Sandy and Donny, owners of Delta based Kitopia kitesurfing school, teamed up with Boardsports School and Shop to offer an intro to riding a surf board clinic. Turn out was fantastic, we had 20 people join the clinic! The focus was to get first timers up and riding on a surfboard, but also included how to jibe and tack a surfboard.

Bruce came out to show us the full 2013 lineup of bamboo F-One surf boards
We have a full line of directionals in our demo fleet, including Naish, Nobile, North, F-One, and Jimmy Lewis. You can rent/demo these boards at our Alameda or San Mateo locations. We have a fully stocked retail shop with new boards too!
Donny teaches attendees how to ride a directional surf style kiteboard
Attendees watch Donny make it all look too easy
Donny's jibes, tacks, and roll tacks were all butter smooth. He's my inspiration!
We had light wind, but enough to demonstrate the key skills and get everyone on the water
After the clinic we enjoyed burgers and beers til the park closed! Thank you Sandy and Donny for teaching an awesome clinic!
