Fleet Week San Francisco kicked off with CH-53 helicopters landing at Lake Merced and an LCAC hovercraft landing at Ocean Beach Wednesday.
A couple share a kiss at Ocean Beach in November of 2009.
I came across some old images while re-writing my website, which still is not finished over at www.jweiand.com
The Post Yule Pyre at Ocean Beach is a Sunset tradition that goes back a number of years, and 2011 was no different. A group met at Java Beach on Sloat and proceeded to pick up a number of trees along the way to the beach. The trees would be dragged to the beach, ignited, and attract the attention of police. When police would drive to one fire, a group of trees would scurry down the dunes to another bonfire and the ignition would be met with a raucous cheer to which the police would respond. This back and fourth went on for a little while until the police decided the fun was over. Overall another interested San Francisco event. @jweiand
Did you know San Francisco hosted the greenest surf contest ever, and possibly the greenest athletic event in the world? You may know that Kelly Slater won his 11th World Title (twice), but this is the story behind the story.
Do you know what it takes to create an athletic event which diverts 90% of waste away from the landfill? While waste diversion is just a piece of the puzzle (see the full breakdown @ Sustainable Surf: Final Report), it required constant supervision and effort to reach the goal of 90%.
Local non-profits Sustainable Surf, the SF chapter of the Surfrider Foundation, Wastebusters, and the Ocean Beach community came together to create the greenest World Championship Tour contest ever.

Photographing a surfboard can only be done so many ways, and this was a new one for me. Ocean Beach local Mark Valenta showed us his quiver and I was able to reflect his neighborhood in his single fin. @jweiand/obb
See the whole quiver, including a sweet Paipo, over at Ocean Beach Bulletin
This is a quick portrait of local ripper Andy Olive. The Bulletin has begun a new feature called “Show Us Your Quiver,” where local surfers expose their OB surf sticks. Andy is someone I have seen in the water a number of times, and I’m stoked I got the opportunity to shoot his photo along with his boards and truck. Check out what he’s doing over at San Franpsycho.
To answer something you may be thinking, YES the Danny Hess twin fin is as rad as it looks, and YES that is a Danny Hess handplane in the wheel. Jon Weiand
Check out details on all the boards, and some funny anecdotes as told by Andy himself at the Ocean Beach Bulletin
