Every year from 1998, the Ronstan Bridge to Bridge race invite all sailing engines for a run between two gates from the Golden Gate. This year, the competition was included in a 18 feet event and french photographer and cameraman Christophe Favreau was there.


On the starting line this year, there was windsurfers, 18 feet, kitesurfers and a MOD 70. It is Cam Lewis’ trimaran hebought in France for his Orion Racing Team.

This year, the final win came to the kitesurfing world champ Johnny Heineken who complete the run in 12 minutes. Two minutes better than last year but, in 2013, the american kitesurfer had a new weapon under his feet : a T foil.

This is Christophe Favreau’ video and here are his photos of the event.
