FLX Kiter Brad started the topic First Foil Ride in the forum General Windsports Discussion 8 years, 3 months ago

I know a few folks saw my hydrofoil project in its infancy so I thought I would share some of the finished product. It took a lot of glass to reinforce the joints and a LOT of sanding. I got my first few rides (for only a second or so) but it rose up out of the water to the occasion. Its very slow and has lots of drag and I already rammed it into…[Read more]

I heard Jim Cook passed. Never met him – but I was fortunate enough to chat with him on the phone last year. I know he was a Legend in these parts of the Finger Lakes as one of the early water men. Rest in Peace Cookie.

Sounds good. Not sure they can introduce aggregate to the lake without an Armycorps permit.

BIG KUDOS TO OUR RXBOB FOR ENSURING A SAFE SENECA ACCESS RECENTLY!!!

Nice post. Seneca has certainly turned her back on us this spring after many many winter sessions scored. I need her on again as my students are lining up.
FLX Kiter Brad started the topic Canal Slick Spots & Kites in the forum General Windsports Discussion 8 years, 5 months ago

Probably somewhat obvious but for most kiters but thought I would share my recent experience inside the Sodus Bay canal recently. I had an hour on an 8m cruising the smooth swells that entered the 1/4-mile coffer dam canal Thursday. There are some fantastic smooth drops created by some form of delta on the bottom of the entrance. A shallow spot…[Read more]

I know foiling on the kiting side is just starting around here but Im surprised no one on the windsurfing side has not been foiling…

A good time was had by all at the 1st annual Seneca Surf Bash!

I was secretly hoping the turnout from our Finger Lakes region would have been more so that we could show our Rochester brethren the vastness of our numbers. Turned out the greatest number of attendees were Rochester windsurfers! A big thank you to all the Roch wind folks who made the…[Read more]

As a few of you know I have invented a safety launch tether for kiting.

I need your help to bring it to market. Please view my Kickstarter campaign and consider making a donation!

Just returned from OBX. Pilot Bob and I missed the blow out week but had two days of 6m downwinders along with a few 12m days. Highlight of the trip was when my tent blew out from high winds and soaked my sleeping bag after a front passed through. We were eating at a diner in Buxton when I spotted Ameen in the parking lot. We also had a nice…[Read more]
