Westhoek Friesland

Thank you Brenda; That I was allowed to use her pictures.

A day flying kites with Brenda and Albert in the Westhoek, Friesland. What a place!
And as top of the bill: After kiteflying we went back to the house with Henk and Thijo for the great Snert (soup) of Albert.

Tahara part II

Still not what it should be... but we are getting close. In the meantime I have changed the bridle to a 4 point bridle (2 on the leading edge, 2 adjustables on the spine). Let's hope that I get it stable and less noise diving...

Tahara

Test flight of my first out of 4 new Taharas. Inspired by the Leong Chee Wan, Carl Longbotton and Patrick Koppen I had to build this one too... Instead of using them as a fighter, I will use them as single line kites. A little overpowered wind today for a good test flight but here some pictures...

De Leeuw van Waterloo

Next year, 200 years after the battle, the site will be totally renovated.

De Leeuw van Waterloo (45meters high), the main memorial monument of the battle of Waterloo, seen from a kite. If you haven't kite to see the lion that close...you have to clime 226 stairs to reach the top..
