pjarmit Loc: UK, now in Texas
 
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!

You must watch to the end to see the amazing landing of that last
kite! I would have those kites so tangled up, you could never get them
separated again! And of course, make sure the volume is turned up
because the music is wonderful and totally reflects the soaring of the
kites.

Any good windy weekend at the Marina Green in San Francisco you can be entertained by the kite flyers. The video of the man with the 3 kites was filmed there.
