About Boston

Pleasure Bay near Boston offers protected flat-water conditions ideal for progression and freestyle tricks. The lagoon is best kiteable with SW, S, or SE winds. Spring and fall deliver stronger winds suitable for big air, while summer provides lighter thermal conditions. Cold Atlantic temperatures require a wetsuit year-round. The spot handles moderate winds (up to 25 knots) with variable quality, and lies just 10 minutes from Logan Airport, though the area experiences heavy boat traffic and high costs typical of the region.
