Dog, That's better than cool, in fact, words can't really describe how "neat" that shot is. It reminds me of one of the videos I watched many years ago (title forgotten of course) when three or four sailors are doing some serious chop hopping and then they all take off and get some serious airtime on the same wave crest.

The two buoys form the start-finish line for the Friday Night racing series at the St Francis Yacht Club in San Francisco. I used to "race" in those before injuring my back.
I'm still rehab'ing and photos like that are almost enough to get me out there ahead of time. Sigh...

Yeah... If I were in that pic, I'd definitely be the guy with the blue sail. Last time I went to a race, it blew 30+ so I blew off racing to have some fun. I think Charles has forgiven me.... But I really don't care.

It's no wonder that Sailing Anarchy uses your photos, they are great! That sure looks like some fun sailing.
