Show and Tell: Sailing Ship Kite!

This week's show and tell is an awesome kit made by design firm Haptic Lab. It's a kite in the form of a majestic ship! We put together this flying dutchman and take it out for a flight. But the wind around the bay may not cooperate...

Thanks for watching!

[@JimRiven]

Nice, going boat/kite flying with Rebecca Watson. Couldn't think of a better way to spend the day. I sure hope he didn't ask if she wanted coffee.

[@michaeladams94]

+Jim Riven Subtle burn. I like it.

[@SolarWebsite]

Hah! I totally missed that that was her in the video until I read your comment and watched it again. I like your little joke, sir :-)

[@JimRiven]

+SolarWebsite +michealadams94 I knew he was a beta but I spat out my beer when I noticed her mug, I had to watch it a few times. If it's not her, damn, there seems to be two of them, I don't know how they are breeding but humanity needs to trap them and kill them with fire! :D

[@JimRiven]

michaeladams94 If it helps with her patreon account, sure why not :D #notalldeaththreatsarelikethat

[@TheFlyingPineapple]

+Jim Riven Rain napalm down upon them brother!

[@kbrou74]

Norm is getting all the ladies with his kite!

[@cart3r0]

Girls to the rescue !!! 😆

[@daanwilmer]

Awesome to see this beautiful kite! And Norm's enthusiasm is contagious, now I too want to fly a kite.

[@vizionthing]

Norm not getting it up until two girls one kite :)

[@EgoIsFlawed]

Exactly just add "no wind, no flight"

[@vizionthing]

+Garland Key It wouldn't be a joke if someone wasn't offended, KZbin is NOT a *safespace* I shall ware my new shitlord achievement with pride :)

[@hey12yearsago21]

Garland Key your mom

[@Rasyed1027]

Hahahaha poor norm trying so hard to get that thing to fly and then someone else got it to fly for him!

[@Rasyed1027]

Pretty awesome though

[@dporiua]

+Raheel Syed it's a pretty unfair comparison, the wind difference between the two occasions was HUUGE

[@Rasyed1027]

+dporiua kite flying = girls!

[@bebopBiGsHoT]

"I am the Captain NOW !" ~~

[@KriLL325783]

Norm doesn't know that kites need wind to work?

[@TalladegaTom]

+Christian Gerefalk Orville and Wilbur Wright just had a chuckle in their graves.

[@Kim-Yo-jong]

+Christian Gerefalk They don't float like magic?

[@TangoCharlieAlpha]

LOL! You read my mind. I'm like...come ooooon Norm!!.....it's called WIND, dude! I normally like their videos, but this was.....wha da fuq??? Tested....more Adam...less kite-dragging Norm. Maybe if we drug Norm around on a string HE'D fly?? Maybe?? IDK.

[@DesignsbyCADPRO]

+Christian Gerefalk OR That it may take two people...

[@M3iscool]

+Timothy McDougald No, not always, if it's a good kite, and there's optimal wind conditions the kite should basically fly itself. In the Outer Banks in NC on a good day, with my favorite kite I could hold it above my head with some slacked line prepared, gave it a little _pop_ up, and away it went. It may sink down for a second so that it can find that sweet spot angle that kites use to fly, but it's usually very simple. In fact there were times when I was able to send it up, and then tie it to my lawn chair. If you let it go up high enough if the wind dies down for a bit it will go back up on it's own when the wind picks up again. Norm just really had no idea what he was doing.

[@AJW3480]

For some reason I really enjoyed this, not sure why. But he seemed really enthusiastic, which could be why.

[@MrGioMadrid]

You will find this Ship kites in Bali everywhere. From the airport shops to the beach vendors. They have been selling these kites at least for 15 years.

[@jalopy2222]

Love the fake coldplay and dr dre at the end! cool kite Norm! Very fun show and tell.

[@evren.builds]

Kite= girls?

[@PeppoMusic]

+Evren Uçar Oh yes.

[@Rasyed1027]

Yes!

[@axeavier]

+KamekoBruns Norm was nervous, and couldn't get his kite up. Some guys don't preform well under pressure.

[@lolmaomgoml]

as a fellow man I'm ashamed/proud of this thread

[@lukegibbons3309]

+Evren Uçar I am going to buy a kite now.

