- Kite Party 17 at Huntington Beach, north of the Pier on March 9th and 10th of 2019. Glenn and Cherie Mitchell joined a gathering of renowned kite makers and flyers to paint the sky with color. There were many boutique kites on display during both days and the weather was quite good. It was was of those wonderful times when the only excuse for not flying a kite was not having one.
Special thanks to Dave Shenkman for organizing and commissioning event T-Shorts. The city of Huntington Beach is appreciated for supporting the event as is the County for Life Guard support.
Without a doubt, kiting in general and the Kite Party in particular bring out our better Nature. If you haven't yet decided, I recommend joining the American Kiteflyers Association. It is a world wide organization.
Thanks Glenn for capturing the day. Some really nice kites on display. Looked like a great day.
The pleasure is mine. This was a excellent experience!
What a wonderful event, Glenn, and a lot of famous names in your list of participants. Good to see George Emmons among them - it seems only yesterday he was visiting here, although it was back in November. You were clearly among the early arrivals - looks as if Cherie is doing well with the Eagle. Best part, there were hundreds of real kites, not just big PLK line laundry. My favourite was probably Ron Gibian's seahorse.
Hi Jim, it was a real treat to see so many art kites. The wind turned about 140 degrees during the day. Ron's seahorse flew quite well, glued to the sky. The ground displays were colorful if not hungry for territory. Time well spent!
Yeeeah! 6:30
Enjoy the view!
Thanks for sharing Glenn. Looks like an awesome time. Love the MaxiGecko. Cool colors!
New is lovely, Michael. So large it had its own weather system. LOL.

Uzun ve mutlu bir hayat yaşayabilir. Güzel uçurtma ve seyahat ödülü olabilir. Şimdi çalışın, sonra kutlayın. En iyi yolu bu. Bay Zen ile uzaylı uçurtma paylaştığınız için teşekkürler
Shout Out to Mike Shaw, who is a very talented kite maker & kind of a nice guy too! LoL
Wonderful..wonderful kites! I loved that colorful Delta at 1:32...and that Star at 3:54...Oh heck I liked them all but was really fond of those with the broad, long and colorful tails. The simple heart kite...all of them beautiful works of art. One day I hope to be as successful in my fabrications. Cherie looks quite accomplished with her bird ..so smooth! Good for you all! That looked like a stunning day!
Pricilla, you have good taste. There were many good quality commercial kites and of course the boutique stuff. If you love the beauty of flowing shimmering organza, try that for a kite tail!
I have some organza that I want to use--I will let you know how it goes. Today..gusts up to 50mph! So no flying ..but at least have great temps. Thanks for sharing the video..very nice display by all...
@@fotonmom 50 MPH, forget the kites, sail directly to OZ and say hi to the wizard for me! Ha!
Great show, looks a gorgeous location!
I agree, this one was a keeper!
Ok Glenn, you and Jim Nichols are really making me hate our winter even more here..lol we have been hit with everything imaginable here the last several months, and none of it was good! What a fantastic weekend you had. All of those kite trains in the air at once looked fantastic. I have to say, the Snicker bar was my favorite here. Never seen that one before. Lovin’ it!
Ken, on second viewing, the Snickers Bar ties with the Seahorse as my favourite - that bar is really unusual!
Yes, I agree, the seahorse is very cool too. The Snicker bar just looks fun!
Boys, just remember that video is just life with the boring parts cut out. Ken, Spring is a comin'.
Are you sure on that Glenn? It sure hasn't felt like it. Maybe it will get here mid June. lol
As someone who appreciates single line kites the variety and standard of those flying at this event was wonderful, so many types from the traditional to the innovative all with brilliant artwork, I am jealous !! thank you for doing a great job of pointing a camera at them so as we can all enjoy this exceptional spectacle.
There are those who pay dearly for their art kites and then hoard them. It is nice to see these art kites flown. I'm glad to share the beauty with those, like you who understand.
@@PanyingPilot I started kite flying ( late 70's ! help this seems so long ago !! ) in the days before there were a lot of artwork kites available to buy or were there any inflatable line laundry, the most special kites at a kite festival were those single line kites created by skilled enthusiast, so my formative kite flying years were coloured by aspirations to emulate these enthusiast, something i have never quite achieved ( Far too many hobbies and interests, Far too little time...) So to see a kite festival with some many wonderful single line kites is marvelous, dare i say it ? better than a display of line laundry !
What a wonderful spectacle of beautiful kites. Thank you Glenn & Cherie for making the long trip and bringing us this great video. I have watched it several times now to take it all in. Enjoyed seeing some of your own kites flying again.
There was a lot to enjoy, Carl. You are most welcome.
Oh wow! I didnt know about the event im in the O.C
Search Kite Party and you can get up to speed!
Hi, anyone know if the alien kite at 7:30 is available for purchase or was it custom made?
ua-cam.com/video/Rla_kqP8aTU/v-deo.html Hi, Cherie built this from plans at kite.builders/out-of-space-alien-von-ziya-sen
@@PanyingPilot oh man, i was hoping it was available for purchase. Too good to be true! Do you plan on being at the next Kite Party?
@@B2theV Hi Brian, it's possible we may attend. If you like the general design aesthetic, search out George Peter's Sky works.
how to make a kite like that ?
If you mean the kite on the video thumbnail, email Rick Spurgeon at the San Diego Kite Club's web page. Good luck.
@@PanyingPilot thank you ♥
很漂亮風箏表演與場地。
好心情的天气正是放出最大的享受风筝。
Muito bonito !
Muy gracias!
Aleluia @@PanyingPilot
Giant lizard is already my favorite. I was at the store looking at kites and ill be ordering one online since they didnt have anything bigger than 30'
Congrats on your interest. There is nothing wrong with a 30 footer. Please know that there is a whole lot of other things that go with giant kites and laundry. Prepare for hidden expenses and a learning curve. The Gecko displaced a man who set up his spot at 6 AM.
I Love to fly my Kites I hate the GOV. chemical clouds = ( 85 dif chems. in those induced clouds ) SAY SOMETHING TO THEM !!!!
Kites are fun. Rain cleans the sky.
