If you've heard about Dave Shankman's famous Kite Party (www.kiteconnection.com) at the Huntington Beach Pier in California, then you know what a good vibe can come from a casual get together of kiting enthusists at a cool beach location. Folks from the East Coast began to think about having their own 'kite party'. Hence, the ECKP is born. Buxton, North Carolina August 5th-7th, 2005. Please be aware this is a very losely organized (non)event. No rules, restrictions, clip boards, or heavy organization. Bring your friends, family, kites, camping gear, coolers, & susnscreen to the Outer Banks of North Carolina in August. The little town of Frisco will be the area most will be staying.

Camping on the National Seashore could be great.

For those that don't mind the great outdoors, there are tent sites snuggled in the dunes, a short distance from the ocean. That means we can fly right around camp.

See you there!
