I remember kites like these more than 70 years ago. Most of the shapes were exactly the same, but our kites were tiny versions of what these guys are making. These guys are putting together monsters; we could not even dream of doing what these guys are doing. Very, very impressive!
Man I miss those days growing up same kites but way smaller 🇭🇹. It's amazing how we grew up in different islands yet having very similar traditions. I need to see a video of the hose and wire hanger lollll
We definitely have similar traditions because our fore parents came from the same places, and then we were colonized by the same ‘super powers’ of the day.
My dad is from Grenada up in maran near to Victoria, and he used to make the same style huge kites for us using brown paper and wood when we were kids right here in the uk. Everyone in the neighbourhood used to come out and watch us flying them.Watching this just reminded me of forgotten memories even took me back near on 40 years! It reminded of how powerful they were because they used to roar and lift us off the ground. Rip dad .I miss u.x
@Just as I am Wow, that’s amazing that he left Grenada but took the culture with him!! They no longer use paper, the covering has ‘evolved’ to plastic. Happy to bring back good memories of your dad.
Same here, on the island of Bermuda, back in the late 60s, there would be uncountable numbers of every size and shape of kites.....Super fun memories, my dad and all the neighbors would build their own kites....
We made kits like that in Jamaica when I was a kid. much smaller in size and easy to manage. We had kite fights, and added razor blades to the kite to cut the other kite strings.
@@OneOneCocoa473 you are absolutely right likewise in my days living in the u.s. I haven't seen a kite in ages back in Grenada as a kid kite flying was everything
In Haiti we make these giants kites. We called them grandou. The flapper in the front is called vonvon. At the tail we used to attach razor blades and have kite fight to cut the other kite wire. On the rope we used to set a piece of floating paper that will travel along the rope all the way to the top.
@@OneOneCocoa473 my parents are from Grenada, but I was born in the virgin islands. When I was younger me ,my dad and my brother made what my dad calls a mad bull. We had it flying for 3 days ,some will say never,but these hand made kites are mind blowing
Never seen this shape of kite, I love it. Gonna make a smaller 1 with my daughter here in US & fly it. It's a nice windy day. Thank you for sharing this.
Happy to share this video!! Thanks for stopping by. This is the regular shape of kites 🪁 made here. Generally they are much smaller than the one in the video. Let us know how your daughter’s kite turns out.
I love this video it reminds me so much of my younger days Back home in JA used to love making them sit down all day with bamboo, glue and plastic bags , also some nylon thread and ur good nice video gang
Wowwww, my Dad used to tell me about how he built kites when he was a kid growing up but I never saw them being built. This is AWESOME! I appreciate your vids so much 🙌🏾
I’m happy to produce and share these videos. Glad you’re appreciating them. Kite making and flying are still a popular ‘sport’ in Grenada and the Caribbean.
Kids in Egypt make these kites and fly them from the rooftops! It was how long the tails were that tripped me out! The nephew of the owner of the place we stayed gave me one but it was too big to put in my luggage. Been wanting to make one but didn't know how then forgot about it. Jesus if you could sum up my life with one phrase, it's that. Lol.
In my country, too, when we were children and adults, we continued with our passion for kite playing on a larger sclae. Welcome my friends from Vietnam❤
Thank you for posting this wonderful video. We flew store-bought kites made from paper and balsa wood with cloth tails in NYC in the '60s. The month of March was kite season since it was the windiest.😃
Growing up in new York I had a friend that was a master at making these kids of kites. He could make amazing colorful designs. One day he made this monster 5 foot kite that we had to tie to a metal pole, After a few hours it bent the pole almost in half. We had to leave it up overnight until the wind died down a bit to get it back. Fun times!
In Haiti 🇭🇹 it’s the same way we used to fly our kites the same style wow. I remember my uncle made one twice the size of that he had to tie it to a tree it took three to 4 guys to fly it because it was dragging them. I’ll never forget the kite dive and it got stuck on a tree I thought it was the end but the kite broke off a big branch of that tree and flew with it that was crazy.
Exactement ! Un Kite de cette dimension en Haïti 😂😂😂 et voir une seule personne le tenir 😂😂😂 et on à même pas besoin de cette dimension de bois ! J'aime trop cette tradition qui ne se perd jamais ❤
Same technique we use to build kites in Jamaica. This remind me of that time when I spend a lot of hours making the most beautiful kite with about 5 different colours plastic bag, I was so proud of the kite and it flew perfectly. I went to fly it on the football field, there was another kid there with a rubbish kite that wouldn’t fly.. that kid went and told his big cousin that I stole his kite, so now his cousin trying to take my kite away from me. This cousin was older than me so I had no chance…. When I realise I couldn’t stop him taking my kite I crushed it in defiance and went home😂😂 this is one of my earliest experiences that people isn’t right and life isn’t fair.
This kite 🪁 video has really demonstrated how so many countries are similar. I thought it was a Caribbean thing but it’s popular in Asia, North America, and Africa. Thanks 🙏 for stopping by One One Cocoa.
@@OneOneCocoa473 Where do you get the plastic covering paper? I have tried finding some here (USA) and it is SO expensive, what do you use?? Thank you for your reply BTW :)
You might be saying this as a joke, I don’t know. But I think you’re unto something, the interest from the Caribbean especially has been tremendous. How about you make a go of it?
We make similar kites in Bermuda during Good Friday & Easter. We use tissue paper of different colors to cover them. We call the kites hummers due to the noise they make.🤣🤣
@one one cocoa. You need to do more kite related vids. This appears to be your most popular one. Ppl love kites, especially us men/boys. We will always love 🪁 no matter how old we get😂
I live in Jamaica and this is how we make Kites, a kite about 5 times smaller would have less wind resistance and be more fun though as we could do special moves with it such as causing it to to spiral out of control and regain control or free fall then pull it back up. Awesome stuff though :)...
Lol, yes that was alot of fun, I used to tie the razor on a piece of nylon and attach it to the tail. Kite war is when each Kite is equipped with razor on the tails and we try to use the razor to cut the string of other's kites while they fly next to each other.
2 cool looking tough looking guys and their hobby or passion is kites. Absolutely great, what a great video, will watch more
Thanks a lot!! These kite lords are very passionate about their kite flying hobby.
Making them is as much fun as flying them . Creative masters . Bringing Joy .
Kites are surely fun to make and fly!!
I have a suggestion what if you guys could position a small camera on the kite so you can get a bird's-eye view maybe a GoPro or something
@Rodell Williams I love that suggestion…it means we must pull down the kite though. An alternative might be a drone.
@@OneOneCocoa473 yeah drone will do the job. also it would be nice for the person flying the Kite and the Drone flyer to coordinate with each other
We had dat in mind an also we have to try a small fan with a motor , so dat can generate light, so it can light up in the nite
What materials u use for the zinger
@@OneOneCocoa473 acutally no, I don't know if ever heard about "sending a message," whereby when the kite is in flight you tie a string on the thread/twine and it moves upwards to the kite.

The fact that you guys are now using plastic to paper over the kite that's pretty ingenious awesome 👌🏾

Kite wars…lol!!
I thought the same thing but they actually want it to pull a lot. It’s fun for them.
I’ve heard about the razor at the end of the tail. That’s a whole other level of kite flying.
We used to add razor blade at the tail so we can compete and try to cut each other's string.
Yes yes I remember that…lol!!
