The Kites

We are able to fly almost any type of kite, we’ve not found one yet that we can’t fly!

Choosing different kites for different winds we are able to compete or display in the widest of conditions.  Whether we are flying our range of single line kites or performing one of our many choreographed kite ballet routines, we only choose the best.

Revolution kites were the first and still the best choice of four line kites.  These incredibly maneuverable and robust kites are perfect for our formation team displays.

With their unique flying abilities we are able to create elaborate formations and patterns and even stack them together to make ground sculptures.

In partnership with Pedro Gonzalez, Stephen Versteegh has evolutionized the Revolution style quad line kite.
Pedro perfected the art of printing art work directly onto kites.  This technique allows us to have our own unique designs on our kites.

At the The Flying Squad we don’t just use Quad Line kites, we also use dual line kites to use as a team kite. It’s precision, maneuverability and advanced trick ability make them ideal for the team’s routines.  It’s strong graphics and flyability make this a popular kite with the team.

Carl Robertshaw Serpent Deltas

Carl Robertshaw is perhaps the UK’s most famous and prolific kite designer and maker. Carl is famous for his Serpent Delta Kites.

These beautiful kites are graceful and stable during the day, but ethereal and elegant when flown at night under spot lights. We fly these regularly at festivals and events , they are a great crowd pleaser.

Carl is also one of the design team for The Hatchling
