We Still Have Kites

Saturday, November 15th, 2008

It’s always kite season when it’s windy!  We have a wide selection of fabulous fliers, from simple animal-themed delta and diamond kits all the way to extra-fancy designer and stunt kites.  Have a look at two of our favorite kites for kids:

The pocket parafoil ($16 to $18) is our all-time favorite and best-seller.  It has no sticks, so you can just shake it out of the bag and toss it in the air.  If there’s ANY wind, it should fly, and if the day is windless, you can run really fast down a big hill and get some flight.  When you’re done you just wad it back up and stuff it in the bag.  So easy!  Comes with plenty of string on a winder, and a super-long tail.  I took two of them to the beach in October and let the string allll the way out and planted them in the sand.  It was quite a fulfilling experience.

The 7 foot shark kite has also been fairly popular.  It’s only $22, made with durable nylon, and includes a nylon carry bag and 200 feet of line on a winder.  Look cool while your predator stalks the skies in search of other kites.
