See a large collection of Brian Champie's Giant Kites and Inflatables dominating the skies over the Santa Cruz Beach and Boardwalk. Brian started out as a sport kite flyer on champion teams such as Avispados and proceeded to become a master kitemaker and a collector of giant kites and inflatables. He's sure to entertain you!
Bryan Blattel from Dublin, Ca. has been enjoying the fun of kite flying for 10 years. He has traveled throughout the U.S. entertaining people with his large collect of Kites and inflatables. The latest addition to his collection is a 50-foot long caterpillar. Look for it slithering across the beach in Santa Cruz!
