WHAT DOES A DAY DURING THE FESTIVAL LOOK LIKE?

Wake up and check the wind and if it is windy enough and clear enough there is someone trying to be the first to get a session in. We should have an award for this kiter but if not windy and clear often someone is skinning up and laying down some fresh tracks. Then back for breakfast. We supply a few snacks and drinks for participants to grab and eat or stuff in their pockets. It's non stop fun even in bad weather. Always stuff going on. 

Last year, once again we had a fantastic time with more participants than ever.  This coming Kite Fest we hope to raise the bar again. Last couple years we had a sauna on wheels.  This is a game changer being that after a raging day of fun and beauty one can soath in the sauna and get all cleaned up for a better nights rest and back at it the next day without going to Valdez for a shower.
