Does anyone know of a good website to buy a decent kite?

DP is partial to a bit of high wind (lmao ) so I was thinking of getting him a fairly decent kite as his present from the DDs.

Would ideally like a stunt kite or whatever the term is and quite a big one really.

Any help most appreciated

ebay?

I don't know where about you live but there is a kite shop in bluewater shopping centre.

Their website is www.airbornkites.co.uk/

Amazon, I keep saying it but it is cheapest for most things!

Thanks Thankyou, I had a look at ebay and there are many many kites on there. I was hoping a website that just sold kites would have a bit of an "idiots guide to buying a good (but not professional/extreme/kitesurfing) kite"

The airborn kite website has a how to guide on it. here

That's the trick, go to the pro websites for tips, then find the same much cheaper on ebay or amazon.

Aah, now that's the ticket micku. I'm in Glasgow but they deliver so will have a mooch around. Excellent bits explaining how each type of kite works
Thank you

(will then look at Amazon to compare cheapness!)

Just realised you mean the ones that you hold onto rather than kite surfing. Ignore my last post.

Pansh Kites can be brought quite cheaply.

That's excellent MrsMuddle...they offer Power Kite Flying Lessons! Amazing. Right up DP's street.
Thanks
