Would you like to meet other kite flyers? Our community includes kite enthusiasts, kite manufacturers, pilots and teams. This community is very open and welcoming. It includes people of all ages, backgrounds and skill levels. Our activities are very friendly. Kite flyers often allow you to try out their kites.
Here are a few ways in which you can get involved.
Events
The most important encounters often take place at kite festivals. You can easily identify them via these calendars. They are updated regularly throughout the year.
Festivals vary in size and organization. Organizers may offer introductory courses, for example. We advise you to get in touch with the organizers if you have special expectations (chat with kite flyers, take part in an initiation, etc.).
