A group of individuals has come together to form a team to represent the United States in the upcoming World Kite Cup in Berck sur-Mer, France at the end of April, 2024. Sport Kite Competition and flying has a long treasured past in the United States, and for the first time in many years, the United States will be sending a delegation to this premiere world kite event. The team is comprised of a quad line team, a dual line pair, a quad line pair, and individual competitors along with a person serving as support staff.
This team wants to represent not only the United States, but the Sport Kite Community. The sport itself has been going through a big change up; with not only a new influx of dedicated fliers, but a change in the support systems and competition fields for the dedicated competitors and performers. With the coverage of the event, the in-depth sharing of the build up to the event, and the continuous coverage of the highlights but the challenges, the people on this team are also hoping to inspire and encourage the many sport kite fliers waiting to take the field.
So why do they need your help? Doing something on the level that we are intending to, does not come easy. It requires a ton of work, commitment, countless hours training, pouring over gear, music, theory, videos. It also requires a strong set of professional and personal ethics. Everyone that is on this team was selected not only on merit, but because of their ability to represent the United States in a way that would leave their fellow fliers at home proud. To say you are a part of Team USA is to say you are committed to the same values that the USA Olympic and Paralympic team embodies: Excellence, Respect, Friendship, Determination, Inspiration, Equality and Courage. They want to bring all of that back to you as well. So you can say you are proud to be a supporter of Team USA.
