In sailing two kite events have been added to the programme, windsurfer – iQFoil and kiteboarding.

Richard Hallman, a professional photographer based in Oregon, said he got to know N’jai over the last decade when N’jai routinely visited for kiteboarding competitions or trips.

He said N’jai was also big into “kitefoiling” — or kiteboarding with the addition of a hydrofoil under the board, which lifts the board out of the water.

“This is one right in the Bay Area — it’s in a great location and has great wind for kiteboarding. The scenery is beautiful. You have views of the hills and the water and the flowers that come with the marshland. It’s a very pretty piece of property.”

Originally home to duck and kiteboarding clubs, the island is being marketed as a “great escape for sports gatherings or corporate events” sitting just east of the Carquinez Strait near the San Francisco Bay’s border with the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta, according to the real estate listing.
