San Francisco Windsurfing Travel Tips

By Ludmilla Alexander

  • Launch at Crissy Field, an urban bayside park.

  • Bundle up in a full wetsuit year-round.
  • Watch for sailboats, cargo tankers, and an occasional aircraft carrier.

  • We have several hours (10am-3pm) in San Francisco with 5 & 8 y.o. daughters next week. We'll be on our way to Sausalito from visiting in the Bay Area having come from Washington DC. Any suggestions about how to see what in the most efficient manner? If a tour makes sense, is there one best for little kids?
