Sunset Sailboards San Francisco

Fun little day enjoying the wind at Ocean Beach.  The wind was light onshore at about 10 knots, and I used a Simmer Blacktip 4.8 on an excellent board that I won at a raffle at the US Windsurfing National Championship in 2010.  A negative tide works best as the wind is a little bit cross-onshore, so you need a little bit more hardpack sand beach to get going and give you more angles to work with.  This day was about a +1ft tide, and the hardpack was pretty narrow... starboard tack was a few degrees off the wind and you could go as fast as you wanted (a few speed wobbles at times), but coming back up the beach on port was a little more difficult with an angle into the wind.  Waiting for the next low tide day with some wind!
