Friday 8 7 20 morning call

PLEASE don't congregate in groups of more than 10 people at the harbor (or any beach). The harbor inspectors have been checking out the wing crowd and there's rumors they might shut down the access for the public if it gets too crowded.

Another downwind run with the wing yesterday, this is a short clip that shows how intense it can be even on a day with not particularly strong wind.


These are my downwind buddies Tomoko and Art. She spent most of the time of the car ride on the phone with Gerry Lopez. Way to impress your friends sistah!


She also took some pictures in the middle of the run. Look at that gorgeousness, we're so lucky!
