Good morning,

We are not writing from Berlin, Maryland, but from Berlin, Germany. Right now we are enjoying watching the men work in front of the KiteLoft using your camera site. We were just in your store in October when a very friendly young lady from Poland also showed us where the camera is mounted.

This camera site is a great invention and it makes us feel right at home, since we lived in Silver Spring a long time and had our summers in Ocean City. We come back regularly and are planning our next visit already for this year. We remember the Kite store when you had it near the Plim Plaza. Our nephew even once won a prize in the contest for kiddies.

The items we bought we still enjoy here in Berlin. The helix is our favorite and we have also made these as gifts to friends here.

Have a good second season.

Sincerely,


Barbara and Dietmar Buve

Hello. Just to let you know - you have just made my day! My son is on a long holiday in Ocean City so I'm missing him. He has just been down to the beach to give me a wave here at work in rainy England on your webcam. Isn't technology wonderful. I just felt I wanted to say thank you and tell you what a lovely shop and website you have.
Kind regards

I was DELIGHTED to see that the kite man is still in Ocean City, MD...I moved to Arizona in 1980 at the age of 15 and before that was born and raised in MD. How I miss Ocean City and the beautiful kites that would brighten the sky during my summer visits. Now I have the desert (no ocean), the sun (sunblock 2000), no rain (we die of dry heat out here) and am so sorry I was transplanted out here. I just wanted to say that I have the internet and now I can visit the pictures when I am feeling homesick...and I have been homesick EVERYDAY for the past 26 years!
I have very fond memories as a youngster of walking the boardwalk with my mother and seeing the beautiful kites. What fun summers I had as a child. Here in Arizona...well that's another story...
Thank you for the tradition of flying the beautiful colors high in the sky...!!!!!!!

Always a Marylander (now in Arizona)

PS...keep on flying high!!!!!!!!!!

I am a beginner at the blog business but not as a customer of Kite Loft. My daughter turns 24 this month, and I bought her a Bird of Paradise kite to celebrate (also, she just got married). In August of 1984, Andrea started to visit Ocean City annually. Later, at 5 and beyond, she and I returned each year during the Week of the Firemen and began our pursuit of kites together. She has a patriotic delta, a snowflake in fluorescent colors, and a dragon. I have a hydrofoil, an orange diamond with endangered species, a blue diamond with a wolf, a penta with dolphins encircling, and one or two more. We've shared them, and mostly, we've loved them. I rarely come to O.C. due to health and money, but you have brought joy to my family and my life. An aside: Andrea's first grade teacher was married to and mother to engineers. Jean returned to school after raising her sons to teach. My daughter was part of her first year class. Jean taught forces, pushes, and pulls. She had her husband bring in a kite to fly outside for the kids as part of the lesson. Jean was phenomenal and memorable. When she died from cancer 5 years later, a kite was displayed at her funeral which was really a celebration of her life. Thank you for your important and special part in our lives.

To whom it may concern,

I recently purchased a Prism E06 on Thursday, 10/9/08. I took it out on the beach the next day and it was a little difficult getting it up at first, but once in the air it looked awesome and got lots of looks from the boardwalk in front of your store. I think I had it up to 200 ft and found it easier to do stunts at around 100 ft. I have not flown a kite since I was a little kid and this box kite seemed easy to fly even being a beginner such as myself. It truly is an awesome kite and very forgiving. When it did drop out of the air it was the softest landing I had ever seen, once I landed on the fence next to the dunes and again another soft landing with no damage. When packing up to go, I just fold and put into case. That is truly one of the best selling points for me. I cannot give this kite enough praise.
