Meet HQ Kites

 Salsa II Stunt kiteWe spend a great deal of time looking for great kites and accessories for our customers.   Our goal is to find those kites that are great looking and engaging visually but also are good flyers!  How many of us have been frustrated to go and try to fly a kite that looks cool in the store but doesn't fly well? This is no way to spend leisure time especially with our children.  We also spend a a lot of time getting to know the manufacturer.  We are interested in their customer service.  Quite frankly, if they treat us well, do what they say they are going to do and stand behind their products with concrete action (having a flash back to a scene in the Chris Farley movie Tommy Boy when they are talking about "a guarantee on the box") - these are all good indicators of the quality of their products.   We have the pleasure of dealing with several of these kinds of Kite manufactures and we wanted to introduce you to one of our favorites HQ Kites.

We have been working with HQ Kites for many years now and hands down they are in the top 3 kite manufacturers for quality, product support and innovation.  Add to this outstanding dealer / customer support.  Professional from the word "go", HQ strives with all their products; from Windspiration™ lawn and garden spinners, to HQ Powerkites, Stunt kites and other fun and engaging outdoor toys, to appeal to people who value quality, color and beauty.
