Also get a list of SWS members who support this effort and submit with your plan.
I think you will have a good chance of getting funding. Good Luck.
Dont forget to post your request on Kiteboard BC Forum.
Good thinking. I believe SWS has most of our email addresses and they could send an email blast to all members.
Probably many companies selling these weather stations but some features of interest to me:
-reliability and accuracy (if it's blowing 20 knots SE, sensor reads 20 knots SE)
-real time graph/data similar to SWS has at the spit, and mobile-friendly (BB/iOS/Android). Maybe host the graph on SWS website (or wtfbc / kiteboard bc forum)
-Forecasting? (we all probably use multiple sites for this)
-reasonable cost (shouldn't be a problem if a bunch of us chip in)
-others?
