A beautiful day at Crissy Field! Started rigging my 5.7/9' nonose,
when it really kicked in at 3:00pm. Switched to my 5.0 and a borrowed
BIC Tempo, and went out for a amazing session. I was getting
overpowered on the Sausalito side and the swells were huge up by the
bridge. The ebb tide was very strong, sailing down wind was very
powered! I had to broad reach constantly to stay close to where I
launched from. With my 5.0, I felt a bit of a wind shadow for 2 AR's*,
but was able to schlog and catch some puffs into the beach. I had to
leave at 5:00pm, just as it filled in all the way to the beach! An
excellent day at Crissy!

~Jim
