Do you ever see colorful kites dotting the beautiful bay as you cross the Golden Gate Bridge? There is likely to be a person on small board underneath that kite. Kite boarding is one of the hottest new sports. The St. Francis Yacht Club hosted the first ever US Kite Course Racing Nationals here in San Francisco in July.
I have seen a lot of this sport recently…I guess I could officially call my husband a kite boarder.  He has become a regular at 3rd Avenue in San Mateo – this is one of the hottest kite boarding sites around the Bay and it is quite a sight to see! For those of you seeking a little adventure, be sure to take some lessons first- the sport can be dangerous for newbies.
