Sara Russell

Medford OR USA

Sara started flying quad line kites in 2018, after years of going along to dozens of kite events with family and watching from the sidelines. Her progress since has been fierce and nearly meteoric, and she has put tremendous effort into earning her place on Team KiteLife. That included training sessions with the team in Long Beach, Washington, in her early days as a team pilot (watch one here).

Over the past couple of years she has traveled widely to festivals across the US and Canada, and outside TKL she has flown with other teams, including WOW and the Flaming Emus. Flying with so many teams in so many places has given her a broad range of flying styles and conditions. Quad line kites remain her main love, but Sara is always exploring new styles.
