  • My 2,101st kite video. On a fine autumn day we were able to fly a good selection of kites. If you are interested in the Parrot, see here: www.pictureprettykites.com/si... or intothewind.com/kites/flying-... .
    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 .

    Wow. what a cloudless blue sky. The kites looked just perfect in that breeze. Grouping and training the Cuttlefish together makes a splendid show. Always impressed by Peter's unique Dart.

      I told you you should come up here for some good weather, Carl! We've had quite a few good days now, although a hard frost yesterday, followed of course by blue sky and very little wind.

    Nice mixture of kites...I liked the parrots and dart mostly...thank you for sharing Jim.

      Thanks for watching, Craig, and I'm glad you enjoyed it.

    The cuttlefish would look good for Halloween. The parrot kites get me in the mood for (my) sunny, Summer days ahead.

      Let's hope your summer is a good one, but the weather everywhere seems more unstable these days.

    Wonderful display!..it sure is a great feeling after you launch one kite, to realize, 'hey, there's enough wind, I can fly a few more'...😊

    • @JimNicholls
      @JimNicholls  Před 3 měsíci +2

      Yes, that's certainly true, and luckily the wind picked up as the afternoon went on. We get a lot of windless or near-windless days at this time of year, and it's a matter of luck whether we can fly or not.

    I love the giant cuttlefish kites. They look so innocent and raw. Love the music too. It reminds me of tunes I heard in the 1960's. Peter is very innovative. I love to watch his self-made kites.
    I will be travelling to Taiwan with wife and son tomorrow, the 29th. Will be posting some SG or Thai videos while there. Cheers!

      I think I said that the cuttlefish came from China, but actually the first two that I bought came from Passion Kites in Singapore. I bought a few items from there, long ago, and I see they are still in business so I guess kites are still flown locally. I haven't seen a kite video from Singapore for a long time, however.

    Very good video parrots look beautiful. Peters dart kite is a great idea😊

      @JimNicholls  Před 3 měsíci

      Thank you. Yes, the Dart was a good idea, and it flies well in even a very light breeze.

      Thanks, Dewey. Yes, it was a lovely autumn day, and luckily we had just enough breeze to make it a flying day.

    I need to fly the parrots more often... they are fun on one line. Nice selection of kites today, thanks Jim~

    • @JimNicholls

      Yes, the parrots are good, Mark, and one of the few ITW products still available these days.

    I was going to go fly my bucket tail squid at Pismo last time. Its on the list for the next time out. Good choice of music too, Jim.

    • @JimNicholls
      @JimNicholls  Před 3 měsíci +1

      Music's always a problem, Glenn, as you know. At least 95% of CZcams's audio library is rubbish, and trying to find an acceptable piece that hasn't been used too often is sometimes very time-consuming.

      @@JimNicholls Agreed, Jim. If only money weren't an object, we could really tap into what we really want to express.

      They came from China a long time ago and I don't think they are available now.

    Catchy tune, do you know the name of the song or artist? Love Peter's handmade kites!

      Sheryl, it's called "Calor Blanco" and is in the CZcams free audio library. Yes, Peter makes some very good kites.
