Welcome to the San Diego Kite Club Archives
This is a repository for some of San Diego Kite Club history. As of 2025, we have a pretty good archive going but we could still use more of your old photos. Especially from the past few years. If you want this archive to grow it will require your input. So gather up your new/old photos and get them over to the WebApprentice email.

We are always looking for photos from the Dark Ages, the Middle Ages, the Not So Long Ago Ages, or even the present day. Anything not already included somewhere on this website. Any info you can provide about submitted photos would be helpful but if you don’t know what they are we will probably post them anyway.
Photos can be provided digitally on a flash drive, by email, on a disk or old fashioned hard copies (bring them to a meeting or by snail mail). All physical media will be returned upon request.
San Diego Kite Club Address:

We need your input/submissions to keep our site active and interesting.
Submissions can be as long or short as you want. A couple of pictures and a paragraph or two is all it takes. We are especially interested in Kite Stories And Adventures. Do some kite flying on a trip, help a struggling family at the Bay, do a kite demonstration, build your first kite? We want to hear about it.
