Catalog list: If there is no kite store near you, there are many catalogs you can order from. It is a good idea to get a catalog (or several) to get some idea of what kind of kites are available. The best advice, however, is: "Fly before you buy." Whenever possible, get together with other kiters in your area and find out what kite is currently in favor.
To try and find a kite store near you, try Dave Gomberg's Kite Store Directory
of kite stores in the USA.
