Sailing into the Wind, or Faster than the Wind

I thought kitesurfing was the new geek trend. Read a bunch of articles about a bunch of Google bigwigs taking that up a couple years ago. I'm still too chicken to try it, alas.

Where do people go for sailing class in SF? I sailed in college and am looking to pick it up again...

Skiff sailing is the new trend ! Small, fast and fun boats, that's the future :)

I'd love to get into that, but given that my only sailing experience is 420s and FJs on a lake that never had any wind, I think I should probably start with something a little less hard to handle. ;-) Know of any dinghy sailing schools in the South Bay?

I live in France, so... I don't have any idea :)
