Brouwersdam, back to basics

-

On Stephan and Ingeborg’s recommendation, we drove all the way to Brouwersdam and back for a day in May 2025. A big quadline meeting is held there every year, and what a stroke of luck it was for us!


We immediately got help from someone who made sure our lines were set up correctly, followed by an entire afternoon of lessons on how to fly properly. It was incredibly valuable, although there was one small downside: we basically had to start from scratch again. 🙈


Still, we went home with a lot of great information and immediately got back to work.


But there was so much more that fascinated us that day. For the first time, we saw a stack of quadline kites flying together. Watching multiple kites connected and moving as one was absolutely mesmerising. 🪁


And then there was the huge megateam. Seeing so many pilots flying together, perfectly coordinated, was simply amazing. It made our dream of one day being able to fly together with others even stronger. 😁 And perhaps, one day, even perform a beautiful choreographed routine together. That would be incredible!


It was also during that day at Brouwersdam that we realised our Revolution EXP was probably no longer going to be enough for us. There was so much more to discover in the world of quadline flying.


Vented, mid vented and SUL… We were beginning to understand that we would eventually need several different quadline kites per person. 😅


So, it was time to start looking at what we wanted to buy and, more importantly, which combination would suit us best.


Our quadline adventure was clearly only just beginning. 🪁

We are two passionate amateur kite flyers who simply love being outdoors and enjoying the wind.  Whether we're flying colourful single-line display kites , dual-line sport kites , or quad-line kites , every session brings fun, relaxation and a new challenge. For us, kite flying is much more than a hobby. It's a way to step away from everyday life, spend quality time together and appreciate nature. It also helps us stay positive when life becomes challenging, giving us a healthy distraction and a chance to focus on the moment instead of our worries. On this website, we share our adventures, photos, videos, equipment, tips and the events we visit. We're not experts—just two enthusiasts who enjoy learning, flying and meeting fellow kite lovers along the way. Thanks for stopping by, and we hope our passion inspires you to get outside, catch the wind and enjoy the amazing world of kites. Keep the wind in your lines... Keep KiteOn! Tony-Marieke

Zeebrugge-dual line kites

Pr ism hypnotist Fire In the summer of 2025, we headed to Zeebrugge, where a monthly kite gathering takes place, organised through  https://www.tweelijner.be/ We were warmly welcomed and immediately felt very comfortable among the other kite flyers. At that time, we didn’t have much experience with performing tricks with a Dual-Line kite. Luckily, we quickly received lots of advice and useful tips, for which we are incredibly grateful. We learned not only more about the tricks themselves, but also about which equipment would be better for us to buy in the future and which lines would be most suitable. We were amazed by how quickly and effortlessly the experienced flyers performed their tricks. 😍 It all looked so easy… but we now realise how much practice, feeling and technique is involved. We still have a lot to learn! 😉 Our main focus is currently on Quad-Line flying. That is where we want to continue developing our skills and gaining more experience. But we definitely want ...
