I got a nice surprise when I took a stroll down to the pier today -- a Kite Festival.
Big ones, little ones, all over the beach. How about this dragon?
We had entertainment too. These drummers were awesome. Incredibly coordinated routines.
And as I walked home along the water's edge I encountered another sort of kite -- a windsurfer.
While the river (behind the nearest jetty) and the stretch of beach closest to it are strictly for board surfers, the next strip is reserved for the windsurfers to get in and out. What with the kite, the board, and all the lines, these folks need a lot of space.

How pretty!
Did you join in the fun with your own kite! It looks like a wonderful day along the beach.
One thing I've never done is fly a kite. What a nice surprise!!!
Oh that is SO cool! I haven't seen a windsurfer since Mexico, but kites? Wow, I'm thinking about the purple octopus and fuschia dragon kites we had when I was in elementary school. Also...a sort of fighter kite? But I can't remember what it looked like.
That does look like a lot of windy fun!
