Don't feed tourists: new video of shark attack near Crissy

[SHREDX]

I lived on the shoreline about a mile north of Grassy Point for 15 years and windsurfed Tomales Bay often. Many days there is no wind and the bay is like a lake - in all that time I never saw a dorsal fin ever, anywhere. Lots of bat rays though.

I"ve sailed Limantour maybe 40 days, never bothered to go up to Tuba, which is a 1.8 mile trudge upwind. I"ve surfed Tuba since 1973, so I do know it.
You go to Limantour when it's LOW tide, lower than 2.0, and swells bigger than 12', big NW clearing winds, and you surf sail in side off winds like Punta San Carlos, outside sandbar, endless bottom turn off the top combos, kick out in the green water before the little shorebreak (where a famed South African windsurfer was pinned under his sail in '95. ), and head out riding up to 30 waves in an hour and a half.
When the swell is smaller, or the tide higher, head for Palo. Palo is good earlier than Limantour, so it's doable.
If it goes NW by 10AM, go to Stinson until around 1PM, when it switches too Northerly to fill in.
Stinson wind direction is similar to Waddell, lots of jumps, full speed inside jibes, and backside wave riding and shove it's.
Palo is more sideshore, and mostly DTL sailing at the Rock, and on W swells, along the Point, so frontside bottom turn off the top combos.
Limantour is also frontside DTL sailing, and S reef, the South parking lot, can be just as good, only on low tides and huge outside swell predictions, leading to maybe head high waves IF you're lucky, which is logo high to windsurfers.
Tuba is straight offshore wind full speed jamming in front of a wave, or along the wave, with any waves in front blocking the wind from your use. Nothing like wave sailing, but fun speed sailing on a wave face. With a nearly 2 mile trudge upwind and often that much slog downwind.

Yeah, you're right.
SA was a door gunner for Rhodesia Air, side of a helicopter, and windsurfed in the northern SF area only around here.
Most oldsters from the late '80's thru the mid '90's who sailed Larkspur, Rod$Gun, and Tomales knew him.
