Kites
Lets go fly a kite, up to the highest height !
 Beaches
are a great location to fly kits, lots of open space, and wind. People will
fly kits away from the beach visitors, else they get their lines tangled up.
One of the best beaches I have found for flying kits is the Gower, and in
particular the Llangenneth beach. Miles of open space there.
Kites have been a part of history for hundreds of
years and is a craft and a sport widely participated in still today. Some
cultures have special meanings for kite flying, but for many other people,
it is a fun thing to do on a windy afternoon.
A kite is a flying tethered object, the necessary
lift that makes the kite fly is generated when airflow over and under the
kite creates low pressure above the kite and high pressure below it. The
history of kites can be traced back thousands of years to when kites first
originated in China. The initial usage of kites was purely military, they
were a communication tool. Different messages were communicated mainly via
different colour kites.
