Bristol Kite Store

Itchy have got no strings to hold us down...but we do have some to lift us up, and we got them at Bristol Kite Store. They have the lot, from the simple blustery pleasures of traditional toys to massive sports models constructed out of more foil than you used dressing up as a turkey for your last office Christmas do.<br/><br/>If you're the type for whom a spare Saturday spent skipping through the Downs with a Mr Whippy in hand is as strenuous as a weekend gets, pick up something cheap and cheerful for a fun afternoon on the hills. Lots of even the most basic kites come with a repair service, so it doesn't matter if you crash them into the only tree within a seven mile radius. Kite flying is also about as romantic as a bout of wind can be. <br/><br/>For those with more cojones and a spirit of adventure, the serious gear comes into play. The staff here are all seasoned adrenaline junkies who give top class tips on products and events in the likes of kite surfing, mountain boarding, buggies and stunt kites. That's stunt kites. Careful how you say that one.
