On Saturday, Team Flic, The Flying Squad, Brian & Helen (aeolian), Dave Morley and Heinrich Hohmann all teamed up for a 'mega-fly' of Revolution style kites. The wind was around 10mph so it was quite challenging to fly 15 vented kites in close proximity, especially in front of so many spectators!

Sunday was even windier and super-vented kites were definitely required! (Photos below are from Sunday)

Local kite group Fractured Axel were invited to give a demonstration of sport and trick kiting in the main arena on Saturday. This was followed up on Sunday by a Trickout competition, with pairs of flyers competing against each other in quick-fire rounds.

The overall winner of the Trickout was Chris Goff, read more about the results here:

There were many unusual single line kites being flown over the course of the weekend, particularly by the overseas invited flyers.

Notable highlights were Sonja Graichen's own unique design of kites, with rotating components that created colour and motion in the sky as they flew. Claudio Capelli flew a selection of his beautiful hand painted kites, while Robert Brasington's cellular creations took to the sky with long flowing tails and striking applique patterns.

Unfortunately we didn't manage to get a photo of the large inflatable 'Cat in the Hat' kite before it broke free of its anchor point in the strong wind!
