Team Spectrum was formed in 1996 as a pairs display team - Bryan and Carl are Father and Son in which they fly together using 2 line sports kites generally with the addition of tails on the kites.
We demonstrate synchronized kite flying choreographed to a musical accompaniment. These days Bryan has almost completely retired from the main displays taking more of a "back seat" role allowing Carl to find his individuality in which he breaks away from pairs setup, focusing on multiple kite flying. Carl will fly on his own routines using 2 and or 3 dual line kites simultaneously to music. Sometimes flying under the name - Me, Myself and I - |

Our 2019 demo format is mostly based around Carl and his multiple kite flying skills.
Carl's normal routines involve him flying with two kites and also three kites, sometimes using tails.
Occasionally Bryan will join Carl and fly some of their trademark pairs routines with tails.
All displays and content are weather dependent.

Carl is proficient in Multi Sport Kite Flying and fly's choreographed routines using up to three 2 line sports kites flown totally independently.
These are flown one in each hand and one from round the waist when flying all three. People often ask who flies these 3 kites - Carl responds with - Me, Myself and I - thus why at some festivals he wears the T-Shirt. |

Between Carl's multiple kite flying routines and if conditions allow Bryan and Carl fly together as a pair. Also depending on wind strength, will attach up three sets of 35M tails to our kites painting the sky with lines of swirling colour.
