Subject: Good Places to Fly Kites in Boston Area

Anyone know of any good sites for flying kites in the Boston 
area, preferably north of Boston?  I have flown kites at the 
various beaches (Crane's, Wingershaek (sp?)), but I was 
wondering if there were any inland sites as well.

Thanks in advance!

Larry

Hi,

welcome to the New-England Kite Scene!

Fly at Nahant Beach, Lynn (RT 1A from Boston). That is the best place except
for the summer (too many people). Now it is quite empty and beautiful.
Paul Lawrence, Rony and others like me fly every weekend there. Often you can
even find people during the week there (after 4 pm). About 750f the people
fly stunt kites (most of them have some single liners too), 
maybe 25 0.000000e+00xclusively single line kites.

We reached a arch-density of about 5 or 6 arches. All together about 500 kites
in arches - most of them owned and made by Paul. Rony is making a nice new one. 
So we have lots of colour there :-). I own one with 94 kites with applications.

A couple of kiters are into making line-toys, like turbos and spinbowls these
days.

We have a couple of very good (single line) makers who won first prices in the
kite making competition in Smithsonian, Philadelphia and Newport during the last 
3 years.

In additions Marty Sasakie's Stunt Kite Team frequently performs there. 


Happy Flying


Kai Griebenow

YES, Nahant beach is the place! We have folks from the north shore, south 
shore, metro west, and even New Hampshire that come to fly at Nahant.

Try It You'll Like It!

SOMEONE is there pretty much anytime flying is good.

When I'm at home in Mass. I fly mostly at Plum Island Beach in 
Newburyport.  There probably aren't many tourists there now.  The 
wind in the late afternoon usually comes right off the water 
making for smooth air.  Good luck.

[Various enquiries about Boston area flying....]

I fly in Cambridge in the park behind the Freshpond mall. The park is
built on an old landfill, so it gets a bit squishy after rain (but that
is not exactly a problem right now!)

It is the highest point around, and there is normally a nice breeze.

See you there......
