Family Day Kite Festival Public Website

2007 Winners

FUNNIEST: Rhonda Davidson

Blue Genie, a 7-foot wide, single-surface, modified cobra kite flew out of his bottle to the delight of adults and children alike.

BIGGEST: Blake Pelton

Normally Neptune is the god of the sea, but at the 2007 Family Day Kite Festival, this 46-foot long, inflated parafoil Neptune was the king of the sky, nabbing the prize for Biggest Kite.

SMALLEST: Susan Skinner

Former American Kitefliers Association President Susan Skinner took home the award for Smallest Kite with her Handmade Diamond, a 2-inch long traditional diamond kite.

LONGEST TAIL: Department of Tethered Aviation

The Red Line literally stopped traffic on Marina Boulevard when its 670-foot long tail (supported by a 20-foot wide inflated flowform) stretched across the sky, extending the length of the Marina Green and then some. The Red Line was neck and neck for the longest tail title. Not to worry, with its additional extensions zipped in, The Red Line's tail can extend up to a quarter of a mile.

MOST INNOVATIVE: Mike Hagan

EO, a 2-foot wide foldable cellular E06 kite, was the undisputed winner of the Most Innovative category.

BEST GROUND DISPLAY: David Sabilino, Sr.

David Sabilino, Sr., presented My Menagerie, an artistic assortment of feather banners and Wayne Knott kites.

MOST BEAUTIFUL: Mike Hagen

Marilyn tantalized the crowd with her billowing skirt that revealed lace panties and was appropriately crowned Most Beautiful. Diamonds Are a Girl’s Best Friend is the official name for this 10-foot wide, three-stick "diamond" kite.

BEST OF SHOW: Department of Tethered Aviation

Not only was The Red Line a traffic-stopper, but it was a show-stopper as well, taking home the well-deserved title for Best of Show.
