    Victor was the kindest soul we've ever met, not only was he personable but he taught us so much about kites. He blossomed a new hobby of ours

    Prism Kite Tube Tail

    Victor has been in busy for over 52 years and in his 80s is still passionate about his work! Victor and his son gave me a fantastic deal on tails for my kite. He also does kite repairs with parts that no one else has on hand. So if you want to support small business and buy a quality made product (Prism), this is your store. Also, if you look on Prism's website, kite country is an authorized dealer. Moreover, Victor will beat any price in town. I will definitely be back for more.

    Friendly service. Store sells big and small kite equipment. They have a small inventory of kiteboarding gear, but if you are looking for kite parts for your older kite gear, i bet they have it!

    This store is a hidden gem and lately I've been telling everyone about it. I got into duel line stunt kites 2-3 years ago and had ordered a Prism Quantum from Amazon because I didn't Kite Country existed. When I was researching how to get a replacement part for my kite, that's when I found this awesome store. The part I needed, Prism no longer made and another part I needed would have cost a lot and taken weeks to arrive. Well the kite guru Victor custom made me both parts within 20 minutes and then I was back out flying within that hour. I've now been back to his store 6-10 times for any kite needs and his prices are very competitive. I just picked up a second 75 foot tail to make my kite even more psychedelic. Each time chatting with Victor I get valuable lessons on how to improve. I can't say enough great things about this store. Please support this small family owned business, spread the word and don't let business like Amazon take away sales.

    Thank you for fixing my kite, it looks beautiful :)

    This kite establishment is run by a kite Guru and is a goldmine, plain and simple. Look no further for any kite tips or supplies.

    My husband and I were shopping for Hoka's. They had a pretty small selection. They did have my…read morehusband's size but not many colors to choose from. They had none in my size and only one color available. I won't look for athletic shoes again at Dick's. Regarding service, they brought the men's shoe out right away. It took a while for them to bring out anything for me to try on. After we tried on the shoes, we never saw the salesperson again.

    I popped into the store today to buy a couple of accessories for my Stanley 40 oz. cup. I've been…read morein this store quite a few times and they typically have a HUGE selection of Stanley, Yeti, Owala, and Hydroflask drinking vessels in addition to other brands. Today as I browsed around, I noted that the store was overwhelmed with World Cup gear which is cool, but the merchandise that I saw, including Jerseys, t-shirts, shorts, etc., was really crowded and disorganized and it looked like the Tasmanian Devil had whirled himself through it. The aisles were also impossibly packed with stuff, and it made passing other customers an obstacle course. Anyway, I also walked past the flip-flops with the intention of possibly purchasing a new pair for the summer. Leather Olukais were almost $90, simple Havaianas were over $40, and plastic Birks were $50. Needless to say, I didn't buy any... I'll stick with my beloved & comfy Reefs that I bought last summer. Finally, I walked over the water bottles... There was one type of Stanley straws available and they were $11.25. I looked online and the same straws were originally priced at $15 , but were on sale for $9. There were no Stanley "boots" in the store, so I couldn't get one of those. They had some made by another brand, and a few Owala ones, but none of the colors worked with my tumbler. So I just decided to get the straws. I asked the cashier if they honor online prices, and she said they did which I appreciated. She looked at my phone and said, "oh these other straws are the ones that are on sale." I said, "these straws (in my hand) are the only ones that you have in the store." And then she agreed to give me the discount... Keep in mind that the prices of the same item were different online vs. in store, and then the higher priced straws were discounted even further. Buyer beware... I left the store with my straws in hand, and a burning desire not to return to this store again, unless I absolutely have to, as the shopping experience was mediocre in my opinion. Mahalo!

While browsing, I received a call from a Deaf friend and began communicating with him in American Sign Language. An employee named Aya approached me and asked whether I intended to make a purchase. I politely explained that I did and that I was simply finishing my conversation. Despite that explanation, she repeatedly questioned me about whether I was going to buy something. She reminded me that the store closed at 9:00 p.m., and I responded that it was only about 8:25 p.m. and that I still had plenty of time to complete my purchase. Even after I explained that I was almost done with my conversation, she continued pressing the issue and suggested that I take my conversation elsewhere. The interaction made me feel unwelcome, pressured, and uncomfortable enough that I decided not to make a purchase at all. I left the store and intend to raise my concerns with corporate because I do not believe customers should be repeatedly questioned after clearly stating that they intend to buy something.
