But when the weather cooperates and the wind feels just right, you don’t hesitate. You pack the bag, toss the kite lines in, and head for the beach.

This Sunday had all the makings of a perfect autumn session. The air was crisp and clear, about seven degrees, and the sun added just enough warmth to make it comfortable. Out over the fjord, the water shimmered like a blurry mirror of steel-blue light, and a steady breeze of around four meters per second came rolling straight in from the sea.

When the wind blows directly off the fjord, it’s usually silky smooth — no gusts, no turbulence, just clean air. For a kite flyer, that’s pure gold.

So, what to fly today?

After a quick look at the sky and a few steps on the beach to feel the pressure of the wind, the choice was easy: the A-Quad Semivented. This kite was made for conditions like these — enough venting to handle the steady airflow, but still responsive and lively. From the first launch, it was clear that the match was perfect.

The lines tightened with just the right tension. The A-Quad rose gracefully, steady and eager, then came alive at the first command. It obeyed every cue instantly — slicing clean 90-degree turns, snapping to a dead stop midair, then drifting effortlessly into slow, soft arcs that almost looked like slow motion. It’s one of those rare days when the kite feels like an extension of your own hands, when every movement flows naturally, and the kite simply listens.

Further down the beach stood an abstract metal sculpture. Its strange shapes and open spaces turned out to be the perfect playground for the kite. The two — kite and sculpture — began a quiet dance in the wind, tracing invisible lines around each other. At moments, it almost looked as if the kite was teasing the sculpture, hovering inches above before darting away again.

Flying sessions like this are why we keep coming back. It’s not about records or tricks — it’s about feeling the air, the balance, the light, the rhythm of wind and motion. It’s about that sense of flow where time disappears, and it’s just you, the wind, and the kite.

And when everything clicks — the conditions, the equipment, your own rhythm — it feels almost magical.

So yes, two Sundays in a row, and hopefully not the last this autumn. But enough talk — the video below tells the story better than any words could.

Sit back, watch, and feel the wind.
