A medley from the 2016 Washington State International Kite Festival in Long Beach, Washington: dual and quad line freestyle, team flying, dogstaking and more. In dogstaking, the lines run through pulleys on a stake anchored in the ground, so the kite flies close around the pilot. It was an especially exciting outing, because we got to try so many different kinds of kite flying in one week.

Pilots, the four original Team KiteLife members: Brett Marchel, Scott Benz, Eli Russell and John Barresi.
