Thinking of doing the same. I just don't get it..the demand is there for the sensor and I'm not sure the cause for the delay.

[bandito]

for you people who pay ikitesurf, maybe you should also tell them to install sensors at other parts of the B bay , point Robert, white rock point? mmm, I guess 12 subscribers at 100$ wouldn't cover that.... I still think Canada Meteorology something would and should install one on the mile marker!

Anybody inquire into Windguru option? https://stations.windguru.cz/

Someone mentioned that they've already spoken to the resident that lives at the base of 3rd avenue and it's ok to install something on his roof? Due to the delays with Ikitesurf/Sailflow, why not just buy a weatherstation on our own? I'm happy to chip in and I'm assuming others would too. I think there's a way to link the live data to this website too. Unless I'm missing something, if we all chipped in to purchase this, it's cheaper than each of us having ongoing long term monthly costs for a subscription to iKitesurf.

What do we think??

The response from them when I cancelled my subscription due to no sensor in BBay was "The building hosting Boundary Bay was demolished and our maintenance team has been trying to secure anew location for the sensor".
I like Ikitesurf, and will join again. Likely in the summer, as Harrison Lake is also available with membership.
The guys at Nicola had a good weather station. I think it was weather underground, Really goog data I thought. Not sure what cost was etc. If I lived at boundary bay I'd offer up a sensor and computer, wifi, web cam and whatever else that could help.

Yes they are trying to find a new location. They thought they had one from a local but it was not on the water front and therefore did not have good exposure to the wind. So they are back to looking for another location. I got an email this morning from the West Coast Operations manager as I'm working with them to try and find a new location. I am pursuing a for potential sites now and if any of you have potential leads let me know as well.

Thanks M. Appreciate your and anyone else's efforts who are working on this.

I wonder if the host of the webcam would be willing to have the sensor there? It seems close to the right part of the beach, if it was roof-mounted.

[Slappy]

I think that's too far back, it's a few houses off the water. When the webcam used to also have wind data the data was awful.

It's too bad we can't just stick a sensor on top of that pump station. And while we're at it throw one on top of the first dolphin at Spanish Banks too!
