The new issue of Windsport Magazine arrived today and a few of my pictures made the cut. The first is a 2 page spread of Phil McGain crossing the finish line in first place during a race at the 2010 US Windsurfing Nationals. The photo captured John Craig shooting the finishing gun just as Phil crosses the line. Aerotech also ran an ad featuring some of my photos of David Wells.
With the shortest day of the year only just behind us, windsurfing season in San Francisco seems like a long way off. The launch of the new Aerotech website was a reminder to the contrary. The site announces several new sails for 2011 and features a bunch of photos I shot of Bay Area sailors David Wells and Jean Rathle.
One of my windsurfing photos of Whit Poor got published in the Wipeout section of the Fall issue of Wend Magazine. Here’s a screenshot of the layout.
Today was a great day on Maui although that is probably a statement that is often repeated. In an effort to squeeze in some more photo time before heading home, I went to Hookipa for the afternoon. The swell and wind were both up from Tuesday and more sailors were on the water to take advantage.
The star of the day was US1113 – Bernd Roediger whose youthful energy caught him at least twice as many waves as everyone else. Click through on any of the photos below to see the whole gallery.
After a summer of cold San Francisco fog, it was time to escape to somewhere warmer, Maui. The conditions at Hookipa were far from epic, but were a nice change from the cold of Crissy Field. I sat up on the cliff and watched as the sailors waited outside for the right combo of wind and waves before making their ride in. Click on any of the pics below to see the full gallery.
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.
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.

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.
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 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.
