This is unreal:

"Today's Photos of the Day, by Wayne Lambright of San Francisco, are as exciting as we've ever seen. Lambright tells Latitude that he was photographing surfers under the South Tower of the Golden Gate Bridge when a Santana 22 sailed between the South Tower and Fort Point. This is never a very good idea, but it's worst in the winter because waves often break all the way from shore to the tower. The two gentlemen aboard Yachtsea were soon to learn what it's like to surf - really surf - a sailboat. In short order the boat was dismasted, rolled, and eventually sunk. Fortunately, the skipper and crew appear to have escaped serious injury, in part because of the assistance of surfers."
