KP2024 Kite Party Huntington

- The second weekend in March is the traditional gathering for Kite Party attendees. The Kite Party website has a registration page which opens earlier in the year for signups.
One of the real highlights of the Kite Party is the participation by the actual inventor of the Revolution quad line kites.
The Kite Party concept is contrasted to a kite festival. The party is a non competitive fun fly and exhibition of single and multi line kites. The City of Huntington Beach and Orange County have been supportive over the decades to make this event possible.
People who attend this event get to rub shoulders with the creators and popularizers of modern kites, a past time with a long history but renewed with cutting edge materials and design.
Incredible display. The Twin Line synchro with two and four kites display was so skillful and the 12 kite deltas were amazing. I love the single lines for variety and anyone can have a go!
Couldn't agree more!
0:51 love the swallow! It’s my favorite!
0:57 oh hey more panying flying! Love to see it!
There will certainly be more to come! A number of kite flyers had their eyes opened to the gliding eagle kite .
That is what I call a real kite festival, Glenn! It appeared that 99% of the items in the air were actual kites, not endless rows of PLK line laundry that you see most places these days. And what a great line-up of participants, many of whose names I recognised. I saw lots of your items in the air, so you and Cherie must have been very busy, although having three days made it easier, no doubt. Well done!
Hi Jim, all in all it was a very nice experience. Late developing winds served to keep the big inflatables at bay. Stick kites were the order of the day, every day. We were fortunate that there was no rain to contend with. Pleasant people, room to fly, no drama, just a long drive both ways.
A FUN weekend show with so many original kites. Reconized some of the names from my neck of the woods. CONGRATS in help making the party a huge success.
It was a long time coming. I'm glad we made the scene, Jim.
What a great event! I was thrilled at the large variety of styles of kites. It was fun to see the eagle soaring! Thanks to you and Cherie for driving, flying, filming and editing!
The things we do for love, LOL! I really enjoyed flying me eagle kites . It was a good weekend and a good group.
Looked like something for everyone, Glenn. I like the George Peters eel with your skybird. Great combo.
I have to limit it to one eel a day, otherwise the bird gets too sleepy ! Thanks, Michael. It is really a beautiful combination when seen against the clear blue sky.
Hi Glenn & Cherie. Thanks for all your work on this wonderful video record of an excellent festival. Some great makers and flyers on your list of attendees. That's quite a journey there and back. Lovely to see you both enjoying the flying. Sarah and I are off for a two week car trip to the North Island and will attend a NZ Kite association three day fly at Ambury Park , Auckland on Easter weekend.
I am looking forward to your video of the event,Carl. We were happy to attend and happy to get home. Los Angeles traffic is the worst.
Glenn a great kite Party.Thers are some interesting items.Beautiful Video😀
Thank you my friend, it was a good and friendly weekend. Beautiful kites. Good times.
It’s been awhile Glenn. What an awesome event!
Right on both accounts, Kenny
Hey, I should gate crash next year!
If you have not registered for it, we will have to discuss our options. As you can tell, the beach is pretty generous for gliders. We flew for a good amount of time. Eventually, enough wind developed for light wind stick kites to go up. Prudence dictated we curtail our long range flying and redirect to more conventional kites. I look forward to training with the Orange glider. So beautiful!
