McCovey Cove Kiter

[victor]

was listening to the am radio broadcast of the world series last night and the announcer mentioned a "parasailer" going by the entrance to the cove.

the discussion that followed sounded like he might have meant "kite boarder"

did anyone at the game see it?

They just can't figure out what we are called can they? Maybe next World Series they will get it right. Yes that was us. John Von Tesmar of Kite The Bay was riding on Saturday and i was driving the boat and Friday i was on the water.
Epics fun!! GO Giants!!!!

Wow, that was a session to remember! It was crazy when that 5 minute downpour happened too! Erin and I left the dock at Treasure Island just after the game started. We drove along the south side of the Bay Bridge and at 3/4 of the way across, we rigged up. The drift launch on the 13m went quick and as soon as the kite was in the air, I was in the water. Erin tossed me the foil board off the bow of the Windseeker and I started working upwind towards the cove. It was the 2nd time kiting up that close into the cove so I was familiar with the reaches and on the lookout for wind blocks. I could have gone more upwind but thought this was good enough. I kept passing the Coast Guard boat and the crew was rootin me on! No rescue necessary- Thank you Erin (and Maria) for driving the boat and picking me up after!

Afterwards, the party in the cove was great! Go Giants!
