Mumbai, 22nd December, 2014: Come January and the skies become a playground filled with colours of festivity and the airborne wonders called kites. For some it’s a tradition followed over generations in celebration of the winter solstice, but for most it is a passion to tame the wind and fly high.
Red Bull Kite Fight, the first-ever kite flying competition in the country, aims to find the most talented kite-flyer in the country. Taking place in the vibrant city of Ahmedabad – home to a large number of kite aficionados, Red Bull Kite Fight 2015 celebrates one of Gujarat’s most loved festivals, Uttarayan from 9th to 11th January 2015. This one-of-its-kind competition is supported by Gujarat Tourism.
So what’s the fight all about?
Each participant is given 5 kites and has to fight it out with his fellow flyers to survive till the very end. The top three winners from each day then go on to participate in the pre-final rounds. In the finals, the winners of Day 1, Day 2, and Day 3 compete for the title. The last-man-standing is crowned as the Red Bull Kite Fight Champion.
