HONOLULU, Hawaii (HawaiiNewsNow) - In a large empty park in Salt Lake, Kelvin Chun can be found showing off his high-flying skills. The 61-year-old retired teacher is an avid kite builder and flyer.
âAll the different aerodynamic concepts are built into this kite,â he said of one of his creations.
Decades ago, Chun learned the art of building Filipino-styled kites from a master kite builder, who took him under his wing.
