Throughout history kites have always been a source of excitement and magic. In the past thirteen years Bruce Flora and his associates have rekindled the wonder of kites utilizing new technology and creative ideas. With over 1,300 performances behind them, in arenas ranging from small city festivals, National Festivals and Major League Baseball Games to multi million dollar productions. the KITEMAN PRODUCTIONS team remains the world leader in innovative kite shows. This group was the first to utilize towing steerable kites behind vehicles (4-wheel ATVs, speedboats & SeaDoo watercraft) to insure show consistency under most any weather conditions. First of a kind launch systems and high performance kite designs have made it possible to stage an exciting show in virtually any type of arena. Shows using choreographed trains of kites have been staged inside the Montreal Olympic Stadium, on frozen lakes and canals, in an ocean harbor in Curacao for Master Card International, on football fields, on the EPCOT World Showcase Lagoon and in small bodies of water between hotels at Walt Disney World.
Owner Bruce Flora was one of the first to pioneer leading edge technologies to create spectacular night kite shows. Kites are now equipped with onboard radio control systems that power super LEDs, electro luminescent fibers, spotlights, high power strobes and fireworks. A team of dedicated professional technicians, boat drivers and kite pilots makes these shows safe, precise and consistent. In addition to formal kite performances KITEMAN PRODUCTIONS utilizes the worlds largest kites (30 ft. wingspans) to elevate a multitude of flying banners, 200 ft. air worms, 90 ft. spinsocks, 12.7 story high wind bols and 100 ft. inflatable kites. With space and wind, aerial marketing and displays can fill the sky and be seen for miles. Many promotional and saleable items have been developed to place a sponsors name on positive image flying products. |
