ABOUT US Rebecca and I quit our jobs back in 2002 to run the school in Alameda. After teaching all summer, we knew we had found our true passion - hanging out at the beach! In 2006 we bought the school from the original "Boardsports". In 2007 we expanded to a 2nd San Mateo location, the former home of ASD Windsurfing. We offer kitesurfing, windsurfing, and sup lessons, rentals, and retail gear in the San Francisco Bay Area. Our goal is to help everyone get out on the water more and have a blast!
