Our story
A shed, a slope and a lot of broken spars.
Kitely started in 2021 as a weekend repair service for friends whose kites had come off worse in an argument with the wind. Within a year the shed was full of other people's kites, and we'd started to notice which ones kept coming back and which ones never did.
What we sell, and why
We stock a short list on purpose. Every design has spent at least a season being flown, crashed and flown again on our local slopes before it goes on sale. If a kite needs a gale to get going, or folds the first time it meets a gust, it doesn't make the cut.
Mended, not binned
Kites break. It's part of the fun. If one of ours does, send it back and we'll repair it at the cost of the parts for as long as you own it. Most repairs are back in the post within a week.
Small on purpose
There are two of us. We pack every order ourselves, answer every email ourselves and fly far more than is strictly necessary for business purposes. If you're ever on the north Kent coast on a breezy Sunday, look up. One of the kites is probably ours.
