It's impressive watching him in person -- he's the most
carved-out-of-oak guy I've ever seen, what with standing out in the sun
and wind bare-chested for decades and all. It also blows me away how
variable the wind can be and not affect him -- I have different kites
for different levels of wind, he just digs his heels in..

He's got a control bar in each hand with a line coming from each end
of it, and the third one is from a pair of lines attached to the sides
of his belt.
For a different sort of kite flying:
