Kirk, you make a good point, but San Francisco Int'l just spent 2 or 3
billion expanding their terminal. In that light I think the runway
expansion is almost inevitable.

Of the two site plans in the SJ Mercury, neither looks good for
windsurfing. If the new north-south runway is built west of the
existing pair, then Oyster Point loses. If it's built east, then the
new east-west runway and its landing light pier might interfere with
reaches from Coyote.

On the other hand, from looking at a map, neither case looks like it
would be more than an inconvenience. There are other situations on
the bay (Coyote construction, Seal Point, Crissy renovations,
Berkeley, Treasure Island access, etc) where I believe windsurfers
stand to gain or lose much more, and have a much greater chance of
having an significant voice.
