No kitesurf kites though, probably the most popular kites on the market now? Maybe in the west, not sure about the east.

One of my favorite kite shops is out of Boulder, Colorado: Into The Wind[0]
I’ve only bought from them once or twice, but I used to spend hours paging through their paper catalog as a kid. I also visited their shop in Boulder as a teen — that was really fun.
The kite survived that & flew fine on later occasions. Now that she's seen it fly, though, she has lost interest in kites that won't fly.
A couple years ago I wandered past their store in Boulder and was floored that there was a real, physical incarnation of that magical catalog. I took my little kids there this winter and it was like passing a spark between generations.
