Hi Yotam,

Will keep our eyes peeled at try to report to you.

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]

Hey Mark,

Sorry about the photo posting issue.  I had not checked in on the forum in a bit with things being busy for me.  I just did a bunch of behind the scenes updating that may solve your issue.  A couple were significant.  I have not tried to replicate what might be happening for you however.

Also, I just read your message about being add…[Read more]

Yeah, life always gets in the way. Pretty awesome that you can help out your parents; mine are >5 hours away, not much I can reasonably do these days.

My normal spot on Ontario is Durand Eastman which needs a bit of N in the wind to not be too gusty; should try something further east sometime!

I’ve got a friend interested in trying things out;…[Read more]

I got out last Saturday at Aurora (Long Point SP) and had a good 5.5 day. Looks like Sunday was good at Geneva, but alas I had to help my folks with fall yard chores (87 and 93, so I’m needed for any muscle chores).

Hoping for something good this weekend, but today is really rainy. Maybe tomorrow (10/17), but the wind direction mainly favors the…[Read more]

Doug, adding pictures is REALLY frustrating. I’ve tried twice now, and the forum keeps eating my post. 🙁

Missed out on the fun on Saturday, was just too busy, but did head down to Canandaigua today armed with a 9.5m sail and a 170L Go. Seemed perfect for the 10-15 knot winds we had in the early afternoon. Also put together a short video clip; gybes are surprisingly hard with the giant sail!

That’s a bad direction around here.

N end of Seneca is doable but not great once it’s beyond SSW, same for Cayuga. Haven’t sailed there, but I think Long Pond in Rochester aligns with a SW. Only other option is Southwick Beach, a 2 hr drive from Ithaca.

One might think Oneida at Sylvan Beach, but Oneida is unfailingly light when it’s SW.

Thanks Geoff, Any advice for southwest? Aka this Saturday.

When there is wind from the NW, just go and you’ll meet someone.

Hey John, welcome to the site! What setup did you pick up?

Despite the relatively slow activity around here, the windsurfing scene in the area is usually pretty active (in my opinion at least!)

I’m typically sailing out of either Durand with any winds from the north, or Canandaigua with a south wind. Hope to see you out there someday!
