Looks like a cool toy. Would love to see it in action. Post on Groupme next time you take it out! I’ve seen videos and would love to see it in action. I’ve heard Bay Creek in Roch. is getting a demo wing, a Naish I think.

Nooo! Great to see you Big E! Wish I’d checked your site for this forecast. I often just wing it. In fact it was only because of a case of insomnia that I got up early and hit the beach. When I got to Durand it was 5.3-5.7, by the time I posted it was 6.1. I tried that and it dropped more. So I put up the 6.5 Lion on the Goya Free Race (which…[Read more]

Awesome Eric ! Already watched one and can’t wait to watch them all. Love your presentation skills and your willingness to share your knowledge. I’ve always been frustrated by picking boards for our local conditions. I know you have sailed our Rochester area sites and you have to admit they are different than Erie. We get tons of chops. I’d like…[Read more]

I just checked the garage. I have an old carbon boom that I refurbished a while ago and don’t use. It’s small should cover 160. I can send it with Keaton and you can take a look. Try it and if you want it $50.

Corey, there are some cheap ones in the marketplace online. I see a new one by Chinook for $165 with free shipping.

Brian, I’m not a kiter either but I see plenty of them! Geez they’re everwhere! lol

Yes, I couldn’t believe the beach at Durand either. A couple of us had a theory that kites might be able to launch just a hundred yards east at the dip in the terrain but not sure. Most kiters are still able to launch at Montana at the Seabreeze Pier on the west…[Read more]

Thanks guys! When I have a good day, I’m unbearable with enthusiasm. I’m convinced it’s the stoke hormones talking and sometimes embarrassingly shows up here! Jammed my knee during my foil session and recovering from quadriceps tendonitis at the knee cap (taking prescription steroids, yikes). Earning points at home now.

It’s sad we don’t have…[Read more]

As sometimes happens with thermals, the next day after a thermal condition often produces similar conditions. I monitored the wind on the bay the day after this post and sure enough with winds only ten mph at Montana Beach, I was able to ride my foil in the thermal on south Irondequoit Bay. It didn’t look as strong as the day before so I put up a…[Read more]

I’m not surprised that big money is playing a role in this. That being said too much water released affects both upstream and downstream cities on the St. Lawrence negatively. Lower too much and water intake for upstream cities is affected and the released water floods the Montreal region.

It’s like predicting the weather but worst when it comes…[Read more]

Wow, I didn’t realize that was your first session of the season, Doug! You’ve lost weight! No wonder you’re so fast! Yes, I remember that one pass where Corey and I were on the same rip. I was trying to test the foil speed out and compare my speed to his. Corey was definitely faster, I was on my 5.5 Hydra Ezzy and he on a 6.5 Ezzy.  He was dialed…[Read more]

Thanks Rick! And thanks Corey that Seager Visitor Center meter is pretty good. Showing 28S right now! Yikes. Time to pack!

What a crazy day! I must have been sailing in the same winds. That WS sailor is Corey Dunn, somewhat new to the group. Seems to like cold weather, sailed with him last year in December at Daigua.

I set up in the regular windsurf setup area by the marina. I was anxious to test out my new windsurf foil setup, a new MFC mast and fuselage (warranty…[Read more]

Looks like another convert to the winter scene. The ponds can get gusty but is a fun spot to sail. Haven’t been there in a while. I was thinking it might be John Cimbalo but he usually sails a trike with a windsurf sail on it. Almost sounds like old school skate setup like back in the 80’s. I made one and still have it. Welcome to group! Lots of…[Read more]
