Nice video. In my area of California, there is a big kite festival that happens every summer. Last weekend in July.
It’s held at the Berkeley Marina, a grassy mound of land near a windy, water lined area. The Richmond/ San Rafael Bridge is less than a mile away.
I have walking problems and don’t attend anymore, but I still like knowing that it’s going on. Lots of families turn up for it, with huge, colorful and unusual kites. I wouldn’t be surprised if the Kite Festival is cancelled due to you know what (Covid), but maybe it will happen anyway.
When I was a kid in the 50s kite flying was much more popular than it is now. I enjoyed it tho never tried anything but just a standard kite.
It was sometimes hard to get them in the air but once you did it was easy.
Every store used to sell them, well most stores.
Thank you for posting this delightful diversion from bad news.
Thanks for the post. Awesome man and kite flying!
