Although I think they only sell Greens kites. They aren't a proper kite shop so you are unlikely to get good advice from them. Mushy Pea near the Arndale centre sell flexifoil's kites, powerhouse kites and they also have a rev 1.5 (which has been there ages). Unfortunately like the Manchester Model shop they don't appear to know much about kites, so ask here for advice. The Max Out windsurfing shop in Altrincham sells powerhouse kites. Further afield you could try the Leading Edge in Leeds. Its about 60 miles away, but definitely worth a visit. They sell all Fizz kites including the Phantom Elite and the Box of Tricks. They can also get hold of most other stuff if you want. Leeds Kites also in Leeds unsuprisingly. More of a mail order business than a shop. Air FX in Blackpool. Steve the owner is seriously into buggying. Cannock Kites in Staffordshire, just North of Birmingham. Lastly Tradewinds in Reading. Richard Marsh does a good mail order service and I recommend him highly. Most of these addresses should be in FAQ on our FTP site.

Only seem to sell Greens kites, but they did have bits and pieces (ripstop, swivels, arrow-nocks etc) last time I was in. Seemed a bit pot-luck, I guess they just got a box of 'kite stuff' from Greens...? I had heard that Greens were going to start a 'factory shop' in Burnley (at the factory :).
