Flying Competitions

Some kitefliers enjoy competing against their fellow kitefliers to enhance their skills or reputations or to receive other awards.

Kitefliers are judged in flying single sport kites to music, teams of sport kites, and flying precision maneuvers. Teams of people flying trains of multiple kites with long tails is certain to please a crowd every time

Kitemakers’ Competitions

There are many kites that fly well, but that’s only the beginning. Kites can be enormous displays of beautiful artwork that fly like a dream. The combination of kite styles, colors, tails, designs, and patterns is unlimited.

A Variety  of competitions

AKA has established rules for competitions involving sport kites, kitemakers, persons who enjoy fighter kites or Rokkaku battles, and kite aerial photographers.
