You don't need to go far from Atlantic City's balmy, breezy beaches to find the best place on the mid-Atlantic coast for windsurfing and kitesurfing. The center of it all is Extreme Windsurfing, which includes a school and a "demo center" where you can "try before you buy".
Situated on one of the top ten most consistently windy sites Lakes Bay, Extreme Windsurfing features a sandy beach, shallow water with no current or boat traffic, a 300-foot deck, snack bar, on-site storage lockers, and full service shop.
