On The Waterfront: Martinez Photos Of The Week

MARTINEZ, CA – The marina in Martinez was alive with kite-surfers on the last weekend in July, captured on film by Patch reader jjsmaria.

What a great way to spend a day, and if you would like to give the water sport a try, there are several companies in the East Bay and nearby that offer lessons, including:

• Benicia Kite and Paddle Sports /Kite Naked;
• The Kite Bar in Pittsburg;
• Kite415 – The Kiteboarding School of the Peninsula in San Francisco;
• and Boardsports California in Alameda.

Thanks for sharing your photos, jjsmaria. Lovely!

If you have a photo of nature, breath-taking scenery, kids caught being kids, a pet doing something funny or something unusual you happen to catch with your camera, we'd love to feature it on Patch.

We're looking for high-resolution images that reflect Northern California, and that show off your unique talents. Post it for free in our bulletin board section on the site, or email it to autumn.johnson@patch.com.
