Original Toronto Star caption: High above Lake Ontario is Michael Robertson who rides a kite as high as 1,000 feet as part of the Aquarama show at the CNE. A member of the Flying Circus Inc., he takes off as a water skier, then releases cables attaching him to a speedboat. He then freeflies his giant kite, landing it on the water in front of Ontario Place. While in the air, he had time to set a time picture of himself using Star photographer Dick Lock's camera. Aquarama is free, three times daily.
