Kites in Cervia
Photos of our zero- and light wind kites: in the evenings during the Cervia kite festivals.
Kite festival Cervia, zero wind kites
We use to visit the kite festival in Cervia with joy, founded by artist Claudio Capelli. In the earlier years, the international meeting was situated on the wide large beach in the middle of the small town with its characteristic streets shaded by platanes. Later the festival was moved to the southern part of the town, where the beach is confined and narrow. We met many interesting people and won friends down there at this beautiful place at the flat coast of the adria. If you have time, visit Cervia.
The day before, in the evening ...
The festival kite by Claudio Capelli, Cervia. The frame of this classic "poster-kite" is built up by a stiff spine and two differently long flexible spreaders. Usually, the tail is a "U", attached at the two lower corners. Being small, (e.g. 50 x 70 cm), the little kite flies quite steadily in sufficient wind.
The kite and the thinker. Like a rolling stone.
The kite, the sea, and the hand.

Kite: the long way home.
Feathers by Johan Hallin: beautiful kites.
A 50 feet long tail with an attached kite. Relaxing in the cooling light winds … c'est la vie freestyle.
Andi Malandi from Vienna, Thomas Horvath, Jürgen Weigand from Germany and Tullo Lolli from Bologna soaring around in no wind on this only calm evening of the festival. Kites: three long way homes and Tullos white like a rolling stone ul.
And home again: arrivederci Cervia.
Two beautiful days, then consistent rain and storm. No kites back then, but this marvelous early morning at 5.30.
The day after, morning …
