This afternoon, I popped over to the Berkeley Yacht Club to catch their club race that for the first time included the windsurfing fleet. Here’s Mike Percey heading out for the start of the race. Check out the recap on Waterhound.

Windsurfing at Crissy Field
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.

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.

Photos published in Windsport magazine
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.
The first is just inside the front cover, a two-page Dakine ad, is a shot of a big forward loop with the San Francisco skyline in the background. The second is a two-page spread within the exposure section with the Palace of Fine Arts in the background.

US Windsurfing Nationals photos finalized
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.
