I always love Kites , Colourful
flying high up in the sky , It gives me a sense of freedom . Recently I came across
with this magnificent thing name Indoor kite flying. I was just wondering what that
is?
Indoor Kite Flying
I know, many of you might be
thinking the same. Kite and indoor ? they doesn’t go together ! But ITS VERY MUCH POSSIBLE.
From Japan to Germany…from India
to Italy, a new breed of kite flyer is being born. At all times of the day and
night you will find these dedicated enthusiasts inside schools, warehouses,
gymnasiums, churches, ballrooms and even shopping malls, chasing an element
exactly opposite traditional kite flying…a windless environment!
Many indoor kite flyers enjoy
outdoor kiting with the wind at their backs, although they experience common
limitations and restrictions, mostly weather and wind related…too cold, too
hot, not enough wind, too much wind, etc. However, one restriction stands out
above most…the inability to fly in the entire 360 degree window surrounding
them. Typical outdoor wind conditions may allow a skilled kite pilot to fly as
much as 180 degrees side to side and approach direct overhead manoeuvres;
however, indoor conditions commonly allow a skilled pilot to fly 360 degrees
and any overhead direction. Indoor kite pilots create wind utilizing various
walking patterns, and shoulder, arm and wrist movements as well as acrobatic
twisting, spinning and twirling making the kite flying experience more of a
dance. Each body nuance is mirrored in the kite creating an artistic reflection
of the flyer’s creativity.
Frequently called, “one of the
most amazing things ever seen”, indoor kite flying challenges the observer to
question the very idea of gravity. Kite flying is not what it used to be.
Technological innovations such as super strong lightweight fabrics and
composite carbon rods allow a skilled indoor kite pilot to manoeuvre futuristic
looking, aerodynamic pieces of artwork through a windless environment with
ease.
Just add air! These lightweight,
super efficient indoor kites require no wind. Defying gravity, indoor kites are
propelled by a gentle balance of movement and precise technique. These marvels
of architectural design range in size from 1 to 10 meters and are guided on fly
lines up to 20 meters long. Indoor kite flying is a true demonstration of art
in motion.
So do enjoy this new breed of
crazy kite flying , who knows you also might get addicted to it.
