About us

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. For years, we've called Boulder's Pearl Street Mall home. We operate our catalog and wholesale services out of the same building as our store front. If you're ever in Colorado, come see how we've grown.
