Kites were invented about 2,500 years ago and vvere made by the ancient
Egyptians and various Asian people. Today kite f1ying is a popular pastime all
over the vvorld.

In Asia, there are special competitions vvhere kites have complex designs
and Eire equipped with instruments such as whistles that make musical
sounds as the wind blows through them. Although all kites have a similar
structure, the variety of shapcs is almost endless. The size of the kites also
varies greatly - somc are so large that sevcral people are needed to control
them. Kite-íĩghting contests are also hcld, in which competitors use their
kites to attack and bring down their opponent’s kites or cut their strings.
For over 15 years, the Big Wind Kite Kactory has been giving kite-making and
kite-flying classes for the childrcn on the island of Molokai in Hawaii. Jonathan
Socher started the Big Wind Kite Pactory inl980. “We were down to our last $300
when someone suggestcd wc go íly a kite at the hotel,” he explains.

Their kites are made of nylon, and Tibreglass is used for the sticks. Their
designs are mostly IIawaiian themes created by Jonathan’s wife, Daphne.
These include hula danccrs, palm trees, dolphins, whales and Hawaiian
boats, to mention just a few of the dozens available. The designs are cut out
of the nylon with a hot knife that seals the edges to prevent íraying. The
designs are then applycd directly onto the kite. On a tour of the Big Wind
Kite Pactory, visitors can see the whole kite-making process, from the cutting
and “hot-stitching” of the designs to the íinal sticking and íĩtting of the
System that joins the kite to the string.
