All right, Thanks Eric!  See you on the water!

Hey Eric, thanks for the update. Glad to see Hamburg has their priorities in order. I heard it was an old law originated to keep the lower income minorities from Buffalo off their beaches.  Anyway, how about Gallager Beach? Is that parking lot still roped off also?

That’s a fascinating story Doug!  Hiding out, waiting for ten days, to sneak out in the dark, incredible.

Nice, My wife actually got me the Hero Session Gopro as a gift recently. Half the fun is figuring out mounting locations and angles. I have a handlebar mount that opens wide enough for the boom but not the mast. Flymount looks like good stuff, thanks!

That was awesome Doug! How do you shoot those ‘rear view’ POV? Are you riding one handed?

Darn! I missed all the action. I was there around 11;30am and was checking the beach out for the first time.

I use my neighbor’s primitive launch in between boulders and it’s a real washing machine with any waves. And it seems anyone without a break wall is going to get…[Read more]

Oh you skate, that’s cool! I used too as well. The tenacity and balance skater’s have will serve you well windsurfing. But don’t expect the board to respond the same, it’s more like standing on a small boat at first.

I have place on Lake Ontario so that’s primarily where I ride. So when the wind is good, the waves are usually something to contend…[Read more]

Hey Dave, welcome to the group!  I myself started last year, so I can definitely relate to your questions. As far as gear is concerned, you want a big floaty board with a dagger board. That’s the big fin in the center, usually retractable. 180 liters and up, for volume. For your sail you probably won’t want to go bigger than a 5.5.  Everyone l…[Read more]
