Kitesurfing session out under the Golden Gate Bridge on Sept 19th 2009
there was a very strong 4.7 knot ebb going out to sea.
The smoke is from a flare dropped on the water after a windsurfer had been reported missing and we saw his gear and body being swept out to see. The coast guard recovered the mans body 2.5 miles out to sea after several hours of searching.
Very sad day and my heart goes out to the family.
