One thing I have not been able to find out there is a product that can be applied to the Leading edge of a kite to ...

Hi...I'm interested in kiting. What to buy?

Hi all. I'm getting very interested in kiting. I live in Minneapolis, but travel all over the state for work. I am reading as much as I can, and have talked to some people about what kind of gear I will be needing. I am also looking at taking some lessons asap. What can you all tell me about the siz...
