Kitesurfing at the Golden Gate

Kitesurfing in San Francisco Bay.

On weekends, the waters around the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco are popular for a variety of water sports, including kitesurfing, seen here. Kitesurfing is an extreme sport that uses a large "power kite" and a special surfboard. The kitesurfers are able to fly above the water and do flips.

In the picture, the kite appears to be higher than the Golden Gate Bridge, though of course it is not. This shot was taken at San Francisco's Ocean Beach, a great spot to get a close-up view of the bridge. Here, you can also watch kitesurfers, windsurfers, and a variety of sailboats and yachts.
