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?

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!

Yeah, I’ve watched the hell out of “Getwindsurfing”, they’re really good. Even if it is calm,…[Read more]

How do you shoot those ‘rear view’ POV? Are you riding one handed?

I missed all the action. I was there around 11;30am and was checking the beach out for the first time. I was dropping my board off at Curtis sports for a crunched nose repair so I wandered down to have a look. I was surprised no one was there as it was blowing well with formidable shore break indeed. I was hoping to see how you pro’s do…[Read more]

It’s a real issue this year along the lake. There is just less beach to be found. With the higher lake levels the waves seem to be bigger also. 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]

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]

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]
