Pinky’s Kite Factory

A fun find. Not only did we come away with the perfect kite, we had made a friend. Small kites, huge kites, beautiful kites. My daughter picked out the perfect butterfly kite. It is a great stop before you hit the beach.

Great selection of kites. Broke one of the carbon fiber rods on the box kite I bought. Brought kite back and the shop owner was able to come up with a replacement part.
Very knowledgeable about kites.
Worth going back to buy another kite.

Great funny little place. A little sketchy but after all sometimes those are the best places. I had called ahead of time to find out the hours because I had heard in other reviews that the hours were very hit or miss. The gentleman said if there were no customers he left.
«I’ve had two customers in the last six hours. If this keeps up, I’m just going to go. But we open every day at 9:30.»
So that in mind we showed up around 11:30-noonish and he was open.
Pros: Small little place — very helpful. Felt like be wasn’t trying to get money out of you. We didn’t know what kind of kite we needed for today and with the wind — we said we have no idea what we want, what do you think?
He walked us through which kites would be best for today with the wind that we had and how to fly it. He even switched out the string for us at no extra cost.
Cons: obviously the hours are not consistent but it opens every morning sounds like.
But it was a great experience and we got our kite!

This kite store has such selection and amazing prices! The owner is super friendly and taught me more about kites in five minutes than I ever knew!

The interior is pretty dumpy, and the hours are unpredictable. But there’s a huge selection of kites, and the prices are great. Best of all — the staff is ridiculously helpful — they explained how to use the kite, checked that the package had everything it needed (they even through in a non-​tangle spinner for free), and gave us some patch tape for a kite we had at home.
