Fuerteventure next week!

anyone from this group going? I'm shooting a new video with the new line of kites, I am looking for a few volunteers to help with Filming and Flying.

What's happening there?

where is it?

XIII annual Kite festival. This is my 3rd year in a row, wouldn't miss it for anything!

Germans and English Fliers, normally one American, (me) and bunch of Spanish Fliers meet once a year, normally the first week of November for a semi unorganized Kite kite festival. Many go for 2-4 weeks, I can't so I nomally go for only a few days. This year a little longer. Since I dont get to fly too much, this is where i get a good practice in everyday to brush up on my skills, learn no tricks from the German and English fliers, and generally have a great time. I hope to put together a package trip for next year.

Scotty and I are in the process of putting up pics of my past festivals, one group will be entitled 'Fuerteventure99' and I will surely add this years pics when I get back. You can also see footage of this place in Fantasy 99 Video Dodd

Thats 'NEW' not no..... sorry for the typo..

Very very sadly, I won't be there this year. But here's an idea though Dodd - why not try to feature nothing but nice, suitably dressed Spanish girls in the video ? Oh, and the kites . Enjoy, MdeR.

Hi Dave, as it turns out, sand got in the camera, dont know how that happened, and I never could get the tape to eject. Sent the Camera to Sony 4 weeks ago, but have not gotten back yet. If I dont I will have to buy a new camera for next week. If I do get it back, I will bring the tape along so you can see it.

Can you help me out again this year? I will be there on Thursday

It would be nice if you can and perhaps I can take a copy as I will bring my DV Camcorder with a( DV in) of course.

Be glad to help

I have been hounding Tim for a mini gemini to take out there but no luck as yet. (still remaining hopeful )

See you there

Could do with some details please guys.

What dates? And where on the island do you all meet up?

We just happen to be taking a holiday on the island next month and it would be good to come and say hello.

Hi Kathy, the sand dunes national park near Correlejo. Many go for a few weeks, and fly large single lines there everyday. The festival starts on Friday, but there are probably a few flying kites now.

I will be there until the 12th so look for me and say hello. Have a nice trip
