Wouldn't say Immense, but looked good.

I was only there 45 mins and that was long enough.

It was totally packed there, never seen New Brighton so busy.

The commentator was a bit weird though:

"Kite flyers are generally nice people, approachable and friendly"

"you can buy any kite from a toy shop, but it won't be as good as buying one from a proper kite shop"

The new brighton Rally commentator is my mate, leave him alone, I think he does a good job, since it isnt actually his "job", he isnt paid a penny for it.

IMHO they were mostly just huge wind sock, Kites are hand controlled and do stunts or displays to music etc.
