Kiting seems to have more than its share of fine people committed to the hobby/sport. It is generally characterized by people who love to share: share the sky, share building tips, share flying techniques and share personal friendship.

No one exemplifies this better than Carlos Simoes of Cambridge, ON. Carlos is a wonderful person, fine family man and highly skilled kiter who simply loves to build and fly kites in a sky that he shares with friends all across North America.

The Kitchener-Waterloo Record newspaper did a feature on Carlos that shows his deep love of kites, the sky and the people who share his passion for tethered flight.

I am indeed fortunate to have Carlos as a close friend and compatriot of the winds! I hope you enjoy this well deserved tribute to a guy I call my 'Wing Man'.
