Hello all,
I'm with the Wavechaser Paddle Series here in SF Bay Area. On August 21st, 2010, we are hosting the US Surfski Championships here in the San Francisco Bay. This will be our 9th year and we are looking to find some extra safety boats. This race will have some of the best kayak paddlers in the World here. Paddlers from South Africa, Australia, Spain, New Zealand, Tahiti, etc.

The course starts at Fort Baker, runs out the Golden Gate to the navigation bouy just past Point Bonita. The racers will turn there and head back towards Angel Island and finish at Berkeley Marina. Aprox 16 miles.
We host similar races at the same local and have dealt with extreme winds, tides and swell.
We can offer to pay for gas, provide race shirts and BBQ at the finish of the race. I'm posting here on this forum as most of our safety boats are Boston Whalers. We're hoping to get another 4-5 Boston Whalers, preferably 20'+.
If you are interested, please drop me an email at mikem@wavechaser.com Basic race info can be found at www.ussurfski.com
Thanks for your help!
Mike M

Just another shout out looking for a couple more boats for Safety at our event. August 21st? If you have some extra time and can provide a safety boat, we would really appreciate it.
Many thanks,
Mike
