Belmont Shore

Long Beach, CA — Southern California Coast

Wing Foil America's first Long Beach / Los Angeles–Orange County entry. Off The Hook Kiteboarding, owned by Jesse McCourt, teaches wing foiling at Belmont Shore — a private-lesson progression starting with wing handling on the beach, then water entry, kneeling, and standing, with advanced coaching on water starts, jibes, tacks, and jumps. Lessons use two-way radio helmets for on-the-water coaching.
