Friday's shots -- GAME ON! Today was the beginning of the elimination rounds - it was very noticiable that the level of competition was very high! Today the wind was up to a pretty good tick, but this didn't stop any of the action. It actually added to it. Shooting from the South Embarcadero, we had a great vantage point on all the action. The pilots flew 4 rounds total which lasted about an hour and change for all 13 pilots. Klaus Schrodt was the lone cut pilot.

This is what happens when a pylon goes down. Boats jam out to the barge, and somehow they mystically pop up again in about 3 minutes. All in all I think we saw about 8 pylons taken down through the weekend.

Some of my favorite shots from Friday's flights:
