Anthony Thyssen -- Single Line Kite Nut

Denotes Hi Res. Image (opens in new window)

85kb
Anthony is an avid single line kite flyer always trying out different kite designs, and now has so many kites, he can create his own mini kite festival, all by himself.
In the above photos you can see Anthony sitting under his half sized, cody ``man-lifter'' box kite (left). Other show him flying his first appliqued kite, an Australian Flag Genki. His love for genki's continued with a ultra lite bright red genki which can fly on a wisper of wind, making the kite perfect for night flys, complete with flashing lights.
Anthony also likes to build and fly UFO or Rotor Kites. Pictured to the right, he is flying a white and red plastic UFO in Mackay (North Queensland).
Of course he never stops building new kites or trying out new ideas. As such, he is now beyond even counting the number of kites he has. No matter what the wind is he is likely to have a kite (or a dozen) able to fly.
