This past weekend marked the beginning of a heat wave here in the bay area. Right now though, I'm safely underground away from the sun in the comfort of my lab. Meanwhile, outside it's breaking temperature records in the upper 80s. On Sunday I went kiting with my friend Matt Bush. It was his first time kiting so I pulled out a little of everything. By late afternoon it had finally cleared out enough to stack my 8 ft Flexi's. I hadn't flown these in years, and I remembered why it was that these kites originally brought me into kiting; they're big, bright, and pull like a truck!

Go Matt!
