Sunday afternoon we went to a kite show on South Padre Island. The sky was filled with many stunt kites, very large kites, steerable stunt kites, shaped kites and one kite that pulled a go-cart. There was a world renowned group called I-Quad with six members flying their kites. They were joined by a Rio Grande Valley group and their show was spectacular. Their kite flying was like precision swimming, but in the sky. We will share a few pictures of the event.
When the two groups were flying their precision kites, they had 40 kite strings in the air at once. Each kite uses 4 strings to control their actions. Their goal was to entertain us but also to keep the strings untangled. This is the group flying the kites.

It was cold enough to wear heavy coats. Wilbur is strolling along with two Canadian friends.
