Boardsports School in Alameda

Tuesday, May 15th, 2007
I met up with Rebecca at the Boardsports School in Alameda to shoot some photos for her upcoming how-to article for Windsurfing Magazine. After the photo shoot, Rebecca got me set up with one of their rigs and we went out for a little windsurfing. It wasn’t the windiest day ever, but lots of fun. boardsports school

Windsurfing at Candlestick Park

Sunday, May 13th, 2007

For a little variety, I went to check out the scene there. One guy was sailing without a wetsuit, something you don’t see too often when it’s 60 degrees with cold water and lots of wind. I also got a few shots of some good freestyle moves.

View from the bridge

Saturday, May 12th, 2007

Today I headed up onto the Golden Gate Bridge to try to get a view different from the normal stand-on-the-beach. It was so windy up there I felt like I was going to get blown over the edge.

After that, I headed back down to Crissy Field to get a few shots. Here’s Soheil Zahedi and Jean Rathle on their small gear.

2007 Elvstrom Zellerbach Regatta

Saturday, May 5th, 2007

St. Francis Yacht club hosted its annual Elvstrom Zellerbach Regatta today. I hitched a ride on one of the race committee boats and got some good shots. Classes included 29ers, Finns, formula windsurfing, and Laser. The wind was light and variable, making for some challenging racing. Check out the photos…
