Күн бұрынMy 1,704th kite video. Today I flew some interesting big kites, and one kite that was not quite as big!
The huge Rainbow Burst flowtail (and some alternative colours) can be found here: www.picturepre... .

Kites looked great in the afternoon breezes. Glad to see another future kite flyer has been introduced to our hobby. Smiles all round.

Hi Jim... I see you are still going strong!! Even if the wind wasn't . I loved the triton..don't think I have ever seen one fly. Great music too... very sweet. Those little octopus kites sure are enduring a gift from a party ... And of course..sweet of you to give a great little flyer. I am sure everyone enjoyed your day...even US!

The Triton is a very good kite, Priscilla, and I've had mine a long time. I hope things are still OK with you and getting better as the virus is seemingly coming under control.

This is one of your heart warming videos Jim, I just love the touch of handing out the smiley to the young flyer. Perhaps he will fill your large boots some day. I’ve just sourced the CIM XXL flowtail in white, which I think is similar to this one. Excited about it.

Glad you liked it, Jonny. The CIM flowtails are good, and I have some in the smaller size. Metropolis Drachen have the XXL in several colour choices, I see, and I'm sure you'll enjoy yours. Much better priced than the Premier ones, anyway.

I adore the Box Genki, but the next kite on my list is the Premier Flo-Tail (like yours) or a Tunnel Delta. I'll know by the end of our Memorial Weekend kite event at the end of this month! I'm already going to get the Mega Fish in Cool Orbit just for working the event all weekend (Fri.-Mon.) & I'm stoked about that.

@@JimNicholls It's quickly getting Show Stuff now that it never really had much of per se. But I've been building the collection very slowly over the last 4 decades. Now that I'm over my fear of making videos, I can showcase the beauty of kiting to the world if they choose to watch!

I should probably grab a few cheapy kites for the kids. People always ask where they can get one when I fly at the park. Would be nice to hand one off to a worthy youngster
