First off, thank for the responses. I am new to this whole discussion board thing...and kiting. I have been on the Dutch board suggested by Craig, but I thought since Lars and Paul are always on this site, why not post here? I was hoping they might answer...without harrassing them directly. Lucky me!
I normally fly in the Westerpark most days, except in the warmer months. The Dutch love their sun when they can get it. Thus, I can't fly in the Westerpark in the summer because there are so many sunbathers...and they don't like my kite flying over them and their kids. If there were many attractive single women sunbathing actually naked, I probably wouldn't even get the kite out. In reality, it's just alot of kids, blankets, and people chillin'.
BensonTwins: Yeah, actually, I live really near the harbor...just on the Haarlemmerweg across from the Westerpark. I can bike to the IJ in 3 minutes...have you a secret spot? It would be quite exciting to happen run into you guys flying nearby me!? I was also thinking of scouting Noord A'dam but haven't gotten around to it yet.
Fingers crossed! By the way, saw you fly at Duiven...you didn't disappoint despite the low wind. Lars, you are a real inspiration to those like me, starting "late" and still feeling a kid's passion for it. Dank je wel voor alles, videos en zo!
