Kitesurfing the Water Works in Angola

Fist published 5/28/07


The picture above is taken at "The Water Works", Bennett Beach in Angola, NY's Grand View Bay, about 35 minutes outside of Buffalo. This photo is of myself (Wardo) and was taken by my wife. This spot is clean and sandy with no hidden hazards. This is about a 15knot day waves were small breaking about 3 feet. On a 25 knot day this spot is epic and waves can break anywhere from 5 to 8 feet. Wind directions for this spot can be ridden from South to North, but is best at South West (port jump) and North West (starboard Jump).
On a North East wind you need to move down in front of Mickey Rats and Kaptain Kidds, Quite often this spot creates a thermal from the N.E. when the rest of this end of the Lake might be experiencing light East wind.
