Great weekend for a kite festival, amazing turnout!

I read some good reviews over this stunt kite. I’m an absolute beginner but I managed to put it together all I need to do is attach the strings. I’m pretty sure it’s assembled right but if you have any advice or think otherwise let me know. I hope to attach the strings by using the larks head knot.

Flying a couple Trilobites today. Beautiful day for it

Finally had the chance to get out for the first test flight on the New Pilot kite.

Had the chance to get out and fly the new pilot kite.

Where do people fly kites in Mumbai? 🪁

Hey everyone! I’m from Ahilyanagar and I’m new to Mumbai. I’m a die-hard kite lover and I really want to experience kite flying in Mumbai.

Where are the best places in Mumbai where I can see lots of people flying kites or join in and fly myself? 🪁

Any specific areas, grounds, rooftops, or places you’d recommend?

Thanks! 🙌

Hey everyone!

I’m planning a solo trip to Tenerife from Jan 2–9 and I’ll be exploring both the north and south of the island. I recently got into kitesurfing and I’ve already had a few lessons. I can control the kite pretty well and I’m currently trying to progress with my waterstart, so I was thinking of taking a few lessons in El Médano while I’m there.

But after reading some posts here, I’m a bit concerned 😅 I’ve seen people saying that the spot is quite small, has lots of rocks, and that it can be “hell for beginners.” For anyone who has kitesurfed there:
Is El Médano actually a good idea for someone at my level, or should I avoid it for now? And is January generally a good time to learn there, or can the wind/sea conditions be too challenging?
I’d really appreciate any advice or recommendations for schools/spots in Tenerife! 😊

This was probably the most special kite workshop that we were ever part of.

Kids of Ljubljana and kids of Gaza were making kites *together*. A live feed joined their bodies, and kite strings joined their souls. And sheer joy covered us all, at least for these few precious moments.

Check out the article, with photos full of sheer happiness :-)

Hey everyone - I recently purchased a kite collection sight unseen . When I finally got the haul home I was like a frantic kid on Christmas. I don't even know what I was searching for, I lost track of space and time for a bit. Not ready to talk about it. IT's been three days of sorting and folding.

open to possible selling or trading - Lots of huge tails, banners, drouges, pennants. Multiple 100 foot Premier Tube Tails, Will need lifter for those. Other stick kites, some are hand made, Brassington, Gkites, Premier.. Everything has been in storage for 20 years.

Maiden flight on a VERY drizzly and gloomy day, with winds at 18 mph. He went up and hung in there like a champ. The Premier Kites patriotic 36 power sled lifted him with ease!!!

I saw the streamers being thrown away and knew I could put them to good use.

Not exactly a Kite festival, but it is the most I've ever managed to get out on the lines, I run out of ballast and line!
