Air Alaska has a huge billboard on the Banfield with a Kiteboarder in Hawaii. _________________ CGKA Member |

... but here it is.
Aaron Sales is the kiter.
This is biggest kb pic I've ever seen.
I imagine this will also stir up the baggage fee issue and reverse kite/lines comments but I thought it was cool anyway.

I've never had any problems with Alaska and the Naish golf bag loaded with kite gear. I routinely fly to Maui and Florida (on my way to the DR) on Alaska and have never been questioned. Even American MIA to DR is fine round trip. I used to check in curbside and tip bc of the paranoia on the forum but now I just go to the regular counter. I'm also gold and fly a ton, maybe worth something. |

Funny, a Northshore style wave with the Oahu South Shore iconic Diamond Head in the back ground... Just about the most cobbled together kite image I have ever seen.
Still, pretty cool to see it being used. Tells you something about how many kiters are starting to be the ones travelling to Hawaii...
