San Francisco Bay has a rich history of windsurfing. From the earliest days of the sport's invention, world championship events have gravitated to San Francisco Bay due to it's predictable and consistent high winds (though sheltered lower wind conditions are available for junior events if that is desired). With the proximity of O'Neill wetsuits, the 1980's saw many stops in San Francisco Bay for the Marui/O'Neill World Cup. Micah Buzianis, Sam Ireland, Jimmy Diaz, Robby Naish, Phil McGain, Nevin Sayre, Anders Bringdal, Stephen van den Berg, Robert Teriitehau and many other international sailors have graced our waters in past competitions.
