Making & Flying kites 🪁 with the Kite Lords of Grenada | Popular Easter Tradition | One One Cocoa

These memories of kite making and flying have remained with me from my childhood. I wanted to experience it again 30 years later and I stumbled upon Kite Lords. That’s what they call themselves. The young men put their monies where their mouth is make sure to invest in this traditional art form every Easter.

Benz and Kibo organized and we spent an entire day showing me how they make wooden (board) kites from scratch. We started with some sticks and ended with 6 feet kites. Benz explains every detail of kite making, from building the frame and nose, to covering, to tearing the tail pieces to launching the kite.

I see why he said they are referred to as lords. They understand aerodynamics, woodworking, and artistry.

I thoroughly enjoyed this educational and fun experience, and I’m sure you would as well.
