With a strong wind forecast (20-30 kts) from iwindsurf.com, I was anticipating epic conditions at Crissy Field.
I loaded up the Tesla Model Y with all my gear and started our drive to San Francisco around 11:00, arriving at Crissy Field at 12:40.
After finding a nice place to park (with a lawn nearby for assembling the foil and wing), we strolled to Chestnut Street for lunch. We stopped by our favorite Cracked & Battered eatery, and it wasn't as busy as usual, so we only waited a few minutes to get seated.
After sitting down outside (on barstools), we ordered the following items:
- Boris: fried chicken & waffle, coffee
- Inna: 3 pieces of fried chicken, 2 eggs over easy, coffee
The chicken was amazing, and the waffle was also fantastic. Inna generously gave me an extra piece of chicken, as I was extra hungry.
After lunch, I walked back to Crissy Field, while Inna went to explore the shops around Fillmore.
I rigged the following wing foiling gear:
- Duotone Slick SLS 4.0 wing
- Armstrong 1250cm front foil
- Naish Hover LE Carbon Ultra 95-liter
- Dakine harness
- GoPro Hero 11 Black Mini cam
I had a wonderful two-hour session, blasting along. The wind was up and down, quite gusty, and the ebbing tide was strong. Although I had an exciting day, I should have rigged my Duotone 5.0m wing (in retrospect)
Here is a GoPro Hero 11 Black mini video of my two-hour session:
I finished around 17:00, de-rigged, and loaded the gear back in the Tesla Model Y. I messaged Inna, who was strolling around Fillmore, and came to pick her up. We drove to Ghirardelli Square, where we spent a few hours before dining at the famous Gary Danko restaurant.
