there must be a million old kites laying around in sheds, car ports, up in trees or lost at sea . i have a few around that are good for nothing but have served me well and feel that there should be a kite nirvana . have you ever sent a kite to the after life in flames or recycled it into something useful

look at you mr haircut in kite forum you are sooooooo a kiter and i'am restocking my pole gear, a week of wave riding at corro's and its all coming back to me, kite morning , sail all afternoon and party all night long , god bless Australia

There was an article in one of the recent Kiteboarder mags with someone who was recycling old kites and turning them into bags.
I reckon the best project would be to use a couple of old kites and turn them into an inflatable beach shelter.

I think it was on kiteforum once, a link to a company in the US where you could send your old kites and for about $100 they make them into a trendy jacket or vest.

'Trendy' of course being open to interpretation, and myself being the anti-expert on 'trendy', I don't know if you'd wear them to Tiger Lils on a Friday night, but they looked alright to me.

Sjoukje Bredenkamp was wearing a dress made of old kites by some trendy Cape Town designer around the 2006 African Boat Show.

I felt like turning my Naish X3 into DOG POO BAGS,
would have been a fitting ending.

I think some one with sewing skills could change a 16 - 20m kite into some sort of modern hybrid with out too much trouble by cutting the sides off and ataching some sort of simple bridle ??????
