After the Flying Comes the Kite Care! 🪁

Image
A little rain doesn't stop us from enjoying a day of flying! 🪁 Even when the weather isn't perfect, there's nothing quite like being out there together, sharing our passion for kites. But when the flying is done, there's one more important part of our hobby: taking care of our kites! 💙 After a day of flying in light rain, we took some time to rinse our four-line kites and flying lines with clean water. A little care now helps keep our equipment in good condition for many more flying adventures! 🪁 Our KiteOn kite care tips 💧 1. Rinse away the dirt Sand, dust and dirt can build up during a flying session. Gently rinse your kite and lines with clean water when needed. Avoid strong water pressure and aggressive cleaning products. 🌬️ 2. Let everything dry completely Never pack away a wet kite for long-term storage. Spread your kites out in a clean, well-ventilated place, away from direct sunlight, and let them dry completely. Pay attention to the seams, reinforcements a...

A Great Day at the Zeebrugge Kite Meeting 🪁

Image
Today, we headed back to the kite meeting in Zeebrugge, organised by https://www.tweelijner.be . It was the perfect opportunity to test our new fish kite and to fly our swallows together with the big swallow. And it was a success! 😁 The swallows flew beautifully alongside their bigger companion. Great work by Tony! 💙🪁 Of course, the dual-line kites were out in force too! There was plenty to see in the sky, with lots of different kites sharing the wind. But Tony and I couldn't resist taking our quad-line kites out for a flight as well. After all, quad-line flying always has a special place in our hearts! It was a lovely day with a great variety of kites, plenty of flying and, above all, the fun and friendly atmosphere that makes these meetings so enjoyable. We ended the day with a delicious coffee at the bistro, taking a moment to relax and enjoy the memories of another wonderful day together. ☕ Pictures tweelijner.be Another beautiful day added to our KiteOn adventures!

One sky one world 🪁💙

Today at the Workbench, Soon Together in the Sky  Today, Sunday, October 11, kite flyers around the world celebrate One Sky One World, a special day dedicated to peace, friendship and connection through the wonderful hobby of kite flying. https://oneskyoneworld.eu/nl/ For us at KiteOn, this is a special day too. Unfortunately, we couldn’t go out and fly our kites this year due to health reasons. Sometimes, things don’t go as planned, and we have to listen to what our bodies need. But that doesn’t mean our passion for kites has to stay grounded! ❤️ A New Project Takes Shape While our kites stayed on the ground today, Tony certainly didn’t sit still! He took the time to cut the Icarex fabric for our latest project: two delta kites that we’ll be flying together soon! 😍 A new project, new plans and plenty of excitement for what’s to come! Because at KiteOn, it’s not just about the moment a kite takes to the sky. Designing, preparing, building and dreaming about our next flying adventu...

Today we joined the kite meeting in Zeebrugge, organised by Tweelijner.be . 🪁 A beautiful late-summer day with gentle, steady winds in the morning, perfect conditions for the first flight of our Revolution Dragon with its head and tail attached! 🐉💙 What a magnificent kite! She looks absolutely stunning in the sky… and it certainly has some serious pulling power! 😍 Of course, our dual-line kites couldn’t be left at home either. They also enjoyed some time in the Zeebrugge sky. 🪁 https://www.tweelijner.be/index.php/galerij-tweelijners/13-foto-album Another wonderful day filled with kites, flying and great people. ❤️

Kite Festival Oostende – A Day Full of Wind, Sun & Smiles

Image
Today we headed to the kite festival in Oostende, and what a fantastic day it was! 😁 The wind was absolutely amazing in the morning. Straight from the sea… it really doesn’t get much better than that! 🌊💨 Our swallows and ladybugs were flying beautifully, and they were definitely loved by the visitors too. They attracted lots of attention, smiles and, of course, plenty of photos. Our kites were real little celebrities today! 🐦❤️🐞📸 In the afternoon, the wind became a little less stable, so we had to bring the swallows back down. But that didn’t stop us from flying! We switched to our quadlines with the shorter lines, and once again quite a few curious spectators stopped to watch and ask questions. We always love taking the time to explain what we’re doing and share our passion for kiting. 😊 The sun also decided to join us in the afternoon, making it even more enjoyable. ☀️ And as the day went on, more and more people arrived to enjoy the festival. All in all, it was a wonderful da...

Kite Festival Cadzand 2026

Image
After our previous experiences at different kite festivals, we headed to Cadzand in 2026. The event lasted two days, but we went on Saturday. And what a lucky day we picked! The wind was really good, giving us the perfect conditions to fly our quadline kites. We got lots of questions from curious visitors, and we were more than happy to stop, explain and share our passion for kites and flying.                             Picture: Liza Hennin Our ladybugs were a big hit with the children too. 🐞 They attracted plenty of smiles and curious little faces, which is always wonderful to see. But the real attention came when Tony started setting up our swallows. Almost immediately, people gathered around us, curious to see what we were building. Our little swallows clearly made an impression! It was fantastic to see so many people interested in our kite project. And then, as the cherry on top, we got a wonderful and completel...

Kite Away 25 juli 2026

Kite Away Bredene – Our Next Step After our great experience at the kite festival in Westende, we made a decision: we wanted to visit more kite festivals! 🪁 The first one that came our way was Kite Away Bredene. At that time, we didn't have a very large collection of kites yet. Our ladybirds were there, of course. ❤️🐞 They were already a big hit and attracted plenty of attention. We also brought our quad-line kite with us. Once there was a little more space to fly, after the sea had retreated, we took the opportunity to get it up in the air. It was another great experience and a chance to enjoy the atmosphere of a kite festival. And once again, we met lots of lovely people and other kite enthusiasts. Our collection may have been small back then, but our enthusiasm was already growing quickly. It was clear: we wanted more! 😉 More festivals, more kites, more flying… and, most importantly, more great people to share our passion with. Our KiteOn adventure was only just beginning. 🪁...
