They have a place, great for beginners until they learn the ways of the (wind) Force.
As Shannon Best said in a Kiteworld 'These things I know...' Article.

"Its either windy or its not! Everytime you get out a wind meter someone on the beach is laughing at you"


Yes I see the sniggers too. And just as often they can't help themselves and come up to me and ask what's the reading. Particularly when it's light and also when they can't decide between 2 kite sizes.


And This will add more confusion, as the wind does 3 things...........

It picks up, drops off or stays the same.


Sure does. But if you are on the line between kite sizes and the wind is forecast to be increasing later then the decision is easy

If you don't believe cold air is more dense then unbolt your turbo intercooler and tell me how she goes

yep I believe your right jedibrad you should start a new topic on it.
With the lack of wind you will probably hit 3 pages within hours
