Kite Flyer
« on: February 19, 2013, 10:11:41 PM »
I know that we have some kite flyers here.  Has anyone heard or know of this guy? 

THE BEST OF ALL KITE FLYERS!!!!! Never Underestimate Old People........Have Sound On.........
 The guy flying the 3 kites is in his 80s, and he's from Canada. He comes to the Washington State International Kite Festival every year. His skin is like leather as he normally flies with his shirt off. He is deaf, so when he flies we hold our hands up and wave them for applause. He flies 2 with his hands and the 3rd one is attached to his waist. Enjoy!

What a beautiful video!
Such artistry and skill!

Great advice… “Have Sound On”.

I’ve watched it several times today and shared it with folks at work, they loved it.

Thanks for posting this Dick!

I've known Ray for quite some time , he has been regularly attending the Berck kite festival for the past  years

and talked to him on occasion:he is a character!!often wearing a simple shirt when everyone else was draped in windbreakers

I have seen Ray, fly at Berkeley a few times. He is the master. I was able two fly two trick kites but the third - I gave up on. I think he can fly seven right hand, seven left, hand and seven on the waist. At least 21 dual line kites at a time.
