Kite Competitions

Want to take your kite flying to the next level?
Competition is not only about rankings: it is about setting goals, improving your skills, and meeting other enthusiasts who share your drive to fly better and further.

On this page, we offer a first journey through precision figures, which are at the core of competition flying.
For now, we focus on compulsory figures – but over time, this section will grow with other topics: ballet, mixed formats, practical tips, and more.

The figures presented here offer a different and complementary approach to other recognized learning paths, such as Club 38 for quad-line pilots.
Whichever path you choose, the idea stays the same: improve, challenge yourself, and enjoy flying.

Compulsory figures: your entry points

Two highly complementary formats: one international reference, and one designed for smoother first steps (France).

International figures (ISK)

  • Figures
  • All levels
  • International

Reference figures used worldwide for individual, pair, and team competitions (dual-line or multi-line).

“Novice” figures (FFVL)

Need foundations before competing?

If you want to strengthen your flying outside competition (or learn quad-line flying progressively), these two entry points are ideal.
