Yeah, the parking lot is closed at Gallagher Beach for social distancing. We have been parking on the street, but it’s a little dangerous with the traffic zooming by. Be careful! You could park in the big lot on the other side of the park, but you would need wheels to transport your gear that far.

Geoff, Before I make a long drive I’m wondering how the parking situation was on the visitor center side of the lake given the holiday weekend and social distancing? Did they limit any parking? Thanks!

Great to hear from you! I have not yet had a session at Geneva this season, but I am very much looking forward to it. It’s been a great season so far with March posting record warm temperatures. Unfortunately, April was no warmer than March, but it still produced lots of sessions on Lake Erie and Lake Ontario. This weekend is showing some possible…[Read more]

Hey Isaac! All the best to you and your family. Lisa and I wish you great windsurfing in Switzerland. It has a true pleasure getting to know you.

Great time at Seneca Lake on Wednesday. Got to ride 3.3m while Lisa was on 2.9m. Some great swell, and jibes really felt good. Was about 54 degrees and the sun even came out a bit. Might be the last session of the season for me.

Lisa took the video. She did a great job. Most pictures and videos never really show what it actually feels like out there, but this video gives a real sense of it. 50mph is a lot of wind.

Fantastic! I was disappointed that my schedule would not allow me to sail with you guys at Seneca that day, but I was stoked to hear from several guys who said it was a great session. We had hoped that the WSW session would kick in near sunset in the Buffalo area, but it didn’t really pan out  that day. Tuesday has strong potential for Seneca and…[Read more]

FANTASTIC post!!!! Love it! Thanks so much Geoff. I’m going to come back and read it several more times.

I thought your jibe was pretty damn good given that, at the time I was recording, the wind was blowing over 30mph and you were on a 5.2m. Good job managing the power to complete the jibe.

Very interesting about the sail and settings. I’ve been riding mostly Ezzy’s since the beginning, so I can’t really discuss comparisons between brands very…[Read more]

Always LOVE your reports Geoff. That new sail sounds good. I got a little video footage from Sunday, and I’m pretty sure that you are in it towards the end of the video. The video quality is a little ‘shaky’ because I couldn’t get the camera out of the wind, plus I’m using a digital lens zoomed in to the max. But hopefully you still enjoy it. Here…[Read more]

Great post! Friday was incredible. The forecast looked EPIC, so Lisa and I left Buffalo around 3:30pm instead of going to Canada which is a much shorter drive for us. We didn’t get on the water until about 5:45pm, but it was just ramping up to 40mph+ so it seemed like good timing. It was perfect! Still dreaming about it. We got about an hour and a…[Read more]

AWESOME!!! Love it!

When the wind is west, like today, you guys might want to take a drive to Wilson and ride with me. Today was AWESOME!  https://www.ericthebige.net/wind-blog/ontario-rock-and-roll

I loved reading your story. Last time I sailed at Durand (June 30) Scott blasted upwind to that pier on his 6.5m and Goya Bolt. I actually got some video and pics of him that day right near the pier.
