10
00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:29,200
Speaker 2: art style kites. They're quite quite cool to see, quite different.

11
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:30,720
Speaker 1: What do you mean by that's art style.

12
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:34,199
Speaker 2: There's just a lot of applique work in them, and

13
00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:37,320
Speaker 2: there are a stick kite rather than rather than a

14
00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:41,200
Speaker 2: show kite, but they're quite kind of large sticks kites. Okay,

15
00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:43,479
Speaker 2: a lot of work. Once you see them, you'll recognize

16
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:44,520
Speaker 2: them from the other kites.

17
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:45,120
Speaker 1: Yeah.

18
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:49,120
Speaker 2: We've got a couple of flyers from Australia that are

19
00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:52,440
Speaker 2: coming over and they've got a mixture of kites including

20
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:56,319
Speaker 2: quads and quad kites and stun kites as well as

21
00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:58,120
Speaker 2: the normal single line kites.

22
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:00,200
Speaker 1: And what brings them over is the thing this is

23
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:02,360
Speaker 1: sort of part of a circuit that you organize, right.

24
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:07,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, Yeah, so there's a whole lot of events happening

25
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:09,520
Speaker 2: kind of at the same time. So we've got lake

26
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:12,399
Speaker 2: Hood and then the next day we've got the Rollaston

27
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:15,160

28
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:20,399
Speaker 2: Church Kite Day, and then next weekend it's Tamuru Kite Day.

29
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:22,480
Speaker 2: So there's a whole lot happening at once. So if

30
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:25,320
Speaker 2: they're into kites, that can come over and fly at

31
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:26,959
Speaker 2: different events around the place, and then.

32
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:30,320
Speaker 1: We can follow you too. So what specifically can we

33
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:32,280
Speaker 1: expect to see tomorrow? What are some of the kites

34
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:32,920
Speaker 1: that's going to be up.

35
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 2: Well, there's going to be quite a few, quite lots

36
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:39,479
Speaker 2: of different kites. But there'll be say the twenty five

37
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 2: meter long sting ray, there'll be a twelve meter penguin

38
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:47,559
Speaker 2: which is which would be quite huge. It's quite quite

39
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 2: a big size, and then the sixteen meter whales, so

40
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:54,840

Speaker 2: tiger shark, flying pigs, gorillas, all sorts of different kites.

42
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:01,920
Speaker 1: It really is a marvel when you see them all

43
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 1: up there, and just getting them off the ground in

44
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 1: the first place seems to be quite the act. Something

45
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:11,240
Speaker 1: I've always wondered, Simon, We'll come back to conditions at

46
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:14,079
Speaker 1: the moment. But you know, when you've got at times

47
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 1: what feels like a couple of dozen kites all flying

48
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:18,919
Speaker 1: relatively in the same area at the same time, have

49
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:20,360
Speaker 1: you stopped them getting all tangled together.

50
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 2: So there is a wee tiny kite above. And for

51
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 2: kite festivals, you everyone flies with this weed tiny kite.

52
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 2: It's called a pilot kite, and it just it's super stable,

53
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:34,919
Speaker 2: and it just means everybody can fly really close together.

54
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 2: Some of our venues are really small that you're flying

55
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,400
Speaker 2: and you can you can just squeeze everyone in close

56
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 2: when you've got a pilot kite.

57
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 1: That's how you do it. Yes, So have you looked

58
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:47,320
Speaker 1: to look at conditions tomorrow? At what point can you

59
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:49,119
Speaker 1: fly and not fly? I don't.

60
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:52,799
Speaker 2: I don't really trust trust the weather forecasters, but but

61
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 2: it is it is. It is looking good. There, winds

62
00:02:56,040 --> 00:03:01,360
Speaker 2: looking good. The yeah, there's no rain touch wood hopefully.

63
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 2: So it is looking like it's going to be a

64
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:06,120
Speaker 2: crack a day just for everyone to come down and

65
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:09,400

66
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:12,000
