Did you know the Finger Lakes region is one of the most ideal regions in the world to enjoy a wide-variety of board sports such as windsurfing, kite-boarding , paddleboarding and ice boarding? From the unique waters of the Finger Lakes, each with their own characteristics and personality, to the raging waters of Lake Ontario, the diversity of offerings our region has to offer sets us apart.
The all new Finger Lakes Board Sports podcast will cover it all. Geared towards the die-hard athletes as well as those interested in getting involved in these sports, this monthly podcast will feature local reports, tips, product reviews, interviews, and much more.
The podcast will be hosting by Doug Willard and Jason Gordon.
Doug Willard has been windsurfing since the age of 12 and regularly travels the area looking for the best conditions. He is passionate about getting outdoors and playing in the real world, as well as helping others to do the same. Other pursuits that Doug enjoys include Stand Up Paddleboarding, Long board Skateboarding, and biking.
Jason Gordon was a disillusioned windsurfer looking to increase his session frequency when he decided to switch over to kitesurfing in 2009. Coupled with his love of nature and extreme weather, kitesurfing has since found him chasing the wind regionally and to destinations as far south as Puerto Rico and Costa Rica. Like Doug, Jason also enjoys other sports including surfing, SUP, skateboarding, skiing, snowboarding, mountain biking and tennis.
