Is it only a question of time before we see the canopies of kites become flying billboards for all manner of advertising campaigns?

The Sydney Opera House was used (albeit illegally) for a huge political statement back at the start of the Gulf War with the 'No War' signage. Can kites be used in the same way?

If my memory serves me well, I think I can recall (back in the early 80's) windsurf sails having COKE signage and; shock....horror, even cigarette brands on some promo sails!

Hey Guys,

There was a guy in Oz who started a business by buying specially made all white production kites and was selling advertising space on them to the highest bidder.

A mate of mine in Bali is sponsored by a restaurant called "Ku De Ta" and all he has to do is have the name in BIG letters on his kite and kite out in front of the restaurant in the arvies.

I think he gets free food and drink to a certian value each week, which is sweet because it is really expensive to eat and drink there, too much for my wallet!

The future is now!

waveslave ,
I think your are onto something but have missed the best bit .If you own your own bussiness the signage would come under advertising or you could sponsor yourself and that would be a tax deduction for your bussiness. I can see it now the sky full of kites saying Tim's eletrics, Mat's maintance ,Bob the biulder )] (sorry just had to on the last one )
