Just an fyi. My experience with the iKitesurf/iWindsurf sensor at 3rd is that it is "fairly" accurate (it's on a house near the water) on SE, E, or ENE winds but when the wind direction goes SSE or S it is best to use the gust reading as the average wind speed.

Rocky beach at Erwin Park, just fine for windsurfing but maybe tough for kites

Full on fun! Wasn't expecting the wind to last but it outlasted me! Some BIG waves today, got caught off guard a few times and got worked! Some killer rides and jumps, saw Johnny catch the wave of the day, sweet! Dave was all smiles!

What a day! So fun! I don't know about wave of the day, but I definitely won kook move of the day. Jibed full speed into a sand bar and went splat. At least Brad got to see where not to go. :D
