SPRING 2025 NEWS AND HAPPENINGS

2025 is shaping up to be a massive year for Bay Area boardsports. We’re talking first-ever downwind SUP races from the Golden Gate Bridge to Berkeley, another killer King of the Cove big air event at Ocean Beach, the 5th Annual Expression Session at Sherman Island, the return of the Wild Wind Film Festival, world-class racing out of the St. Francis, and a big infusion of funds from Boardsports California to help upgrade your local launches. Add in swap meets, opening days, and gear demos—and the calendar is officially full.

 The battle against climate change is just beginning and I think its fair to say everyone is playing catch up. With that said a massive step forward to protecting the Bay we love deserves a little celebration. 

While our unique boardsailing community is a sum of it's parts, certain members of our community play a large role in shaping its culture to make it safe and fun and, in some cases, even possible, for us to enter the water and experience the stoke that our wind and waters offer.

Special thanks to former SFBA President Peter Thorner for this warning about a change in protocol for parking at Larkspur near the Prison Gates. The area in the Red Triangle above will start to be ticketed. You have been warned.
