Once again the ol' aoxo has caught the attention of the folks new to 
our scene.  Many people assume that this must be a reference to the 
Grateful Dead.  Sorry, they got it from the same source i did.  Rick 
Griffin.  When i was a thirteen year old gremmie, Rick was going 
through his wholefood, surf spiritual, awakening.  In some of his 
character "Murphy's" dreams there was a creature who was full on 
into the juice, while Murph was screaming "cowabunga" this space 
alien surfing wild eye was emoting "AoxomoxoA".  Thus, was borne, 
for me anyway, aoxomoxoa.  i heard about the dead a few years later 
when someone saw the aoxomoxoa on the top bar of my ten speed and 
wanted to know what it meant.  "Hey, the dead's new album, cool, 
what does that mean?" and i'm sitting there thinking, the dead?!? 
whoa.  

Now since then, the word has come to mean a sort of perfection in 
life, a moment of purity if you will, and it certainly applies to 
kite flying and the kiters lifestyle.  Most long time flyers and 
almost all buggiers know what aoxomoxoa is even if they have never 
heard the word.  

so, that is why we are an aoxomoxoa centered company, each kite has 
some aoxo built into it, and i always sign some form of aoxo 
somewhere on anything i do.  

love & aoxomoxoa
