Used Gear and Press Time

[David]

I don't know if any of you saw this posted but Craig Windsor from Geneva sent me this link from the nice day we all had on Seneca September 14th. Scroll down on the right. I am in the front, Joe on back right and Lynn in the back left. I wish we could get 1 or 2 days a week like that!!!

I am moving to an area with more consistant wind in 3 weeks or so and rather than take all my gear with me I am selling some off. Before any of you say holy $#!+, I am a single professional, make cash, love gear, and really have nothing better to do than test everything in the market. Condition ratings are given, prices are fair based on the condition but I am open to offers as well. Ironically now that I have assembled my "ideal" windsurfing quiver I am going to change...PM with questions or offers.

Wow!

Some great gear here....I wish I had a need for some of it.
Mikey Z is that your new Starboard Carve 131 that David is advertising? Great price, more volume than you wanted, but great price.

[waterauthorityrick]

David,

You haven't spilled the beans yet on where that someplace else is?

I have the day off tomorrow and there looks to be sailable wind I would like to demo each and every one of your items for sale, please bring it to Webster Park except the snowfer.

I'm glad you got out Sunday morning I was walking the dog before church and was looking at the Lake from atop of the bluffs in my neighborhood, I almost left a message to inform the others but I knew Lynn was out of town and the wind was in the 8.0 to 7.0 range as far as sailors where concerned.

Not sure exactly where I am headed. I am taking a travel nursing job for 3 months and I have my choices narrowed down to Hawaii (Maui), Corpus Christi TX, SF bay area, or Emerald Isle NC, or Madison WI. All have their benefits and draw backs. Basically I am waiting to see who is going to give me the most money to work for them. On the other hand I might go to east dingleberry and work for 3 months for a buttload of cash then take a month off and head to Maui to sail every day, I don't know. One thing is for sure, I need more wind than here. Tupper lake in the adirondacks blew 15 at least 2 times per week, the longest stretch I had there was 9 straight days steady 13-22 every day from 11-6 pm.

I am planning on heading out the next 2 days. NOAA says west others say NW, I am going to Fairhaven at least one of the days. Anyone ever try Chimny Bluffs?

[waterauthorityrick]

Guys,

It's blowing here up on the bluffs now 10:15pm
I'm considering Webster during the day tomorrow & possible Chimny Bluffs or Fairhaven or Rudy's(Oswego) on Saturday because heading east is heading closer to the low, which by the way will be deepening more after it passes us.

Dave,

Call me tomorrow on my cell to let me know what your plans are. My cell number I will e-mail you

[Windydoug]

Hey David,

What are the chances of getting a cut and paste list from your above list...to see what slim pickins are left.
Thanks,
Doug

David,

So, I have not read any recounts of Hamburg last weekend besides the vague, I almost died stuff. How was it? How many people were kiting and how many people were windsurfing?

I would like to buy the Techno 160L and 86L Boards from you. Could you do me a favor and unwrap them and verify the condition? Then, let me know what the minimum you would sell them Both for. I need foot straps (there were none when we unwrapped the 86L) and board bags for each. As you know my situation is up in the air, but hopefully we can work something out that works for both of us.

Besides, you have 160L formula and it looks you haven’t used the 86L in a while.

Call, email or just reply here.

Later,

Matt

Matt Hamburg was fine. The wind was not ideal for the first 2 hrs I was there, gusty, side off shore with rain squalls passing now and then. Finally rigged a 9m kite and made one pass out, underpowered and having to work the kite until I was out 400 yards or so. Wind was a little better outside but not much, swell probably 5-6 feet with some bigger so I came back in to get a 12m, I did not have enough power to get all the way back upwind and ended up putting my kite into the rocks. Although it looked like a bad thing at the time it was not. No damage. Lynn put up a 12m and BOOOOM the wind went instantly to sustained 35 with gusts to ~ 42 on my meter (4.0 would have been 3.7 fo me). Fortunately lynn had put his kite down about 300 yards downwind in the surf of he would have been toast. A 12m kite is about the same as a 6 - 7m sail so you can imagine trying to hold that down. Anyway I bagged it after that because I had a date later on and needed a little sleep from 2 late nights of drinking and other previously. It looked great and if I could have stayed I would have for sure but the ladies call... ;D

[waterauthorityrick]

Matt,

I finally met David after a few months of e-mails, but because of the 40MPH winds I needed to rig and not talk, I logged in more than 5 hours of water time on my 4.2m and wished I had the strength for more.
Other kiters tuned to sailors were as David mentioned Lynn, Chris Klausner, & Palo.
Joe & Mark came in Joe's truck
Gary, Ken Jones, Bill all made the trip some sailed some moved along to a tamer water setting that wasn't so chaotic.
Ted Butcher, & Pete Woodams put their time in battling a 3.7m for likely the first time of the year.
There were hands down more Rochester than Buffalo people and as you can tell by the photos it was BIG. There was one time I turned back to see our local shop owner Dan Scorza riding a wave which was about 2 feet over the top of his 400cm mast that's a 15 foot monster.
I didn't hear of anything or body breaking which is a good thing especially in the conditions like those.
