Indoor Kite Flying
About Indoor Kite Flying
Modern kites are lightweight and extremely efficient to the point where large kites can be flown indoors at walking speed. Coupled with music and precise flying techniques, this becomes a fascinating show of accuracy and tricks that takes performance art to new heights. Glenn has flown indoor performances in local schools and as far away as Taipei, Taiwan.

"Check out Glenn Davison's new book available on Amazon! - This book explains the kites and techniques for launching, flying, and performing with kites indoors with zero wind. Many people have found indoor kite flying can be a performance art, a great alternative to flying kite outdoors during bad weather, and an opportunity to fly kites in the winter. Often accompanied by music, indoor kite flying has become a standard feature of many kite festivals. No matter what the weather is like outdoors, you can guarantee that the weather indoors will be perfect. Very cool!"
