We did the same as that last year in San Francisco. One second we were doing 20knots plus, then next I was flying round the forestay and landing in waist deep water! Luckily none of us got hurt but we did break the spin pole and the centre board.  Some one on the beach even rang 911 and the police and fire brigade turned up!!!

Looks like that was the tip of a headland, and about 10 seconds later they probably would have been able to bear away around it

It did look like they were trying to sail quite high already.
