San Mateo: Learn How To Kiteboard

Kiteboarding combines surfing and kite-flying into adrenaline-pumping excitement. The nascent sport, which has risen to prominence over the last decade, is popular all over the Bay Area, but a favorite spot to catch a wave is Coyote Point Park in San Mateo. Here, thrill-seekers take a small surfboard-cum-wakeboard (roughly five feet long), attach a kite (kite size varies with the wind speeds), tether the two together with lines and, quite literally, take off. For those who wish to learn how to kiteboard, Boardsports School offers lessons and small classes on-site; for those who'd rather watch, there are ample park and beach areas to spread out and look skyward.
