Ron Kramer Artist, photographer, computer geek and web site designer. Prism Designs Inc. is one of my favorite accounts, I do much of their layout/design artwork and shoot most of their photography & video subjects.  I'm also their webmaster and created and maintain their current website. 

My hobbies are, scuba diving, digital photography, target archery, computers, astronomy and of course sport kiting. I started stunt kiting in January of 1998 - and as luck would have it, after I bought my first kite In Florida there was NO WIND! - so upon returning back to Michigan, I joined the M2S2 kite club and first learned to fly INDOORS! The rest is history... enjoy my kite pages!

     

What Is Stunt Kiting


Stunt kiting
Is a fast growing sport where you use (usually 2) lines to control a performance kite which can reach speeds of 80-100mph. But the goal isn't speed, but rather control and tricking the kite into different positions and maneuvers. Stunt kites can sell for as little as $20.00 but can cost upwards of $
400.00 each. And power kites can run around $800.00 and more. 



I'm doing a 540 flat-spin.

The BIRD 
I saw Craig Rogerson's bird at the recent Flint festival and really dug it. After hearing it was a quad or dual line kite - (can be flown either way) I had to have one! But Craig said he has only 1 of the 2 in the country! He said the kite is made by Peter DeJong in the Netherlands. I found Peter to be a really great guy...  and he recently sent this pic of the final kite he made for me! I'm awaiting it's arrival from Europe!!! If you want a bird, contact him on this website by clicking the link below.
