Wyatt Miller freestyle windsurfing clinic
I got to Crissy Field just as Wyatt Miller was finishing up with his freestyle windsurfing clinic. He and his students were out on the water working on some of their moves.
Check out Wyatt’s site to find when and were he’ll be hosting his next clinic.

Sunday windsurfing on the bay
I grabbed a boat for a couple hours this afternoon to get a different perspective on the windsurfers at Crissy Field. Instead of shooting from shore as I do most often, I headed outside of the Golden Gate to get a view back toward Crissy Field and the City. It’s not often that all the factors line up – wind, swell, sun, boat, sailors. Today was one of those days.
While most of the sailors stayed farther downwind, there were a few brave sailors that were riding the waves at Fort Point or outside The Gate.
Here’s a shot of Wyatt Miller navigating the big swell and big traffic and one of him mid-trick. Click on the photos below or on this link to see all the windsurfing photos.
Back closer to the beach, there was still more traffic to contend with. Drifting through the buzz of windsurfers was a bit like standing in the middle of the freeway during rush hour, non-stop action.

Quick session at Crissy Field
It’s not all that often that the forecast at Crissy Field calls for warmth, sun, and wind but today was one of those days. Unfortunately we didn’t get them all at once. After waiting on the wind for the better part of the afternoon a bit finally materialized, but it didn’t stick around long. Wyatt Miller, Tyson Poor, and a number of other sailors were able to get in a quick session.
As the wind started dying, everyone made a dash for the beach.
Here’s to hoping for more tomorrow.

First ever kiteboard course racing world championship
Yesterday marked the conclusion of the first ever kiteboard course racing world championship. After countless hours of work translating sailing rules to fit the kite racing style, building specialized boards to go high upwind and deep downwind, and gathering the best sailors from around the world, the St. Francis Yacht Club put on a great event. The beach at Crissy Field was covered with kites and spectators.

Gusty winds at Crissy Field
Wow, today was windy but the problem was it was also very gusty. Several sailors, including Derek Lueck, braved the gusts and made the best of it. Here’s a shot of Derek working on his freestyle.

Sunday at Crissy Field
Yesterday was an awesome day at Crissy Field. The sun was out all day long. The weather was warm. And most importantly, it was windy. Here’s a shot of a nice one-handed laydown jibe in front of the Golden Gate Bridge.
And here’s the Coast Guard bringing a couple sailors back in at the end of the day.
