We are taken around San Diego harbor in search of people partaking in different water sporting activities. We first encounter several water surfboarders, some who are doing acrobatic stunts, such as national surfboard champion Christian Peterson, who himself is acting as the surfboard itself. The stunts are not always successful, but which may ultimately be achieved through more practice. The surfboarding can also be dangerous in the busy and crowded harbor. Next, we come across a six meter sailboat race, which is just starting, and has an exciting finish.
