Got my son's first kite here. He is so happy! The owners were helpful with showing me how to do the kite knot too. We will be back when it's time to upgrade my son's kite. read more

Vic is amazing. I've been flying his 'Fighter' since I was a kid with my father (45 years ago at least). We bought them from him at Mission Bay decades ago. While cleaning up my garage, I came across 3 of them still in the tubes, but really needing some TLC. I took them to Kite Country not even realizing it was Vic's place. He reconditioned them all at a ridiculously good price, and it was great catching up with him! read more

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 read more

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. read more

Great place! The owner and son are super helpful and take time to help. I will be back in the future for all my kite needs!

Stopped by Kite Country during our trip to San Diego to purchase a new kite and find string for our big octopus kite. The shop owner is amazing and very knowledgeable. He taught me how to tie off the lead for the big octopus kite I purchased online, and attached the string to the kite I bought from his shop as well. Both kites flew like the wind and received lots of attention. read more

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.

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. read more

See all

I can't believe at this time he has less than 10 reviews on Yelp! People need to know about Victor. Semi-difficult to find the place; as its' tucked in the back of an industrial strip mall. This is a WELL STOCKED SHOP, lots of kites, miles of string & he's even got equipment to outfit kiteboarding. I told him what I wanted in a kite, told him my budget & I got a lot of knowledge & an excellent kite that I'm still flying 2 years later (*Yeah, I should have reviewed him eariler). He also does great over the phone service. I went to *another* San Diego store before coming here & the selection at the other store was not as Good as Kite Country & the prices were much more at the other store also. Bottom line = This IS Kite Country! read more

My kite strings were in terrible shape. I took it to two other places first, one place that told me my kite would never fly again, and the second which recommended Kite Country for the extensive repair the kite needed. The family members who run the store have a broad knowledge of kites. They did a beautiful job and today I was able to pick up my kite and fly it, something I was told was going to be impossible. Thank you Kite Country! Flying my octopus kite for the first time today was the highlight of my entire week, and I'm looking forward to taking it with me to every beach and park day from now on :3 read more

The owner was very knowledgable about kites & is here help people with their kites. I was impressed with his hospitality.

Victor was incredibly informative. He knows his kite history. What a treat these days to go to a business and have someone who can provide you with all the necessary parts new and old, (I have (2) twenty year old kites). He's well known in the kite community, and a member of the San Diego kite club. Pricing is more than reasonable. Kite country is always going to be my first stop for any of my kite needs. read more

Didn't actually go to the store, but made a phone call to ask if they had a kite I thought I wanted to buy for my dad. I am new to kites and wasn't sure about which lite to get. The guy who answered the phone was more than helpful & very informative. I didn't actually end up buying from Kite Country because logistics were tough and in a time crunch, but would for sure recommend them based on my brief but ultra helpful phone conversation! Thank you! read more

We were visiting San Diego and left our kite from home. My husband found this place. I didn't want to spend a lot of money on a new kite since I'm not sure if we will be bringing it home. The proprietor recommended a few kites under our budget and a few just over our budget ($20). We got one that was rainbow and less than $10. It flew great and my kids had a great time with it until they tried to bury it in the sand on the beach and it flew away from us! It was a fun afternoon of kite flying and glad we spent less read more
