Let me point out that you didn’t ask for a “universal exercise sport”. You asked for what kind of fun sport do “high-brow people e.g. Bay Area” do and kite-surfing is a valid answer to this question.
As a low-investment alternative, try parkour? :-)
This sounds good, actually. Is it popular there?
It’s an urban youth sport with a strong counterculture vibe. Not very beloved by authorities and property owners :-/
A bigger problem is that you’re guaranteed cuts and bruises, with broken bones not a particularly unlikely outcome.
