Quite invaluable, use it daily. Would be a shame to see it disappear :-(

Is this still an issue?

I use it every day, up to 4 times a day. Would be at a loss without it.

Hey Dave. Glad to see that the site is up and running again. I use it almost every day in order to plan our Outrigger Canoe Club practices. It helps to keep the novices safe and the hardcore enthusiasts where they should be.

Keep our wind Model

Post by steve-0 »

I dont know what I'd do if I couldnt check for wind here. I guess I would be driving around a lot looking for wind with many dissapointing days. Please keep our wind model. I check it at least 3 times a day if not a few more when its blowin.

The U Dub wind model is clear, concise and provides a simple, yet invaluable element to the BWD forecasting service....we need it immensely!!
