More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The bay gives up its surface like a runway — glassy in the morning, a little ruffled by afternoon breeze — and the LIFT eFoil lifts you above it. You meet on the east side of Mission Bay, where a small patch of sand and pavement will be your classroom; helmets and radio intercoms make the instructor’s voice as close as a whisper in your ear as you learn to read speed and balance.

History
Mission Bay Park was heavily reshaped in the mid-20th century from tidal marshes into a recreational basin, creating the sheltered water playground used today.
Conservation
Stay within marked launch areas, use reef-safe sunscreen, and avoid disturbing wildlife; shallow seagrass beds recover slowly from trampling and prop wash.
