One of Oregon’s most unique events, the Southern Oregon Kite Festival is held at the Port of Brookings Harbor on the third weekend in July. This year marks the 26th year the kite festival has been held in this seaside community. This free two-day “one of a kind” festival attracts nationally and internationally renowned kite flyers and kite makers to Oregon’s southern coast. This invitational event originated in 1993 as the dream of kite enthusiast Steve O’Brien and as the creation of Larry and Lynn Goodman, former owners of KCRE radio station in Crescent City, California (see next page). In 2001 the Port of Brookings Harbor assumed sponsorship of the festival. Since 2006 the kite festival has been organized by a dedicated group of volunteers from the Brookings-Harbor community. Every flyer who is invited to participate in the Kite Festival is a guest of the community. Generous donations from businesses and citizens of Brookings-Harbor and the Wild Rivers Coast area contribute to bringing more than thirty premier kite flyers to the area. Transportation, accommodations, and meals are provided to the invited flyers. In turn, the kite flyers produce a fabulous two-day extravaganza for the community and its guests. The best of the best demonstrate their amazing kite flying routines, choreographed to music. Without the pressure of competition, these world class flyers exhibit their awe-inspiring aerial skills, creating an atmosphere of fun and excitement for attendees of all ages. A special feature of the festival is the Children’s Kite Making Workshop, hosted by the Rogue Valley Windchasers. On both days the workshop includes kite construction and flying techniques culminating in an afternoon Children’s Kite Parade, offering a fun activity for youngsters. There is a vendor area with a variety of specialty food items and a multitude of arts and crafts on sale for the enjoyment of festival attendees. Commemorative t-shirts are available and help defray the cost of the festival. Other weekend activities include the Indoor Kite Flying Demonstration on Friday evening at the Brookings-Harbor High School gymnasium. At the popular Auction Banquet on Saturday evening kite flyers, kite makers, and local businesses contribute collectible kites and other memorabilia to benefit the kite festival. Brookings-Harbor, Oregon, welcomes one and all to the 26th Annual Southern Oregon Kite Festival, featuring award-winning national and international kite flyers. 12 Rules & Regulations 1. Have Fun!! 2. Keep off the kite field at all times; there are lines on the field that could harm you or a kite if you got tangled in them. 3. Obey security and festival personnel, for your safety and safety of others. 4. If you are lost or you have lost someone or something, inform the HQ tent. 5. Have a great day and enjoy the show! 13 Art Alley Grille Traditional American fare is served with wines in a casual setting filled with local art. Address: 515 Chetco Ave, Brookings, OR (541) 469-0800 14 15 Kite Facts & Trivia The fastest recorded speed of a kite is over 120 mph (193 km/h). The smallest functional kite in the world is 5mm high. The largest number of kites flown on a single line is 11,284. The longest kite in the world is 1034 metres (3394 ft). The largest kite in the world is 55 x 22 metres (1210 sq metres). The record for the highest single kite flown is 3801 metres (12,471 ft). The world record for the longest kite flight is 180 hours. Kite flying was banned in China during the Cultural Revolution. Anyone flying a kite was sent to jail for up to three years, and their kites destroyed. Kite flying was banned in Japan in 1760 because too many people preferred to fly kites than work. For centuries kites have been used in wars and battles, for signaling, target practice, lifting observers, as barrage kites and for dropping propaganda leaflets. The Chinese believe that looking at kites high in the sky maintains good eyesight. Kites were used in the American Civil War to deliver letters and newspapers. Large kites were banned in East Germany because of the possibility of lifting people over the Berlin Wall. When the Japanese were building some of the early temples & shrines, they used large kites to lift tiles and other materials to the workers on the roofs. The Russians used kites to tow torpedoes. More adults in the world fly kites than children. The first kites flown over 3000 years ago were made from leaves. You do not need wind to fly a kite. Each year, in some part of the world, there is at least one Kite Festival every weekend. 16 Friends of the SOKF Thank you to all the businesses and individuals who have contributed generously to make this year’s kite festival a success!

Dies lässt sich schon nur an der Anzahl Kite Schulen aufzeigen, die jährlich wie Pilze aus dem Boden schiessen. Die klimatischen Bedingungen auf Kuba sind prädestiniert zum Kite Surfen und das Nachfragepotenzial, insbesondere in Varadero ist viel versprechend. Ursprünglich sollte diese Diplomarbeit der Frage nachgehen, wie man eine Kite Surf Schule auf Kuba eröffnet und erfolgreich betreibt. Aber durch die standortbedingten Schwierigkeiten auf Kuba wurde aus dem ursprünglich geplanten Businessplan ein gewagter Spagat zwischen einem Businessplan und einer Machbarkeitsstudie. Der Businessplan wurde absichtlich möglichst allgemein gehalten, damit das Konzept der Kite Schule bei Bedarf auch auf eine andere Destination angepasst werden kann. Résumé Le kite surf est un nouveau sport de mode qui attire de plus en plus de gents dans le monde entier. Ca on remarque déjà dans le nombre de nouvelles écoles de Kite qui ouvrent leurs portes chaque année. Les conditions climatiques à Cuba sont prédestinées pour pratiquer le kite surf. Le potentiel de la demande, surtout à Varadero est immense. A l’origine ce travail de diplôme aurait dû s’occuper de la question, comment ouvrir et gérer avec succès une école de kite surf à Cuba.
