Hey everyone,
I'm looking for a place to get lessons from here in the bay.
Previously I did a beach/water dragging day long lesson, and have been practicing with a training kite. Looks like there are several schools offering lessons in the area. Does anyone have recommendations?
Thanks,
-Bill

I got schooled at Wind Over Water in Burlingame. I was fortunate to have the famous Jeff Kafka as my personal instructor. He runs a solid outfit!

If you're open to it, I'd say consider taking a lesson at Sherman Isle with Edge Kiteboarding or Kitopia. Both are reputable outfitters and you can't find a better place for wind, water temps, and vibe. Everyone I know that has taken lessons at Sherman has progressed the fastest due to the amazing conditions and excellent teachers.

I got some great lessons from Boardsports. They teach in Alameda and San Mateo: https://boardsportscalifornia.com/kiteb ... eginner-2/

+1 for Kitopia and Edge. I've taken lessons from both outfits, and both were excellent.

Thanks!
I am going to try out Wind Over Water this weekend and hope to get flying soon!
Kitopia and Edge was a bit farther out, WOW was the closest to me. Soon I will have to begin researching gear...
