VENUE:
The courses take place in Prague at the “Smeťák” kite spot in Uhříněvs. It is a former landfill (hence the name Smeťák) with a grass surface, which is taken care of by the civic association and sports club Kiteloop. The area is excellent for landkiting with mountainboards and buggies. We also use this location for our landkiting courses and regular spring and fall Pegas Kite Games events.
Due to its slightly elevated position in an open space, it is suitable for all wind directions.
