You will participate in the Team Masters Show, how did you learn the news?
A direct invitation.

Is this your first public performance?
If no, what memories do you have of your most recent participation?
We are a team that we have enjoyed participating in festivals over 10 years flying choreographies of 4
lines and since recently, we are also trying with two lines ;-).
For us it was a new experience and a challenge to participate in the 1st Team Masters show, next to the
biggest teams that there is currently.

We have some of the world’s top teams here for Mastershow, but also some less well known, which could
perhaps create a surprise, does not that impress you?
This fusion of different types and levels of teams in the same format is a great challenge. We feel it as
very positive (although sometimes it can be a bit intimidating) because with this closeness to the great
teams everybody can learn many things

Can you detail the equipment you will need for the competition?
Masque Standard & Vented
Linesets 50 to 130 kg

How did you prepare for this event (frequency of training sessions …)?
We train as much as possible while weather conditions and family responsabilities permit.

Your ballet is ready for a while but will we see some surprises?
If weather conditions make it posible, maybe…

The world of 2 lines seems to have a new life, do you think that this kind of competition that awaits the
public at Narbonne Plage can help the discipline and draw in new practitioners?
Absolutely agree. We have been privileged witnesses through these past years watching how the public
comes to see the event and how much interest show in watching the teams flying both in competition as
in pure exhibition. It is very rewarding.

Narbonne Plage, in the south of France welcomes you. Can you tell us what you think of this format
which is different to the classic format?
It is a much more dynamic format and we think that for the public it is much more entertaining, since they
can enjoy watching the competitions together with flight exhibitions of all kinds.

Is there anything you would like to say to the organization of the Kite Master Show?
A big thank you for creating an event with this kind of format.

It looks like this year, many female pilots will fly in competition. Do you think women have a different
approach to flying and choreographic construction?
We do not really appreciate differences in the type of flight or choreography creation due to being girls or
boys. We think that the that the most conditioning fact is the size and strength of the pilot (whether
women or man)

What can we wish you for this new big meeting of the teams?
A lot of people enjoying the event, good wind and everyone having a good time
