After reviewing the iWindsurf.com weather forecast, I determined that the best
place for wind on Saturday would be Crissy Field
or Treasure Island.
I decided to drive to Crissy Field, which was closer and more convenient. When I arrived around 13:30, the wind was just picking up. Windsurf's station at Anita Rock was reporting 14-15 knots. When I looked at the other foilers, I saw them rig from 4.5m to 6.0m sails. I decided to rig my Ezzy Elite 5.7m sail and my Fanatic Freewave STB 105-liter board.
Crissy Field had a lot of boat traffic, as I saw numerous boat races. It looked very crowded.
When I was finally ready to sail, the wind dropped suddenly, and I waited a bit for it to pick up before launching. I finally started flowing at 15:15 (much later than expected). The first 100 yards were prolonged, but the wind and waves began to pick up as I neared the center of the Golden Gate Bridge. I had a fantastic windsurfing session with many nice jumps off large rolling swells.
Here is a GoPro Hero7 Black video recorded during a part of my windsurfing session:
On Sunday, June 23, I enjoyed another windsurfing session at Crissy Field. For example, on Saturday, I used my Fanatic Freewave STB 105-liter board and my Ezzy Elite 5.7m sail. The wind was light near the shore and picked up near the center of the Golden Gate Bridge.
I used my Apple Watch Series 3 to record my sailing. My maximum speed was 20 knots in the heavy Crissy chop.
My Relive also generated a video showing my sailing:
