The most creative controllable kite flyer I know is Lee  Sedgwick 
from Erie PA.

Some of his contributions include:

     1. Solo (Dog Stake) Flying.  1986
     2. Qualine control of a stunt kite. 1987
     3. Power Flying with jumps up to 20 ft and flights of 100ft.
     4. Using kites to pull him across frozen Lake Erie on his
          snow skies and Ice skates, also parking lots on his
          Roller Blades.
     5. Invention of the Whisker/Sail Positioner. 1986
     6. 3-D flying with the revolution. 1989
     7. Single Line flying a Flexifoil. 1990

     Lee usually attends the East Coast Championships at Wildwood 
NJ  in May.  He is a marvelous entertainer.  He has retired  from 
competition with several Grand National Titles 1986, 1987, 1988.
He is alway the feature attraction at any festival he attends.

             I hope you all get a chance to See Lee,
