Hey I went back to the beach to fly my kite today but there wasn't quite enough wind. Well I thought this was a go opportunity to go over and meet this guy, so I did. His name is Barry Smith from Portland and his friend Chuck and Chuck dog Bear(pet him and hes your friend). We hit it off great and I spent the rest of the day hanging out learning all sorts of things from them. About flying kites, finding out we grew up in the same area in California, etc.
Another Great day!!!
Got a better video of Barry flying his kites.
Enjoy
