- Surfing in a beautiful mountain lake, I have wanted to do this for a while and capturing it on video is a dream come true.
Last year the wind was strong enough to see if it was possible to downwind in Tahoe. I searched the shoreline of Lake Tahoe for a convenient launch spot , looking for a one person car/bike shuttle, and I have yet to find the right spot. The wind window was closing and there was lightning forecast soon so I abandoned the search and went to Donner Lake.
Donner Lake is long and narrow, the wind blows down the long way, with a road around the shore making for an easy launch and bike back. Had a blast on this run last year and I have been looking forward to trying it again this year with a friend, my favorite board, and the pole camera mount.
The wind was forecast to be in the high teens with gusts in the high twenties the second day of our trip and clear blue sunny skies, perfect! Last year the wind was blowing in the low twenties and I was really curious how it would be this trip.
We had a great time, I enjoyed introducing downwinding to a friend and it was fun to have mom and the kiddos welcoming us as we surfed into the beach.

That's pretty wild for a lake
I wanna try surfing here when the wind is crazy. Now that would be magical.
I wing foiled it in 30-50 mph winds when i was still learning, it was intense.
@@clayisland Have you ever seen any long boarders on the very windy days like at Lake Tahoe?
Amazing, I would love to do this.
Right on! One of the reasons I made this video is to get the word out and hopefully inspire the creation of a community of DW Lake surfers. I hope you get some!
