Besides online, where are places I can buy nice kites in northern california.?

Answer 1

If your in or near Sacramento..there are some really awesome kite shops in Old town Sacramento! (Near downtown)

Answer 2

Don't know about Cal, but I know I have had the best experience with Trilby brand kites. You can add on more kites to fly as many as you want in a linked group. They're really cool & easy to fly & do tricks with. I've flown 12 at once, had trouble staying on the ground. It's a blast. Have fun.
