Basingstoke Kite Festival

Mon Jun 03, 2013 12:14 am

I just wanted to say thanks to the guys who came to the festival today and joined in with our ultra serious Mystery Ballet competition.

It was a great day with the usual wind challenges and all of the fliers entered into the spirit of the competition showing what great sportsmen they are. Of course, the chance to try a new Chris Goff prototype in the only clear space of the field wasn't a factor but it certainly helped.

Thanks guys you were awesome. =D> =D> =D>

=D> to the trick flyers as well.

Weather was gorgeous, wind was (to use Stephen's technical term) 'shit'. But we did what we could in terms of pair/team flying. Will have some photos up in a picasa album soon.

Pictures of the weekend here. Yes, a few of the UL SuperFly as well ;) , and if you think it's easy to take a picture when Chris is janking the kite across the sky, think again ...
