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.
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. Click on the photos below to go to the full gallery.
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.
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.
The second day of racing brought more foggy weather, but wind enough to get in three races.
After a full day on the water and 4 races, I’ve racked up a lot of photos. The upload process has started so check out the windsurfing photos posted so far. Here are a couple to entice you…
See you on the water tomorrow!
On the water shooting windsurfing nationals regatta photos. Upload coming later today…
More than 150 boats joined in this year’s Sperry Topsider NOOD regatta in San Francisco this past weekend including my favorites, the F18 catamarans. With 20 entrants, the 18 foot catamarans were one of the largest classes in attendance. Click on any of the pictures below to see more regatta photos.
