Orange Severne 9.0 sails?
They were in Berkeley last week, mostly dusted in Sat races in winds 12-20, up in Gorge this week. IQ class?

Hi Gang,
Reports from people on site are that it was the Olympic Windsurfing Team practicing.

Very cool.
Is there a published calendar of events and/or do you know when/where they will be in SF?

9.0 sails, 177 liter boards, add foil= 70% of the fleet exploding.
Crissy would work only if it's fogged in.

9.0 in 25 plus is just terrifying. There may be athletes who can handle it, but fast?