[@martyristau8212]

Great job Joey. Beautifully filmed and edited :)

[@c4un544n5]

Norm actually wore a shirt to match his kite. Adorable

[@Crixe]

Beaches are always good plays to fly kites, went to the Florida Treasure isle kite festival a few months back gotta say kites have become amazing 150 feet long squid kites that look like dogs cats sharks crabs dragons (most dragline basically windsocks). But it's cool to see some of these things.

[@Skalamusa]

Who knew that a kite could be a chick magnet?!??

[@ernieee42]

well I am happy that the sailing boats I am usually on don't crash everytime there is no wind. also Norm not very good at having the right weather :D

[@squeethesane]

I already have a 9ft squid kite and a 6ft whale... oh this would be so much fun!

[@Ollem88]

+Virgil R Garwood Nice dude, I made a Cuttlefish by myself (21m) and my parents and I have a couple selfmade unique kites from 6 to 13m. Check our Homepage www.longvalley-kiteflyers.ch Cheers

[@LB-rj7fj]

+Manuel Burri Looking at the pics, fking hell some of the them are massive haha

[@pinzgauernorcal]

it took two girls to get it up !

[@JE-eb2tn]

Well done, sir.

[@jonpaddick1295]

+Highteckhobbies ... and a good blow.

[@ShaddyWoohooMan]

Yeah, has to be very windy for that thing to stay in the air. And there was no wind at all at 1:35 lol Still looks awesome.

[@ShaddyWoohooMan]

Jay Bee And whats the problem with the word awesome. At least I actually compliment what I like.

[@elitespa]

I thought it was another VR demo about a ship XD

[@LAwizard]

lol

[@issahaque9279]

I did to

[@ultraverydeepfield]

came here looking for a VR comment.

[@Grevlain]

Somethings are better left to the professionals. lol That is a really amazing looking product.

[@justliam2768]

Just nice to see something that isn't a drone or 3D printed. Cheers.

[@kkrizzz]

The classic "Can you help me get it up"- trick, I see what you did there Norm. I tip my hat to you good sir!

[@EthanfromEngland-]

+PandaView Hat!? What about helmet ;) I'm sorry

[@Uncle_Buzz]

That's easily the funniest Tested video ever. :D :D :D Cheers! Chris.

[@TheFreaxTux]

I love how he is excited like a kid to see it flying

[@ThomasGrillo]

I think if this kite were twice it's current size, it would fly better in slower winds. It's almost too small for low wind speeds. But it looks cool! Thanks.

[@ericmadamba219]

I have one smaller and theyre heavy

[@rich1051414]

GJ norm, now there will be a dozen 'proof of ufos' videos, cause people always assume UFO's first :)

[@dabbydevito5930]

I thought someone like Norm would be smarter than to try and fly a kite with no wind.

[@nik96nik]

Man that was such a feel good video

[@lelandeggleston1041]

Thumbs up for not giving up

[@alexanderbreems2921]

More cool finds like this please :)

[@DarrellLye]

i have seen many of these on the beaches of Bali... in 2009

[@challengegravity]

I don't know about you, but I've usually needed a decent wind to get my kites flying. And they weren't heavy and in the shape of a ship.

[@captaindemobeard9560]

In all my years matey, I never thought some Jim Lad in their land o imagination would think o this!

[@HillValleyMaker]

That kite is beautiful!

[@luxatm]

a kite that needs a tornado to fly, practical :D

[@CasePhoto]

Picking up girls with a kite! Thats a new one. Indigo blue? or... purple? o.0

[@Boeviper]

Nice norm!

[@chandramouliC95]

Man I was hoping for a drone view!!

[@navicto]

The fine line between indigo blue and purple

[@TheFancyUmbreon]

If you brought that thing up to the High Desert in California, it would've flown away. The string would've snapped and that thing would be GONE.

[@maxximumb]

Norm! The best part of that was done as a time lapse.

[@FreakFilms101]

If you guys had a drone up there filming next to the lite that would have been awesome

[@Bobognargnar]

+FreakFilms101 with that wind? Ha.

[@FreakFilms101]

+Bobognargnar modern top of the line drones? Easily

[@250xrider1988]

might have to change the name of this channel to "The Thick Black Framed Glasses Channel" lol

[@shren1571]

2:24 maybe it just hated Norm lol

[@jameslamb4573]

Ferry it up to higher wind speeds with the DJI Inspire!

[@ajd3322]

Erm... I've had one of these for years now, they were sold in a store (called "That Place") on the other coast of my county (8 miles away) a long time ago

[@canizio]

never see you so happy

[@magadavixt]

HEYY YOU GUYS WERE IN ALAMEDA!

