2008 US Surfski Championships

The 2008 US Surfski Championships will be staged from Crissy Field in San Francisco, Sept 20-21. Crissy Field is located just inside the Golden Gate Bridge on the South side. This location offers spectacular views of the Golden Gate Bridge and Alcatraz Island, a large sandy beach for launching surfskis, easy viewing opportunities for spectators, and parking on site.

The popular Friday demo day with clinics is back again at Fort Baker (north end of the Golden Gate Bridge). New for 2008 is the Friday night party with race packet pickup at the Sports Basement’s Presidio store. As in past years, the single surfski race is Saturday and the double surfski race is Sunday. The 4 x 2 kilometer Alcatraz Breakout Relay was introduced in 2007 and was a big hit. It returns in 2008, and will again be on Sunday after the double surfski race. Food and drinks will be served and prizes handed out on location after each event.

Live coverage of the race will be presented by www.surfski.info. Visit www.surfski.info to read more about the history of the US Surfski Champs and who to watch out for this year.
