I am new to this news group. I am looking for mail-order addresses to buy kites and recommendations on a good kite for a beginner.

I'm new to the group to. But I've been flying for about three years and my first kite I purchased from A kite shop in Ocean City, Md. It was a Peter Powell "Diamond shapped kite" with a 100 foot tail. It also came with all the hardware, including handles, and string. All for about $45.00. I think it was a great kite to learn on because it didn't need to be balanced or held with a stake. I just threw some sand on it which spilled off as soon as the kite started to become airborne. Additionally as it was my first stunt kite, I beat the hell out of it, including dumping it into the ocean. Which was great fun because once it came back to the surface it would take off from the water. I now get most of my stuff from "Into The Wind" a mail order company in Denver (I think). But I've seen advertisements for them in the classifieds of almost every Magazine I get. including Popular Science, Smithonian etc. The point of all this is look in the classifieds. | THE MASKED KARROT Pete McCann | \|/ | |_| ---------- [==] petem@wpi.wpi.edu | IF IT DOESN"T | \--O--O--/ / | FIT USE A |===\ ^ /===/ | BIGGER HAMMER | \ -- / / Worcester Polytechnic | ==\ /== Institute (WPI) | = \/ = Worcester MA 01609 | == == | = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = Date: Thu, 22 Jul 1993 11:27:07 -1000 From: seacat@carson.u.washington.edu ( ) Message-Id: <22n0nb$b90@news.u.washington.edu> Organization: University of Washington Subject: Re: Mail Order Addresses?
