LOOKING FOR A KITE?

Buy a Kite


World-renowned and award winning kitebuilders work with manufacturers to re-create exclusive designs.  Here's your chance to add a few to your collection

                 
 

 

WILL YOU STILL NEED ME AT 65 ?

Still making kites at 65?

 

I sure hope you're still making kites at 65.... but me? I can't guarantee that I'll still be cutting fabric and packing boxes. So take advantage of this deal NOW.

I know the proper name of the song is "When I'm 64" but the fabric I am offering for sale is  .65 ounce... and Paul turned 65 in June. So, while supplies last, top quality ripstop nylon in multiple colors at a fantastic price of
$3.00 per yard.  If there's any left in 2029, we'll do this again,  when I'm 65 (gulp)     

This .65 ounce 60" Ripstop Nylon is a bit lighter than our regular .75 ounce, but still a great fabric for kites, line laundry, and ground displays.
