Greetings,

Do you like to fly fast kites?
Really fast kites?
Ever wanted to know how fast your kite actually flies?

During the weekend of the 13.-15.04 2012 the next Speedkiting contest is scheduled in Dornumersiel Germany.

To get a first impression, video from last years contest:

Is there a local airport mate?

Hi Marc,

No idea, but a quick google search turned up several smaller airports in the area, closest would be the one in Norden, about 20mins away with a car.

Looks like I very well will be going to this , I have a Wilde hilde on its way in black for practice,just bought a set of chati lines as well...
Anybody else ?
I'll be spending out on something faster when I can find it before the time

Marc: Its great fun, lots of nice people there. Very rewarding for fliers that like really fast kites.
