Thursday before the South Padre Island Kite Festival, Bill and Susie Doan of B&S Kites (the festival organizers) host a special indoor performance for the public. Unlike Windless Kite Festival, which is mainly a competition, this is a performance. The invited fliers ar...

About ten years ago, I was driving from Colorado to South Padre Island in a camper van with two fellow kite fliers. A roughly 18 hour drive that we tried to split between the three of us. It was one of those famously rough road trips where you get to know the people yo...
