KiteOn

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...

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!

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. ❤️

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...

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 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. 🪁...

A new KiteOn project is taking shape! To keep our flock of swallows stable in the air, we decided to create a larger swallow that can help support and stabilise the flock of eight. We ordered the necessary materials, and Tony got to work. First came the challenge of drawing the larger swallow to scale. Then the fabric was carefully cut, followed by sewing, finishing and putting all the pieces together. Step by step, the new swallow came to life. And we have to admit: we are pretty proud of the result! 💙💛 Today, it was time for the first real test. We wanted to find out which tow line would work best to keep our flock of eight swallows stable in the air. There is still some testing and fine-tuning to do, but seeing our own creation up in the sky for the first time was already a fantastic moment.  🪁🪁🪁

https://facebook.com/events/s/11th-international-quadline-me This year, we decided to make our annual trip to Brouwersdam a little more special and booked a full long weekend there. Every year, during the Ascension weekend, the Brouwersdam Quadline Meeting takes place. It is a wonderful gathering where quadline flyers from different countries come together. Some fly individually, while others form teams and fly together. For us, it is always something special to be part of this international kite-flying community. The weather wasn't exactly fantastic this year. The conditions were quite challenging at times, with rain, changing winds and periods where the wind simply disappeared. But, of course, that didn't stop the flyers! And we had another reason to stop by: we picked up our new flying lines for team flying there. They were made to the correct length for team flying and are top-quality lines, supplied through vliegertakkitelines.  http://www.vliegertakkitelines.nl/ A new wor...

Today we headed to Lange Munte in Kortrijk for another day of flying and testing. We’re always welcome there, and there’s plenty of space to fly, which makes it a great place to try out new kites and ideas. The wind wasn’t exactly ideal today. At times we had a nice, steady 3–4 Bft, but then suddenly the wind would drop away completely. Definitely challenging conditions! But we had plenty to test. First up was our new 6 m² pilot, which we were really excited to get into the air for the first time. We also tested our new 6-metre festival spinner and were curious to see how it would behave in the changing wind. And there was another challenge on the list: stack flying with our Revolution kites. We wanted to test how our Revs behave when flown together as a stack and see what it takes to control them as a team. The changing wind didn’t make things easy, but that’s all part of flying kites. Sometimes you just have to wait for the wind to come back, make a few adjustments and try again. Ano...

Our visits to the Westende Kite Festival We regularly stay in Middelkerke, a Belgian seaside town that has become a familiar place for us. Every year, during the second weekend of June, the town comes alive with a large kite festival, one of the bigger kite events in the region. But there is much more to experience than just the kites. Alongside the festival, there is a large gathering of Volkswagen vans, a braderie and plenty of other activities. It makes for a great atmosphere and definitely a weekend worth experiencing. The first year, we simply went to have a look and enjoy all the beautiful kites from the sidelines. But this year was very different. We visited the festival every afternoon and, for the first time, we were able to fly our quad-line kites as a team of four. What an experience! A huge thank you to Fenix Pair and the Holland Kite Team for their trust and for giving us the opportunity to join them. Flying together as a team was something we had been looking forward to, ...

✨ Work in progress… ✨ Adding lights to our Revolution EXPs! 💡🪁 One of them is still 1 metre short, but don’t worry… that extra metre is on its way! 😁 The result so far? Absolutely amazing! 🤩 Can’t wait to see them flying in the dark! 🌙🪁✨ KiteOn – Fly Together 💙

Our EXP kites were great to learn with, but they had one limitation: they couldn’t handle stronger winds. We soon found ourselves struggling to fly when the wind picked up. That’s when we decided to go for a Revolution Extreme. We wanted to keep progressing and, most importantly, be able to fly in a wider range of wind conditions. When you purchase a Revolution, you can also become a club 38 Member. This gives you the opportunity to work through different levels and improve your quad-line flying skills step by step. Since we really wanted to go all in with quad-line flying, we saw these levels as a fun challenge for ourselves. We achieved Level 1 with our EXPs. But we didn’t just want to complete it individually. We made it a goal to perform the entire Level 1 together, side by side, and record it on video. https://revkites.com/club-38/ Flying the same moves at exactly the same time, while keeping the kites together, turned out to be quite a challenge! But that was exactly what made it...

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 ...

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 perfo...

Meet Fenix Pair 🪁❤️ Photo credit: HLN Our first digital contact with Fenix Pair. Ingeborg & Stephan was during the kite festival in Berck-sur-Mer. Since then, we’ve had the pleasure of getting to know them a little better. What a lovely couple they are! So warm, friendly, enthusiastic and always willing to share tips and experiences. We really appreciate how helpful they are and how much we can learn from them. It’s great to meet people who share the same passion and who are so generous with their knowledge. 🪁❤️ And of course… they are not only wonderful people, they are also fantastic kite flyers! 🤩 Fenix Pair have already achieved some fantastic results and won several prizes, including a podium finish at the European Championships. Their teamwork, dedication and beautiful flying are truly impressive. They really show how far you can go when you work together as a team! 🏆🪁 We’re very happy that our paths crossed in the kite world and that we’re getting to know them better. I...

In April 2025, we travelled to Berck-sur-Mer, France, to spend a weekend at the Rencontres Internationales des Cerfs-Volants (International Kite Festival). The festival was filled with incredible displays, giant inflatable kites, artistic creations, and breathtaking demonstrations by some of the world's best kite pilots. Everywhere we looked, there was something new to admire. One performance, however, stood out above all the others. It was the very first time we saw Fenix Pair fly. Their precision, perfect synchronization, and graceful ballet left a lasting impression on us. I had the chance to film their performance and later sent the video to them. A small gesture that would become the beginning of a connection. During that same weekend, we took an important step in our own kite journey. We bought our first Revolution quad-line kites: two identical EXP models. Our dream was simple but exciting. To one day fly a synchronized ballet together ourselves. With our first Revolution ki...

Kite flying has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. As a child, I often went flying kites with my father. We especially loved flying dual-line kites. As the years passed, that passion slowly faded, mainly because we no longer had enough space to enjoy the hobby. Everything changed when we started spending more time at the Belgian coast. Being back on the beach brought back so many wonderful memories and rekindled my love for kite flying. I shared those memories with my husband, and before long, he wanted to give it a try himself. He started with a simple dual-line kite from Decathlon. During one of our trips, we discovered a four-line kite for the first time. It immediately caught his attention, and he began experimenting with it. Little by little, we both fell in love with the unique control and precision that four-line kites offer. At that time, we still had our beloved Whippet, Keaton. While my husband was practising, I would often stay with Keaton, enjoying our time...

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
