TV Crews in Alameda, wassup?


On May 21st and June 3rd, TV crews from KTVU Channel 2 News and KRON Channel 4 Bay Area Backroads visited Crown Beach Alameda to report on a couple of cool stories.

May 21st KTVU report: The crew was reporting on water quality improvements in the Bay. Crown Beach Alameda was featured. Footage of kiters were shown on KTVU news that evening, and I got to see myself kiting on the news!  The water quality seems to have improved over the 7 years we have been running the school. The water is clearer than ever.

June 3rd Bay Area Backroads report: Dean, the cameraman from Bay Area Backroads, came out to Crown Beach to film Boardsports School for an upcoming feature. They are producing a spot on fun things to do on the Bay. Dean caught some great footage of kiting and windsurfing at Crown Beach. The weather was absolutely perfect - sunshine and wind in the 20s! The show will air in September and we'll post it on the blog so you can catch the Boardsports Alameda action.

This is a great week for wind - come get out on the Bay!!
