"As a surfer who's taken a few basic land & body dragging lessons a few years ago in Alameda & Kailua (2002 & 2004), I didn't get hooked into kiteboarding until NOW.  I have to say, learning is way more efficient  in the middle of the SF Bay with an instructor on a personal water craft.  --  no more running up & down the beach, less time to waste with kite re-launches, and fewer souls in the water for interference.  The new,  flatter kite designs today allow way more control.  Plus the 10-15 minute ride out into the SF bay & back (with the occasional sailboat nearby or SFO airplane overhead) also is a fun bonus.  I had a blast in my recent two sessions (land clinic, body dragging & board clinic), and ready for more time on the water with instructors, Jeff Kafka and hot-dog pro Mark Doyle." - monica lee, zuna surf