[@corgimas]

sadly, they are claiming a design that has been around for awhile, is a cheap import with a big markup from Southeast Asia, and was also produced by New Tech Kites in more current materials for years.....

[@Wizardman555]

Going to all these none windy areas and expecting a kite, let alone an abnormal one, to fly.

[@georgewatson2487]

Adam should do a boba fett helmet build!!

[@ot0m0t0]

If a girl manages to get your Kite up, she deserves some coffe. :)

[@michaeladams94]

+ot0m0t0 Well I'm sure you've noticed, but one of the girls is Rebecca Watson - and we both know she's got a history and reputation when it comes to coffee.

[@mattiasfagerlund]

I bought an identical one on Bali, 20 years ago... though that one was red.

[@cheshirewolf8141]

wow, this video just remind me i used to fly this kite with my bro at the beach when we're kids.

[@TheTarrMan]

Even a sheet of plywood will fly if it's windy enough.

[@alexandrosgrivas4406]

Thats a nice kite too bad noone goes out anymore

[@bikutoso]

I'm so tempted to say: We flew a kite in a public place.

[@fueledbyspiteful]

Looks like you need a little more wind there, champ. Oh, there you go.

[@Tabletop-Newtype]

I don't know why but that Jamie 32 bit portrait in the back is seriously creeping me out

[@CoopKeith1]

Funny thing is I have one, but I have hanged it from the ceiling in my dorm.

[@Matsenau]

Was that Rebecca Watson?

[@Razyre]

+Mats Blankenau Pretty sure it was. oh dear.

[@shoutinghorse]

She's pals with Norm Chan and his missus (the other girl)

[@michaeladams94]

Did I just see Ms. Elevatorgate??

[@shoutinghorse]

Yup

[@GamersAhoy]

Hey, leave my ship alone! AHOY!

[@JasperWaale]

? this a Asian design seen in Indonesia a lot, it's been around longer than US design firm im sure

[@ocityvipers]

I'm glad someone made this comment, I was given one as a gift from a friends trip to Bali a few years back.

[@c-hryciuk]

A rebadged Indonesian kite with a healthy markup, I bet.

[@TrailsTrailsTrails]

Who would have thought you need wind to fly a kite...

[@Lyonhardht]

Add a camera mount for POV viewing & recording.

[@issahaque9279]

That was crazy

[@00soundwave00]

...so... all I need to do to get girls is be a nerd that relentless tries a hobby and keeps failing? ...well that plays right into my wheelhouse!! ^_^

[@ColtonBlumhagen]

Kites need wind you know.

[@Icedogg03]

Apparently all Norm had to do was find a couple of girls who were 2 decades younger than him to fly a kite.

[@wilsonx1999]

Confirmed: Norm is Charlie Brown.

[@LifeSizeTeddyBear]

+wilsonx81 someone needs to send him a yellow shirt with a black zigzag line around it

[@reececrump8483]

i had one of those. never got the thing to work

[@EgoIsFlawed]

I now, dub thee, "runs with kite".

[@28th_St_Air]

there's a kite/fitness watch/fpv/dating app begging to be created here

[@vulcanrider1267]

nice kite but you do need wind lol

[@eponymousIme]

You need a strong wind which, judging from the trees around you, you didn't have.

[@mattmckay3830]

Apparently, kite chicks are a thing, and I love it!

[@Jamirobruno]

OMG you need WIND!!!!

[@joelcrmt]

that is beautiful

[@superuglybitchass_]

I thought they were only going to show objects to premium members lol...

[@Fluterra]

I wish you would have told us how to do it.

[@titanhapsa996]

in bali you can buy it only for 5 bucks

[@hellishgrin4604]

This guy has never flown a kite before.. Has he?

[@franksmith4357]

I want the black peal.

[@niki123489]

#Tested try to put the kite in the water when there is no wind

[@brianbagnall3029]

Norm, who were those girls?

[@matthewchoy7712]

Tow the kite with a quadcopter

[@gotmama2]

Surrounded by buildings and trees... tell me you weren't surprised the kite wouldn't fly with the wind blocked?

[@alfredolau2101]

Hello friend. I love this ship kite and I'm thinking i make one , but I need you help me sending some pictures of hull frame, dimensions, details, all you can sen. I hope you can help me. Thank you.
