Saturday brought a great combo of wind and sun to Crissy Field. After hot weather earlier in the week, the fog was back just enough to get the wind pumping. Here are a few of the action shots. Click on the photos below to go to the full gallery.
Body Drag (and wipeout)

Take a sneak peek at the upcoming issue of Windsurfing Magazine. They’ve expanded their format and they’ve got one of my photos of Wyatt Miller. This one is part of the Bay Days feature about windsurfing in San Francisco.
I was up on top of Fort Point working on another project and happen to get this shot just as the sun was reflecting off the inside of the lighthouse.
Today is Steve’s birthday so I thought I would pull a few photos out of the archive. Check out the 162 photos of Steve I’ve amassed over the years. And don’t forget to visit Steve’s blog. Happy birthday!
The Australian 18 skiffs are in San Francisco this week for a regatta. They kicked off the competition today and will be racing through Thursday including a big downwinder against the kitesurfers and windsurfers. Don’t miss it.
The newest issue of Windsport magazine has just hit mailboxes and newsstands across the country and it’s got two of my photos inside. Both photos are of Naish teamrider, Wyatt Miller. We shot the photos back on May 23rd.
Even after a week of solid racing, a group of formula windsurfers took to the water today for some training. Steve Sylvester and Xavier Ferlet sailed from Berkeley to Crissy Field to meet up with Steve Bodner, Soheil Zahedi, and Aurelien le Matayer. Here are a few overhead shots of their session.

After reviewing the thousands of photos I shot over all five days of the event, I’ve selected more than 500 images worthy of posting to the US Windsurfing Nationals photo gallery. It takes more time in front of the computer that it originally did to shoot all the photos. The photos are all categorized by sailors’ names, sail numbers, sail manufacturer, day, event type (formula, slalom, long distance, freestyle, juniors). Look under the photos for the list of keywords. Clicking on any of the keywords will filter the images that are displayed.
I have tons more photos so if you don’t see what you are looking for, please email me and I will go back and look through my archive.
UPDATE: the nationals are complete and I’ve amassed thousands of photos. Some of them have been loaded to the gallery, with more to come. Stay tuned for the final set. If you provide me with your email address I can notify you when the gallery is complete. Thanks for all the great racing action!
Long distance and slalom racing were the order of the day today. I hiked up to the Golden Gate Bridge to get an overhead view of the race. Phil McGain (KA7) was fastest on the trip down to Treasure Island and back and finished in first place.
