Awesome instructors, customer service and an amazing beach to learn kitesurfing. My progress was swift and enjoyable. I especially like the focus on safety in the on-hands lessons. Make sure to ask for Adrian, and bring a wetsuit!

Great instructors who take the time to teach techniques and provide feedback. The location is ideal for learning boardsports of all types.

Bought my kiteboarding gear here. Dude sold me a kite that I've never been able to get to work right. Other more experienced kiters have had the same issue with it. Spent about $4000 on two full set ups.

These folks are the best! Had taken lessons elsewhere and decided it was time to get committed. It was about 2 1/2 months ago now, so I can’t recall the names of the fabulous people that helped me, but they spent all the time I needed to assemble a Full kite gear setup for me. Every piece of equipment was thought out what would be best for me and explained thoroughly. Never unnecessarily tried to upsell me, only ever encouraged. (For example, while choosing foot straps, I was given the choice of the cheaper or the pricier. In my head, I thought “eh, cheaper, beginner, better”. But I was so nicely shown by being allowed to slip my feet into both, to see the massive difference between basic starter straps and the next step up). After completing the purchase, they then took the time to run through a full rigging practice of my new gear. Every last piece! Can’t say enough good about these folks. I’ll surely be back.

Questions & Answers

Hi there. Is there a reason you guys don't have a jet ski rescue? Love that you guys are there and the spot, but it seems not safe if there is an emergency situation and someone has to be rescued fast. Thanks!

Too shallow and no dock. Also it is a matter of responsibility and how you look at it.

Hi, Do you have a specific windy season (I'm from the east coast)? What are the conditions, typically, in early August? What is water temp at that time of year? Thanks, Billy

April to Sept , lucky few windy days in Oct. Check out Boardsports webcam and their wind station charts. At Alameda, in May , August, not that cold. You may be even comfortable in shorty wetsuits. Other than that 4/3 never hurts.
