There’s a bit of a community, but it is too small to show up much on most social media. Almost all of it is on Facebook these days, which is the only reason I have a FB account.
There’s a few groups out there like Sport Kite Pilots Longe that are pretty good spots for online conversation. Otherwise, we mostly meet up at Kite festivals. My next event will be the Washington State International Kite Festival during the 3rd fill week of Aigust
I do sport kite flying and kite making, and I love it. It’s incredibly small and niche.
The kites are multi-line kites that can be controlled from the ground, and I typically fly to music and perform at kite festivals. I also build my kites myself by sewing together ripstop for the sails, cutting down carbon tubes for the frame, and 3d printing fittings.
Ok, so this is likely coming from lemmy.ml then, and if I don’t want that, I’ll need to use a different instance. Thank you
