It’s a holiday weekend, so a chance to get away.
We’re delighted to have been invited to Châtelaillon Plage again for one of our favourite festivals.
This is the 30th Festival International du Cefr-Volant et du Vent.
We look forward to seeing our French friends on the beach.
Apparently The Flying Squad Air is too long a name for our private jet. Luckily Ryan is with us this weekend. So we took this…
Arrived at Chatelaillon and headed straight for the beach. Well, why not!
Gary had some bad news… they had run dry of Leffe.
How will we cheer him up?
A bit of pre competition practice at the amazing festival – 30ème Festival International du Cerf-Volant et du Vent de Châtelaillon-Plage
The TEAMS are working and the festival is TAKING SHAPE! on the beach: tivolis, pools, roundabouts, connections…
THANK YOU to all those who MAKE the festival happen: the “girls” of the event, the technical services, the green brigade, the volunteers… And whatever the WEATHER are on the ground so everything is READY FOR YOU

We are waiting for you on March 30, 31 and April 1 2024.
Day 2
We’re The Flying Squad, of course we have a Wind meter.
We’re The Flying Squad, of course we can fly in whatever wind this is!
Well maybe not.
Red’s good though… Isn’t it.
This can only mean one thing. It’s our time to shine.
Susan, Gary, Stephen, Ryan and good friend Ramlau.
Extra Vented Detox.
The Detox’s are slightly bigger than our Revolution 1.5’s. For the current wind conditions we decided on standard Vented 1.5’s. With the Strong frame supplied by Revolution Kites.

That feeling when the wind is so perfect everything you try is pure magic! That’s been our morning.

R-Sky have been busy putting up some banners.
The teams are on the horizon on the left edge. That is further up the beach (from the banners), but clear and a good wind direction.
Even further up the beach you might spot the Wind Surfers. Alternatively take a look at the Port web cam. This is much closer to the Wind Surfer, you get a great show.
