By-the-way, I have an extra bag full of Codys, Schwiemann Pyro Deltas, Grimsel Kites, and Martin Lester's Legs and Divers.
The newspapers report that over 300,000 visitors attended the ten day event. And I beleive it too. Can you imagine how long the lines were for the bathrooms??
Wednesday was kids day. About 3,000 little ones came to the huge beach and completely filled it with kites, string, sand holes, lost shoes, and questions that none of us understood. How do you explain to a seven year old French kid that kites fly *down*wind??
The European events are really into banners and ground displays. Sometimes they are a bit more artistic than the onces we have here in the States.
Check out these very cool delta variants from Jos Valke of Belgium.
And of course, no festival would be complete without a few self-serving photos of the Gomberg Crowns..
And again, we do have those Schwiemann Pyro Deltas in stock.
