If you have a smart phone I think this is a must have app, It's free and allows you to post a short 10 sec video of where you are and give some particulars and enable other to comment. You set the app up so you get notifications from people who post within a certain distance from you, basically a real-time location/weather report. You can also follow people, post to facebook and even get directions to where a report was posted from.
I've been using it for a while now and there are a few people out there in Seabreeze land that use it as well, but it would be good to get more of you on board so we can get good Aussie community going. It's nice to know where other are sailing, nothing worse then turning up and being the only one out or missing out on epic conditions only a short drive away. With the Weendy app we can know where others are sailing and how good it really is.
So, who's using Weendy?
If its going off at your local,
I think the last thing you would want to do is tell 200 other people to get down there.
Best to just ring a couple of mates.
. I think it's a good idea but like everything else in this world, it's not for everyone...it's up to you if you use it.
I put this together to see if it was possible last August.
You basically send a tweet containing #windsurflaunch with your phone set to share location and it pops up on the map.
It was originally an experiment but I recently had this idea that you could mine all the data including dates and times and then upload it to google earth with isobars and run it as an kind of lapsed time animation - you'd get lots of little bubbles popping up as the bars bunched up.
A kitesurfing mate works for google and he wanted to write some sort of app that could do it.
Anyway, I have far more ideas than motivation so if anyone likes it, I'm happy to give them the code.

I'm on it Jase. Good to read your reports but you should video for a bit longer, I always like seeing your spots 
I hope heaps of people see my reports, personally I prefer to sail with lots of people rather than no one. I recommend the service and hope more start to use it. I live an hours drive from Botany Bay so if I'm going to jump in my car and go down there I want to at least know I have some chance of sailing if the conditions are marginal. In the past I have been skunked many times by crap reports but if there was someone actually on the spot that could have reported the live conditions then I might have been able to save myself the $5.00 in petrol as well as the $24.00 in tolls!!!!
I am with you Jase, having been out several times this year all on my lonesome I have to say at least some of the fun is the chit chat before, during and after.
Even on the busiest day at SP there is still room for everyone.
