Fire Hydrant

This most recent kite by Ruth Whiting is a new direction for our designs. It's made from Cuben Fiber and is painted. Shown here flying at Artevento 2008 Cervia, Italy.

Here we see the original inspiration for Ruth to make a fire hydrant kite. The beautiful kites of Robert Trépanier. People who have seen his work will recognize it immediately. Here is a lovely interview with Robert within another website. Robert's interview with the Drachen Foundation.
