LETS GO FLY A KITE.

This weekend was the S.P.I.K.E. Kite Festival. 

 

 

 

That's the South Padre Island Kite Enthusiasts that put of a kite flying demo on the beach in South Padre Island. 







    

 There was such an assembly of kites the sky was full of them and it was hard to know where to look, and that built during the day

 

There were so many awesome individual kites that people had brought and put up. 

 

Then there are the EXTRA LARGE blow up type kites that have to be anchored to a vehicle or a huge land anchor.  They are enormous. 

 

 

 Then last, but certainly not least, there was a display of synchronized kite flying, by teams of flyers, that were absolutely AMAZING. 

 

The first was a team of 4 men with 4 kites that zoomed them around and in a out, over and under each other, with me constantly saying, "How the heck do they do that, without getting them all tangled up in each other."  

 

 

 

And here are some of the fliers that accomplish these amazing feats. 

 

They not only watch there kites but they have to kinda dance around to avoid bumping into each other. 

 

Then there was a 6 kite, 6 flyer team, that also did more AMAZING kite flying. 

 

Oh, and by the way, I forgot to mention,

 

THEY DO IT ALL SYNCHRONIZED TO MUSIC!!!

 

I have never done this before but I took a couple of little video clips of these performances, but I can't figure out how to down load them to this Blog.  I will do some research and see if there is some way to post them, and maybe post them at a later date, because still photos certainly do not do them justice. 

 

 

ALL IN ALL IT WAS A FACINATING AND AMAZING DAY.
