Kuwaiti Kite Team Forsakes Guinness Record For National Pride

Explaining the passion behind big inflatable kites that the Al-Farsi team has, Khaled Ameer says the team that comprises 30 members is passionate about big flying objects. "We saw the Kuwaiti national flag inflatable kite fluttering in the sky as our way of letting the world know where our country is," Khaled said.

"This is the reason we have not approached Guinness for a record for the Ray Kite and if someone betters the existing record, we will come right back," he adds.

The tag biggest also presents its fair share of problems for the team to display this flag kite at international kite festivals abroad. "We will require the hosts to arrange for logistics of transporting a kite of this size and dimension," he says adding the kite also requires huge tractors to hold it on the ground. Incidentally, Khaled with team mates Mohammad Ahmad and Fahad Al Mohammad are in the city to participate in the two-day Rotary International Kite Festival 2016.
