Ok. here's my final post on this subject.
Thanks to everyone who participated. There was lots of interest in having more than one swap meet at Crissy field per year. They definitely need to be in the early morning because of the general public crowds and parking issues.
Any thoughts and preferred date?
enjoy this short video from the swap.

| Wow! Amazing video! Having been only to the RVWA swap on Sherman Island the last few years, I didn't realize people actually sold stuff from this century.

This was really great. The video is cool but doesn't really do the swap meet justice, as it was MUCH bigger than that when I was there in the morning (9-11, must have been about 70 sellers or so). Definitely a majority of recent (this century) great equipment, and not that much junk. Some very good finds!
I like the idea of one big swap meet there a year, at the beginning of the season, keeps it big and forces everybody to go to that one, you snooze you lose.
Thanks streetsailing for coordinating all this!

I had an excellent time, big thanks to all - can't wait to try out the new mast.
It would be cool to see this more than once a year, I would certainly attend.

Thanks for putting together the swap and video.
Both were fun. It was great to walk around and say hi to everyone!
My kids liked your cookies and street sailing boards.
My daughter turns 10 the 8th and was bugging me for a streesailing rig
or a skateboard. I got her a skateboard to start off with. We'll see how she
progresses with that. My brother watched some you tube street sailing videos and now he is interested. Maybe he'll get hooked!
Another swap in late August or September would be fun!

The Sign on Sherman Island has an annual swap in late May I believe.
I always plan to go but end up missing it do to the ADD I develop when it is windy.

| Jean-Lets do another one in early June on an ebb weekend. Truthfully with the lack of wind early this season, windsurfing is still not really on people's radar. Maybe we can do a separate one at 8pm for the kiter who was complaining about getting up before noon.
