The American Kite Associate visited Virginia Beach recently. They had three areas on the beach fenced off. The first was for open flying. Anyone could go and fly a kite. The second was a static display of many different types of kites. I love octopus – and there were many so that made me very happy. Finally, there was a competition area for two and four string kites. The flyers tried to pair music with their kites to make a routine – think figure skating but in the area.
