Kiteboarding, Windsurfing and Stand Up Paddle Boarding
Started by two women who quit their corporate jobs to follow their passion for windsurfing, kiteboarding and stand up paddle boarding (SUP), Boardsports School & Shop is an invaluable resource for those who want to see what these sports are all about. They have exclusive teaching rights at Crown Beach Alameda and Coyote Point Park in San Mateo. Boardsports’ instructors are certified by the International Kiteboarding Organization and the Professional Air Sports Association.
Hiking Yoga
Hiking Yoga is exactly what it sounds like. Hikes originate under the clock tower at the Ferry Building and for the next 90 minutes, participants take advantage of San Francisco’s hilly and scenic terrain. It’s no leisurely stroll but a brisk space involving lots of stairs and hills punctuated by yoga poses, stretching and breathing. When the weather is nice, this beats any workout indoors. Drop-ins are $20 per session and cost per session decreases if you purchase more than one.
