I am interested in flying kites as a new hobby. Can anyone please point
me to the local stores that sell kite? I have been looking around in
places like walmart or department stores for a long time to no avail.

BTW: I live around Philadelphia.

All suggestions will be highly appreciated!

Also good places on the 'net are:

http://www.funwithwind.com/store/dynamicIndex.asp

http://www.intothewind.com/

For some of the "big stuff" you can go to http://www.gombergkites.com/ but
he also has smaller kites, and gads of 'line laundry' and just good 'stuff'

... and don't forget the American Kiteflyers Association (AKA) where your
membership can pay for itself if you buy enough kites at participatiing
dealers ;-) http://www.aka.kite.org/

ALSO, check out your local kite clubs ... see
http://www.aka.kite.org/?cgi-bin/resource_finder.cgi?region=2 Talking
"live" to other kiters can give you more information than can often can be
gotten anyplace else.

My favorite is www.kiteconnection.com. It's right at the end of my fngers, which is
as local as you can get.

Consider yourself lucky. If you'd found something in a place like that it would
probably have been crap, so you'd have wasted your money and maybe decided that kite
flying sucks.
