San Francisco finally provided classic conditions with 25-30 knots of breeze and a stiff ebb table- providing racers at the 2007 US Windsurfing National Championships with a final day of course racing on the city front course.
congratulations steve! job well done and what an excellent way to finish up nationals...strong! even after a FULL day of slalom the day before...you are solid man!
nice picture of usa 34 (should be 314) getting air on the city front :-)
Congratulations indeed on that excellent result! The conditions were harsh on that last day, so it seems, and BEL29 was eating humble pie in the Bay because he was out of range with his sails. But nevertheless judging from all the coverage it must be a great place to surf. Hope you will have as much fun in NL + neighboring countries. Good luck!
Yes -for sure getting 1st in race 9 was a highlight for my regatta! Little Paul was on the beach when I came in and took a great photo capturing full emotion- Ill post it as asap. Seth always makes it interesting to race against. Harness bar disaster on last 2 legs of race 10 was indeed another lesson on how to stay calm in the face of disaster. The photo show me breathing a sigh of relief just to have finished.
humble pie- yes I remember my first 3 seasons in SF being like that. It was great Chris came to the event- Im sure he'll be a better sailor when he returns to Belgium later this year because of the super chicken and SF voodoo chop! Im looking forward to sailing in NL again (after sevreral years ago @ the spa regatta) and Im sure will be tasting some of the same humble pie in a foreign fleet.
Hey Ray- good to hear from you again. Im trying to focus on just 1 or 2 things at a time now with formula and slalom making the top of the list. Hopefully will see you down at the Formula Worlds this December in Brazil! Steve

Way to go. Good sailing, good reporting. It must have awesome to beat the nearly-invincible Seth Besse that one time.
Something is a little "funny" about that picture with the broken harness!

30 knots on a 9.0. That is mind boggling. Wow!
Hi Steve,
Good effort man. Are you still doing the RSX thing?
Catch up sometime.
Cheers Ray (NZL 0)
