Big Sunday kite-fly at New Brighton beach

My 2,122nd kite video. A rare good day provided the opportunity to put on a display at a beach we seldom fly at these days.

It was indeed a good day! What a great display of lifters, spinners, and laundry. You guys do great work! I think New Brighton Beach should be renamed Kite Beach!

[@JimNicholls]

We used to fly there all the time, Steve, but moved to North Beach a few years back when earthquake repairs to the pier made parking and access difficult in that area. We go back from time to time, and probably should do so more often. It's only a kilometre or so further to drive!

Thank you Jim for the fine display .

[@JimNicholls]

You're welcome, Craig!

[@chrisphillips5722]

Jim, thanks for a great show. I agree with you the new Spikey Spinner is a winner! Wishing you many more "Tight Lines" . Cheers

[@JimNicholls]

Thanks, Chris!

Man Jim you and Peter put on a great display. Thanks, Ron

[@JimNicholls]

Glad you enjoyed it, Ron. We don't often get a chance to do a lot in these short winter days, but that was one of the better ones.

[@MarkAGroh]

Great looking kites, always a pleasure watching what you and friends fly~

[@JimNicholls]

Thanks for the appreciation, Mark.

Love the new spinny thing Jim. One of the best flies for a while.

[@JimNicholls]

Thanks, Steven. We were happy that the conditions were so good, as our winter hasn't often been very kind to kite-flyers so far.

Great display Jim and Peter! Well done!

[@JimNicholls]

Thanks, Hal. I hope your weather in Montana is suitable for flying these days.

Awesome 🎉

[@JimNicholls]

Thank you! I hope you are still managing to do some flying. I'll look for your next video.

Can be annoying when kids pull on your kites. Maybe Peter had a word with him. Great to see the old flying location again. It almost looked like the annual Kite Day festival.

[@JimNicholls]

That big kid can be a special nuisance at times, Carl. It did feel a bit like Kite Day for a short while when the beach got a bit busy - I didn't have any video of that. We shall probably fly there again soon, and you are welcome to join us.

Great display and happy kite flying 😊

[@JimNicholls]

Thank you. I am just going to watch your new video - good to see that you have some suitable weather for flying and are not too busy watching the football.

[@CirrusRC]

Great display Jim.

[@JimNicholls]

Thanks, David. I hope all's going well for you, in what I gather is a changeable summer so far.

[@deweygravesjr.122]

That was a nice video Jim. Beautiful display. That is a big Spinsock! Great dune shots. Thanks Jim!

[@JimNicholls]

Glad you enjoyed it, Dewy. The dunes are not so high on that beach, but I did my best.

[@longbeachpeninsulawaphotos]

Wow! Look at all of those kites flying. With that kind of weather and all of those beach goers out; it sure doeesn't look like it's Winter there.

[@JimNicholls]

When we wake up to another frosty morning, as I've just done, it feels like winter, but our winters are not as severe as yours, and we seldom have snow except on the mountains.

[@user-ce7ic1ze2u]

Nice! 👍

[@JimNicholls]

Thank you, Evan.

[@chaojiang3133]

Nice kites. Killer whale interesting

[@JimNicholls]

I'm glad you enjoyed it, Jiang. I hope your little holiday is going well.

[@vikramsinghkite4358]

Nice Big Sunday kite flying sir 🙏🏼

[@JimNicholls]

Thank you, Vikram. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

[@SingaporeCityWalks]

The folks must be thinking that there's a mini Kite Festival is happening. The big kid looks like the same big kid the other day. Better watch your car and belongings.

[@JimNicholls]

That big kid is a regular nuisance. We can't manage to keep him away.
