South Padre Island hosted its tenth annual Kite Fest this weekend. Teams from all over North America were here to show off their high flying talents. Although it was not a competitive event it was apparent that every participant was up to showing off their skills. Hundreds of spectators braved the cold and windy weather to watch this spectacular show! Each participant or team guided the gyrations of their kite or kites to specially selected music.
Some kites were flown by teams that guided their kites in graceful aerobatics.
This kite had three 120 foot tails.
How these teams keep the lines from getting tangled as they move from one formation to another is a real mystery!
These colorful kites just float in the air from their tethers in the sand.
These five kites were interconnected and flown by one person. The winds drug

These five kites were interconnected and flown by one person. The winds drug him back and forth on the sand.
Circle upon circle this kite spiraled through the sky.
This huge kite hovered over the sands of South Padre Island.
More colorful kites fill the sky.
The youngest participant, who was nine years old, guided this kite in gyrations to upbeat rap music.
As we left the festival we observed this young man as he was pulled along on some sort of wheeled board by the parasail he was controlling.
This ring kite rose above the sand as we left the beach with its chilly winds.
