On Sunday December 31, 2017 SDKC held its annual Fighter Kite Challenge.
Two Classes were fought:
Club Class: everyone flies the same kind of kite, this year we flew GrandMasters
Open Class: each flier flies his own favorite kite.
Sadly, this year we only had eight competitors. This is a very laid back, mostly for fun event so hopefully a few more people will put in a little practice this year and compete next year.
Club Class Winner: Rick
Open class Winner: Victor
