Team KiteAstrophy
( or why we needed some pointers
from ex AirKraft member Carl Robertshaw! )

We decided that we'd like to get into some Team Flying just for fun. We figured we could never be good enough for serious competition as we often make such a muck up of it, so we've decided to call ourselves KiteAstrophy.

There's nothing more beautiful than   seeing the sun shine on the Matrix. It takes my breath away every time I see it.

It's amazing how in the distance the Matrices look like Angel fish swimming in the sky

Dont you think?? OK, so maybe I'm just mad

This is us, Jo (on the left) and Anne Marie armed with our Flexifoil Matrices

Unfortunately trying to learn on your own is hard, so we had a couple hours lesson from Carl Robertshaw. The winds that day were gusting to nearly 20mph (felt more like 30 to me) and the next day, we were in such agony, our arms, shoulders, legs, back. You name it... I should hire this guy as a personal trainer.

These photos were taken at Blackheath in London, in July 1998.

The day was absolutely dismal, but we learned so much from Carl. Can't wait to do it again.
