SF Bay was the perfect venue for foiling, as well as shore side viewing, no doubt.

There aren't too many locations on the globe that can offer that kind of predictable wind and water front viewing with enough motels and dock facilities to host a big event like that. San Diego has the space, but not the wind.

Chicago...might only blow more than 10 one day out of 5 in the summer, and Bermuda is just too small, overpriced and too far away for anyone (spectators) to show up.
