Section 3: American Kiteflyers Association Member/Merchants
===========================================================
(Updated per Brooks Leffler database 12/93)
What follows is a listing of American Kitefliers Association
Member/Merchants, from the AKA magazine Kiting. I want to
thank Brooks Leffler, AKA Executive Director, and Billy Jones of the
Kite Loft for their agreement and assistance in making this inclusion
possible. AKA Member/Merchants, by their listing in the Kiting magazine
have agreed to give a 10% discount from their regular store prices to AKA
members in good standing. As you can see, it pays to become an AKA member
if you aren't already, and to support the AKA Member/Merchants. The list is
broken down by states and other-than-US-countries. Any typos are
intentional to see if you're paying attention.. :-) There will be some
duplication, but I wanted to get the AKA dealers in a separate section.

Section 4: Kitemaker's Supplies (added for 9/93 posting)
===============================
Since I've had a number (well, OK... 2-3) of requests for shops that sell
kitemaker's supplies like sailcloth, spars, etc I've compiled this listing
for addition to the FAQ..
Here's a listing of some shops/dealers that I know sell supplies..
There may be some duplication of other sources on the main list..
This listing is by no means complete, and if you run across other
dealers that sell kite making supplies, please pass them along for
inclusion on my list. Also, if you're near a body of water large
enough, check out any sailmakers in your area for ripstop
spinnaker cloth..
