This past weekend was the annual Berkeley Kite Festival! It's always fun to go out watch all of the giant Octopuses (there were 12 this year) swimming through the air, and participate in a Rok Battle. This year I brought along Matt, who is very quickly getting addicted to kites, along with my KAP rig. I got a pretty good panorama from directly above the Octopile as it is called, you can check it out by clicking the panorama link above. As I mentioned before, the other fun even I always try to take part in is the rok battle. During one of these, everyone has a single line, 6 sided kite and the goal is to be the last man standing. You can either knock another's kite out of the sky or cut their line with yours using the friction between the two. I wasn't too lucky and managed to get my line cut pretty early, but despite it being his first time, Matt managed to cut someone else down before getting knocked out himself. The important thing is that was a lot of fun and as always I took a lot of pictures.
