In the second episode of Weekend Weather, Ben and Kenji report from the Berkeley Kite Festival held on July 29-30 at the Berkeley Marina. See a one-man kite team, an ancient japanese kite launch, a Rokkaku kite battle, flying squids and more!

I wish I could have been there, but this video makes me feel like I was there! That kite fighting looked really cool!!!
Ken & Ben, I enjoyed your webcast very much! The best part was that it was varied and had the drama of sound and the kite fighting, the human interest angle (guy with three kites), the cultural angle (Japan). It is also great that you are both so natural on camera. GOOD JOB!!
Hi guys, Donald here. I just looked at your Weather Report. The kites where beautiful.
Makes me miss the Berkeley marina. All we have here are rivers. Looking forward to the next report.
Wonderful report! I had no idea of the history of this kind of event. People from New York City don’t get many opportunities to fly kites, so it’s pretty amazing to see what people do with it when they get the change to com together.
That last line should be “…get the chance to come together.” Fat fingers today…
YES the kite fight was awesome!!!
nice editing too by the way.
keep it up!
Cool! I’d have loved the kite fight!
you guys are great storytellers. i look forwward to seeing more videos.
Man those are some amazing kites. Good job guys.
What a great report! Terrific job. I live near Berkeley and didn’t know anything about this event. I learned a lot from watching your video.
