From the beginning, we've viewed kites as the fine art of enjoying the wind. Into The Wind was founded in 1980 by architects, George Emmons and Jim Glass. For years they were Into The Wind. They would test fly and photograph the kites, produce the catalog, take and ship mail orders and operate the store 7 days a week. In their spare time they designed and made several kites, which still appear in the catalog. Over the years Into The Wind has grown into a group of around 20 folks who enjoy making our living by helping other people enjoy the wind. Most recently we moved our mail order offices and shipping upstairs to the former Rocky Mountain Joe's Cafe space. Besides giving us room to increase our mail order selection, it enabled us to nearly double the size of our retail store. For the first time in years, we have space for (nearly ) all of our kites and for lots of new toys. If you're ever in Colorado, come see how we've grown.
