black Swamp Air Force kite club at Maumee Bay State Park July 17-19, 2009. I believe this was the 27th year. The games are a nice diversion for me from windsurfing though I was working. I set up a small canopy and sell a few kites. I also find time to fly a few kites along with demo flying power kites and the kite buggy. As you can see below next to me is a very professional traveling kite trailer store. It’s hard for me to sell much as that trailer seems to just suck people into it.
The games attract a large crowd of around 100 kite flyers and a big public crowd of spectators. Friday is fly a big kite day and Saturday is a jungle of kites in the air day. Sunday is more public flying with most of the crews packing up and heading out by noonish. We could use a field twice the size but somehow people manage to share the air. Most everyone sets up a sun shade canopy at the edge of the flying area as it’s usually hot here in Ohio mid-July. This year a pleasant cool front blew in some nice temperatures all weekend long.
