Hello Jordan,

Glad you found this forum.  I hope somebody can help you out.  Can you give us a little more info about your background?  Have you windsurfed before, or will this be a new adventure for you?  Do you have any previous similar sport experience that may assist you?

Some good used gear does exist around Rochester, but lets see if we…[Read more]

Hi Mark,

Welcome to the forum!

Boot wise I have a pair of Xcel booties that are 5mm thick.  I like them a lot.  I have blown through a couple other brands but these have really held up.  They have a durable sole that is still thin enough for good feel, and all seems are glued inside and out.  They also have nice pul loops that are super hel…[Read more]

Awesome find Brad!

Love Ben Proffit…he’s hilarious, down to earth and doesn’t take himself too seriously.

Thanks for share here on the Forum.

Everybody….watch this!

Crap, didn’t work for me either.  Has to be something with the Seabreeze forum, not this stellar site.

Maybe this will work??!!

If not, the search free ride boards difference between conventional

Yo Scott!

The link above says the content has been removed or a bad link.  I want to read it, so see if you can link it again.

OR, do a Google search:  “How to be faster than Doug”, and you should get some good results. Bahhhhhhhahahah!!!

Ahto,

As I recall, I injected the Gorilla Glue into the holes from the bottle first and then sprayed the holes with water once the glue was inside.  Try this on a plate or disposable surface first, to get a sense for how the glue rises for a given amount of water. I think I may have even counted how many shots/pumps of water I used on the test…[Read more]

Hello Ahto,

Yes, to the best of my knowledge the repair is still holding up quite well.  I have had nothing to indicate otherwise to me.  I have had 5-10 sailing session on the board each year since the repair and it still delivers everything I have grown to love about it.

Another local sailor did a similar repair on one of his boards this f…[Read more]

Sure Mark, no problem.

I’m not sure if you noticed, but the website was down for about 36 hours as a result of an update gone bad.  Tech support to the rescue, and we are back.

The mobile phone piece may be something for me to look into.  The website should be fully responsive though.

Depending on where you live, the west is rideable at M…[Read more]

Hi Mark,

I’ve been trying to figure out your issue with creating a topic and getting it to post.  I have limited ability to dig into much, and didn’t really do anything to help Geoff out….it just worked.  I have check all of your settings beginning with verifying you are an actual member of the site/forum, which you are (thanks).  somehow a co…[Read more]

Hi Guys,

WHen I read through this before I didn’t realize the “GPS” was an HSM sail you were talking about.  Glad it found a new owner locally, and glad Mark found this site.  New to the group Mark?  I’m Doug Willard and I admin.  Maybe we’ve met?

Anyhow, looking forward to a game of cat and mouse.

You’ve got some interesting looking stuff there John.  I’m sure a bit of a conversation will start about this gear.  I really like your suggestion that a donation to a local food cupboard would be good payment.  If nobody takes it, I may be interested in one of the two custom boards on the right hand side for decoration.  Dill was a popular bra…[Read more]

Btw, seeing Freaky G on anything other that Superfreaks was like when Robby tried to change away from pink in his sail.  It just seemed off.

Haha,

Doug

Hey Geoff,

Sorry about that.

I did get your message, and I think I may have replied.  I don’t check the website “chat” very often and it escaped my attention.  I could not find any trace of anything related to pics waiting in a cue.  sorry if it was a hassle.  I have a fake/test account set up to test things like this so will try to upload mul…[Read more]

All of this gear has found a new home.

I guess the Rochester Windsports forum pages work.

See you on the water…on the new to you gear.

Hi Brian,

Your plan sounds solid.  Northerlies are surely doable and a few of the area riders do travel to Watkins Glen.  I’m not sure of the rules of hte road regarding the launch down there though.  The big issues will be your ability level and enough room for a safe launch.  In our area we have been lucky to have fairly favorable rel…[Read more]

Great looking set up Chris!

This gear is available in Canandaigua.
