  • An Introduction and Brief History
    KITES An Introduction and Brief History SKY WIND WORLD.ORG FLYING A ROKAKKU - FLYING BUFFALO PROJECT HISTORY From China kites spread to neighboring countries and across the seas to the Pacific region. At the same time they spread across Burma, India and arriving in North Africa about 1500 years ago. They did not arrive in Europe or America until much later probably via the trade routes Kites are thought to have originated in China about 3000 years ago. One story is that a fisherman was out on a windy day and his hat blew away and got caught on his fishing line which was then when these areas developed. blown up in to the air. Bamboo was a ready source of straight sticks for spars and silk fabric was available to make a light covering, then in the 2nd century AD paper was invented and is still used to this day. PHYSICS Kites fly when thrust, lift, drag and gravity are balanced. The flying line and bridle hold the kite at an angle to the wind so that the air flows faster across the top than the bottom producing the lift. THE PARTS OF A KITE 1 THE SAIL • This can be made of any material such as paper, fabric or plastic. • It is used to trap the air. The air must have somewhere to escape otherwise it spills over the front edge and makes the kite wobble. This can be done by using porous fabric or making it bend backwards to allow the air to slip smoothly over the side.

  • Kap Guide BBHD
    Notes on K I T E A E R I A L P H O T O G R A P H Y I N T R O D U C T I O N This guide is prepared as an introduction to the acquisition of photography using a kite to raise the camera. It is in 3 parts: Application Equipment Procedure It is prepared with the help and guidance from the world wide KAP community who have been generous with their expertise and support. Blending a love of landscape and joy in the flight of a kite, KAP reveals rich detail and captures the human scale missed by other (higher) aerial platforms. It requires patience, ingenuity and determination in equal measure but above all a desire to capture the unique viewpoint achieved by the intersection of wind, light and time. Every flight has the potential to surprise us with views of a familiar world seen anew. Mostly this is something that is done for the love of kite flying: camera positioning is difficult and flight conditions are unpredictable. If predictable aerial imagery is required and kite flying is not your thing then other UAV methods are recommended: if you are not happy flying a kite this is not for you. If you have not flown a kite then give it a go without a camera and see how you feel about it: kite flying at its best is a curious mix of exhilaration, spiritual empathy with the environment and relaxation of mind and body brought about by concentration of the mind on a single object in the landscape.

  • Kitesurfing a - Z
    Kitesurfing A - Z A Airfoil (aerofoil): a wing, kite, or sail used to generate lift or propulsion. Airtime: the amount of time spent in the air while jumping. AOA, Angle of Attack: also known as the angle of incidence (AOI) is the angle with which the kite flies in relation to the wind. Increasing AOA generally gives more lift. AOI, Angle of Incidence: angle which the kite takes compared to the wind direction Apparent wind, AW: The wind felt by the kite or rider as they pass through the air. For instance, if the true wind is blowing North at 10 knots and the kite is moving West at 10 knots, the apparent wind on the kite is NW at about 14 knots. The apparent wind direction shifts towards the direction of travel as speed increases. Aspect Ratio, AR: the ratio of a kites width to height (span to chord). Kites can range between a high aspect ratio of about 5.0 or a low aspect ratio of about 3.0. AR5: The legendary first 4 line inflatable kite manufactured by Naish. ARC: a foil kite manufactured by Peter Lynn B Back Loop: a kitesurfing trick where the kiter rotates backward (begins by turning their back toward the kite) while throwing his/her feet above the level of his/her head. Back Roll: same as a back loop but without getting their feet up high. Batten: a length of carbon or plastic which adds stiffness or shape to the kite or sail. Bear Away / Bear Off: change your direction of travel to a more downwind direction.

Trolling Gear In California Permalink https://escholarship.org/uc/item/1b29p07c Author Scofield, W L Publication Date 1955-09-01 eScholarship.org Powered by the California Digital Library University of California STATE OF CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF FISH AND GAME BUREAU OF MARINE FISHERIES FISH BULLETIN No. 103 Trolling Gear In California By W. L. SCOFIELD MARINE FISHERIES BRANCH 1956 1 FIGURE 1. Outline map of California, showing the location of the more important fishing ports 2 3 4 FOREWORD Trolling may be conducted from a small boat thereby requiring a low original investment and the gear used is relat- ively inexpensive compared with netting operations. As a result, this manner of fishing has attracted hundreds of commercial fishermen along the 1,000 miles of California coast. In recent years, commercial men are being out- numbered by the host of sport fishermen, many of whom do trolling at some time during the year. Sport fishermen pioneered ocean trolling in California and have initiated several of the improvements that have been adopted during the 75 years since ocean trolling started in this State. An account, from time to time, of the gear and methods of operating is desirable for each of our important fisher- ies. Not only may changes be noted, but gear and methods of fishing have a direct bearing when appraising the re- cords of catch per unit of fishing effort in attempts to determine changes in the supply of fish in the ocean. The following descriptions of gear (when not dated) apply to 1955.

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.
