- My 2,107th kite video. Another good Sunday fly, with four of us contributing and Brendan showing his newly-acquired skill with the Kirk fighter kite.
Anyone wanting to check out all my "How to..." videos on various aspects of kite-flying can now find them all easily on my Playlist at / jimskitesnz .
Great fun for all ages! I showed a former teacher colleague of mine a few of your videos and she showed her class and now all the kids want to make their own kites before the year is over. How awesome is that!
That's great to know, as most young people these days seem to have no interest in kites. I hope they have a lot of fun making and flying their kites.
Unique, original kites being flown by a bunch of friends. Makes for a fun, interesting day at the beach. Good show.
Glad you enjoyed it, Jim, and we certainly did!
Awesome display Jim. I love his big box kite, Ron
Peter certainly knows how to build kites, Ron, that's for sure!
I love delta kites! What a nice display!
Deltas are great. I have a lot of them!
A wonderful Sunday fly with friends. Brendan is skillful.
Thank you. Brendan is certainly clever. I hope your travels are going well.
Some nice video work showing a wonderful mix of kites. Long may the sunny Sundays continue. Brendan has certainly found a talent for flying his fighter kite. Not an easy kite to master.
He's a lot more clever than I am, Carl. I didn't dare to try that kite without its long tails.
Great video Jim. Peters box kite is amazing. The stunt kite is fun to watch, but looks difficult. Thanks Jim!
I know that I couldn't handle that kite, Dewey, but Brendan seems a natural.
Great display and a fun day...thank s for sharing
Thanks for watching, Craig!
Wonderful display!..I'm always amazed at how close together you fly... a veteran kiter here does the same..
If the wind is steady and the kites are good ones, it's possible to fly them very close together. But then if the wind starts to gust, terrible tangles can follow, as we've sometimes found in the past.
Great display and good to see the Ember Levitation back into production. I wish they’d also bring back their Scintillation kite, that was a great one.
Sadly, it seems that most of ITW's designs will not be seen again. I know they were still trying until recently to find a factory to make them, but the cost was too great in most cases so they didn't go ahead.
@@JimNicholls That’s a real shame. I’d better snap up an Ember before they’re dust!
They don't seem at all good at giving any information these days, but things certainly aren't what they were a few years ago when they were one of the top kite companies.
See the fight kite again
Nice
Yes, it's a good kite, and Brendan flies it very well.
Nice!
You were very quick, Evan! I'm glad you liked it.
Beautiful delta kites! What was the wind speed ?
I never bother to measure the wind speed, since we have no control over it. But it was a very light breeze to begin with, and then increased later and became more gusty at the end. The weather is very variable these days, but as long as it's good enough to get some kites into the air, we're happy!
It's always interesting to see that 'sky of color' over that beautiful beach. Many thanks Jim.
@MarkAGroh We are lucky to get very blue skies, Mark, but there may be fewer of them as we head into winter.
