For the best part of two years now I have been playing with a new dual line kite. The concept is simple: create a kite that has great precision and a good range of tricks that are as accessible to new pilots as experienced trick fliers. Simple right? Then why after so long am I […]
The last August Bank Holiday saw us make our annual pilgrimage to the Portsmouth International Kite Festival 2013. Their website says: We are inclined to agree! This year’s festival was no exception with a truly impressive array of single line kites from across the world and a who’s who of sport kite fliers from as […]
Once again our theory about the best wind (and the beer) is put to the test… this time at the Drachen Uber Lemwerder festival in Northern Germany. Two great flying days, an amazing night fly and most importantly two lovely evenings, enjoying the company of friends, some cold beer, beautiful sunsets and a […]
The Peterborough Kite Festival is held every June at the beautiful Ferry Meadows park, with kites filling the sky above cyclists, canoes, rowing boats, train rides, wildlife safaris and many other outdoor activities. We were made extremely welcome by our hosts: The Great Ouse Kite Flyers (we should probably tell you that the Great Ouse […]
Well, we couldn’t have asked for much more from the Lodden Valley Kite Flyers team this year – congratulations to all involved in this wonderful event.

Every year on the long, wide, beach of fine white sand of Berck-sur-Mer, France hundreds of kite fliers gather for one of the world’s most famous Kite Festivals. This year we were lucky enough to be part of this 10 day long kite carnival in the sky. Originally famous for Aerial Photography, the festival soon […]
Our good friends in Spain have just announced a major development in printed kites. Printed Gauze/Mesh. You can now have the design of your choice in the full range of kites without any compromise on the graphic.

Imagine a clear August day and an empty, sandy beach… now add a light wind coming off the sea and, of course, a kite! You may not believe us, but we found this beautiful scene in Northumberland (North East England) and had a fantastic afternoon flying one of the new Flower Power sails. The same […]
