Randy the Kite Man turns Delray Beach into a math classroom
July 16, 2026
Winfred Randolph Lowe, known as Randy the Kite Man, uses giant colorful kites at Delray Beach to teach geometry and math concepts. Drawing from his 35-year teaching career, he turns the sky into a hands-on classroom where triangles, angles, and distances come alive for children and families.
Meet Winfred Randolph Lowe.
Delray Beach knows him as Randy the Kite Man.
What started with one kite grew fast.
Now the beach becomes his open-air gallery.
Whales and giant sea creatures fill the sky.
Families stop to watch the colors move above them.
But Randy’s kites are more than entertainment.
They carry lessons from his years as a math teacher.
For 35 years, he taught students in classrooms.
Then he brought those lessons onto the sand.
The kite string becomes a math problem.
Kids can finally see geometry in motion.
Triangles appear high above the beach.
Angles and distances suddenly make sense.
Randy shows how every flight tells a story.
Wind, height and motion all connect through math.
Even after retirement, he still teaches daily.
Curious kids gather around to learn from the sky.
Sometimes the best lessons feel completely different.
And sometimes the classroom has no walls at all.
