Want to take your kite to the next level?
Competition isn’t just about getting ranked: it’s about setting goals, making progress and meeting other enthusiasts who share your desire to fly better and harder.
On this page, we’d like to take you on a journey through the precision tricks that form the basis of competition flying.
For the moment, we’re concentrating on compulsory figures – but little by little, this section will be enriched by other aspects of competitive flying: ballet, mixed formats, practical tips…
The figures presented here offer a different and complementary approach to other recognized learning paths, such as Club 38 for quad pilots.
Whatever path you choose, the idea remains the same: progress, challenge yourself and have fun flying!
