Right place, wrong area-had to back up out of the Advanced Kite Competition! They were all great!

    Yep, looked like a fun event going by those videos – but somehow I don’t think they were all kids kites. I mean, who was flying that stack of quad-kites? A big kid perhaps ;-)

    Tim! Right you are! They had a competition & I have some of the adult powered kites in this video:

    I had to back up (tripod & all – with the camera rolling!) to get on the other side of the cones so they could start the ADVANCED competition. I wish I had the names of some of those folks so I could show them the video of themselves and their WONDERFUL kite skills!!!
