The size kite and conditions required to fly 100' of mini 8...10 or 
12 lbs? would be beyond anyone in a kayak!!

Also be advised that you can get the **** knocked out of you flying 
any kite with a long wire between you and the ground, even if there 
is no lightning happening. In addition, High Voltage power lines can 
sneak out of the trees and kill you!

BTW, I used to fly kites to altitudes of 2 or 3 miles....once snagged 
an airplane..
