We saw this ship kite at a country kite festival and helped the owner get it flying. Some ship kites are better than others, but this one was willing enough to take to the air. Always an eye-catcher - what's a boat doing in the air?! Click 'Visit' to the page - and try other pages of the site for more kite info, photos and video. T.P. #kite #shipkite #sailingship

These kites would have caused plenty of smiles I suspect! The Boeing 747 has been given the 3-year-old treatment, but it appears to be flying as a true kite.

A flying Monkey inflatable with banana just out of reach! We've seen this a number times since it belongs to a local flier. Here, the Monkey was spotted at the Adelaide Kite Festival. Like many creature inflatables it's more a glorified windsock than a kite. Click 'Visit' to the page - and try other pages of the site for more kite info, photos and video.

Aquatic line laundry! Sea creature inflatables are popular and these 2 are typical. The fish inflate from the front under wind pressure and are suspended from the flying line of a large kite flying higher. So they aren't true 'kites'.

A lot of these ship kites are made in Bali - hence I heard someone refer to them the other day as 'Bali kites'. There is certainly a thriving cottage industry of kite-making in Bali. Others do a good job of marketing these designs online to the rest of the world. Click 'Visit' to the page - and try other pages of the site for more kite info, photos and video.

It's funny when you see something flying that shouldn't! Like this ship kite, many of which are made and ... ermmm ... shipped from the island of Bali. Reports vary as to how well these fly, but we have seen plenty doing quite well in a smooth sea breeze. Line angles are very modest, but these kites are usually quite stable in the air. T.P.

Since a certain viral video, this type of kite - yes a kite - has been copied here and there. One of the wheels rotates in the breeze, moving the pedals and legs of the rider figure. The main lifting surface appears to be the body of the figure. Clever concept and a nice job getting it to fly stable! T.P.
