Here's a little video recap of our first kite festival since 2019: Wind Festival Texel 2021 at the De Koog beach. Winds were not ideal but the weather was fine on saturday. Good to fly with the Tricksparty crew together once again. Another huge thank you to the organisation and fellow kite flyers for making this happen. Enjoy!

Another nice kite on loan from Krijn: 90Six STD Skyshark version. This kite is framed in Nitro LS, P200 ULE, P300 LLE. Mango Icarex color accent. More mass compared to my 90Six with pultruded frame. Faster pitch too. Flown in very stable (moderate) sea wind on 40 meter lines at Meijendel beach. Love these late summer temperatures. Enjoy!

Here's a short video of Benson Kites Deep Space std. Had a corrupt video file of the other angles due to a empty battery so i had to work with what I got. Thanks Lars for providing the kite. Flown at Lies beach, Terschelling.

Early morning session with the BadAss superultralight in zero wind conditions at Formerum Beach, Terschelling. This kite is sooooo slooooooow. Love it.

I've added the specs of the 90Three 6mm version to the plan page:

Here's also a little video of the kite:
OSTK Episode 33: 90Three 6mm | IckyTV

Open Source Trickkites episode 33 features the 90Three kite with a 6mm pultruded carbon frame flown at Domburg beach in Zeeland. This frame works very well. The windrange is quite good and it seems to handle turbulent wind a bit better compared to the Skyshark versions. The tracking/speedcontrol/feedback is impressive. In tricks it needs a bit more guiding and slack management. The specs are currenty available on the plan page of the 90Three. See link below.

This is the original (unmodified) KRD Element designed by Chris Goff and was built by Kite Related Design. The kite was introduced around 2009(ish) and I still consider this to be a extreme kite. Had a go with it at Meijendel in a superb beach breeze on short lines (20m). Thanks to Gabor Nagy for providing the kite. Here's a small clip of that morning session. Enjoy!

Awesome and amazing! One of the best kite videos i‘ve ever seen!

But…plastic? Really? Can you also make some from sustainable materials? Like paper, corn, soja or something else?

where did you hear plastic? It's nano-tech bio material!

Summer in Holland! Nothing beats a trip to the beach on a warm day. Brought my 90Three SUL kite with a short lineset (20m) for a short session in a very steady sea breeze. Had a blast! Go build your own!

A small Neox video:
Neox | EOLO Sport | IckyTV

The Neox trick kite by EOLO Sport was released in 2006. This ready to fly package was great value for money, just like it's brother: the Over. Equiped with Ventex sail, Dynamic DT frame, Dyneema lineset with straps and a padded sleeve it was all you needed to get into trick flying with a capable kite without going bankrupt. My Neox is the later Icarex version. Here's a short clip of the Neox flown in pretty strong sea wind at Meijendel Beach. Lines, landings and a few tricks. It was a fun session!

Great color scheme, Tullo. Do let us know what you think of the Escape.

You'll like it for sure!

Small video of the in-between size: 90Six

90Six | IckyTV

Krijn had a slightly smaller print of the 90Nine templates lying around and decided to build 2 sails: hence the name “90Six”. My version is framed in single piece 6mm Exel Cruise lowerspreader and spine, 5,5 mm Structil leading edges and 5 mm upper spreader. I quite like it, especially with the leech line completely loose. Nice feedback, slow in flight and reasonably precise. This video was shot at “Het Drenkelingenhuisje” located on the beach near De Boschplaat (UNESCO) nature reserve on the uninhabited eastern part of Terschelling island. Well worth the bike ride and hike. Enjoy!

Comete to Taz, sehr hübsch. Die fühlen sich wohl im Süden

The escape does those very well indeed

BaDAss SUL video:
Level One BadAss Superultralight | IckyTV

The SUL is the (almost) no wind version of Level One's popular BadAss sport kite. The pultruded frame combination and sail construction makes this kite 60 grams lighter (200 grams) compared to the UL version. Veeeeeery sloooooow in flight and tricks. This video was made in a barely noticeable morning sea breeze at Paal 7 beach, Terschelling. Enjoy!
