United We Fly: The Journey of the USA Sport Kite Team to the 2024 World Kite Cup

*Shot in HD - consider selecting HD in your youtube settings for the full experience*
In April of 2024 eight individuals from around the United States came together to represent the nation at the World Kite Cup in Berck-sur-Mer, France.
There were a few challenges, a short time to prepare, and a chance to really show the world what it means to unite together under one sky.
Before the event, the team had never flown together, traveled together, or competed together.
What came of it was an amazing ten days together sharing the love, passion, and drive to fly sport kites.
