Making Of A Kite Cart

Island Wonder! .... click for home
If you are anything like us, you have a tendency to leave kite gear scattered around. I try and keep it organized, but I am always finding an item separated from the pack. Last minute walks around the beach have revealed many wayward items.  Normally, I started to worry about gear half way home, and I ended up faced backwards in the jeep double checking. Inevitably, one afternoon, I realized a board was missing;. Wouldn't you know it, the board I had ridden. Dang! Luckily, it was exactly where I left it about 3 feet from the ocean. Shew!

John decided to make a kite cart. Now, we can get from our condo to the jeep in one maneuver. The best part though, it is easier to keep track of our expensive toys.

A quick trip to the Salvation Army for the necessary jogging stroller. We picked it up for $15, obviously prices will vary.
