Second pic:

Nope, still the same deal no matter what I do. Two images either linked (from imgur) or uploaded (yes, I waited!) makes the post disappear upon clicking the submit button. One image is fine:

Seems that more than one pic in the edit makes the post go away.

Thanks Doug! It’s a Columbia Composites board.

Will try to post pics again!

Some pics from when the weather was warmer:

I realize I’m a little late to the party here, but from Rochester, I see Kershaw at the N end of  Cdga as the most practical option for South winds (can have a fair bit of W in it before it gets gusty). As Geoff says, nice and shallow quite a ways out to practice beach starts, and it’s fairly trivial to make E/W tacks all the way to the shoreline…[Read more]

Haha, I bet it is! Did you take it to an event, or one of the “bring your car around the track at no more than 60mph” things? I’ve done the latter with my wife’s car (plain ol’ XC60), and was incredibly fun. I can just imagine how fun the Polestar is out there!

As for the board, as I said, I’ve slept on it; while a very tempting deal, it’s not…[Read more]

Man, that’s a deal indeed… Second what Doug said on your gear being in tip-top shape; the GPS 6.6m I picked up a couple years back is still in gorgeous condition. It’s by far my favorite sail, and I’ve actually been looking for a more slalom-y board to pair it with. This obviously isn’t it, but a good deal on a good board for Ontario is hard to…[Read more]

I see your balloon and raise you an orange board, as a test post of my own; usually can’t just insert an image and post it without the post disappearing into the void…

Nice balloon there Doug!

Will do the same, I always have my eyes on Craigslist within a ~200 mile radius; it’s how I got most of my equipment.

What’s your skill level – looking for more beginner/intermediate oriented equipment, or more fragile light-wind type stuff?

Coming from the perspective of a Rochester resident who hasn’t tried foiling yet:

On any given day when I’m out on Canandaigua, it seems that I’m the only one not on a windfoil or wingfoil. On any of the Finger Lakes it’s best to wait for a wind mostly out of the south if you’re attempting to sail at the north end of the lake. Anything east or…[Read more]

Test post to see if I can post a picture without editing it into the post after the fact!

Awesome, thanks Doug!

Was out on Canandaigua again today with the 9.5. It felt like the wind was going from 5 knots up to 20+ in the gusts coming out of the hills from the west. I had been using the 150L Go with the footstraps in the intermediate position, and have recently been trying to get used to them in the outboard position for better…[Read more]
