Today, after checking the wind forecast (promising 15-26 knots of wind), I
decided to start my windsurfing season at
Coyote Point, near San Francisco Airport.
When I arrived around 2:30 p.m., the wind was up, but hardly anyone was there. I started to rig my gear: an Ezzy 5.4m Transformer sail with a Mistral Flow 276 board. A bit later, a few kitesurfers launched and were doing well.
I wanted to record my session with my GoPro Hero 3 Black Edition, but it reported an SD-card error with its 64GB SanDisk card, so I could not record. What a disappointment!
The wind died after I launched around 3:20 p.m., and I had to swim back to shore. I considered calling it a day, but then the wind picked up. It started blowing so hard that all of the kite surfers left.

A few windsurfers on small boards went out, and they were doing well. I decided to give it another go and launched. The wind was strong, and the waves were more massive (3-5 feet). I got some nice jumps and had a great time surfing around. The wind started to pick up even more, and I was getting overpowered.
I decided to return to the shore and had an exhilarating ride on the waves. It was a blast!
