2007 Bridge to Bridge Race

Friday, August 24th, 2007

It’s that time of year again. The Australian 18’s are in town for a regatta and to challenge the local windsurfers and kitesurfers in an all-out downwind race from the Golden Gate Bridge to the Bay Bridge. I headed down to get some shots of the start of the race. Here’s a shot of the start of the race.

Final Day of US Windsurfing Nationals racing

Saturday, August 11th, 2007

The wind was up today for the final day of racing for this year’s US Windsurfing Nationals. With gusts to 30+ the juniors and RSX fleet made for the beach after one race. After a few minutes on the beach to regroup, the formula fleet headed out for one more race. I think everyone will sleep well tonight. Thanks to Christian for driving me around in the boat.
