Yes! It is the "Habagat"(southwest monsoon) wind season. Rain and typhoon season. Bad news for kite flyers. Another bad news is... WE LOST THE FORT! Buildings, buildings and more buildings. Sign of progress?

For almost a decade, The FORT became our "official" kite flying site and "outdoor clubhouse". Let us thank the Fort Bonifacio Development Authority for allowing us to use the wide open field. Thanks to everyone who made use of their time to fly kites and shared the sky with us.

We have an alternative flying area though. Follow EDSA straight up to the south-end (Pasay).
There you will find Bay Boulevard (beyond Roxas Blvd.) and the Mall of Asia (SM). Just beyond the Mall, beside the sea wall is the Esplanade. It is a brick-layered baywalk area, stretching from the Mall area to about a kilometer farther. Good wind, good flying area, BUT! --- within the aerodrome and flightpath of aircraft landing or taking-off from the nearby airport. It will mean kite flying altitude limitation to only 200 feet! Well, better than nothing.
