The St. Francis Yacht Club in San Francisco has finally thrown its considerable clout behind the emerging sport of Kite Surfing, according to www.marinij.com.
In front of the club on Marin Green, former surfers can be seen riding their kite-powered boards, launching themselves 30 to 40 fleet in the air, doing mid-air flips and spins, landing it and riding away.
On July 25-29, St. Francis will host the first U.S. Nationals for Kite Course Racing, crowning the first national champion. A big-air wind jam with kiters jumping off a ramp in the bay in front of spectators will run concurrently.
