Hey all- Lover your posts – Keep them coming.

I have been looking around but have been unsuccessful. Can you guys give me suggestions on the best sites to get wind info for Bonneville to Hood River. Is Iwindsurf.com the best? Thanks for any ideas.

In my highly biased opinion, iKitesurf forecasts are a good source for Gorge wind.

I am always interested in feedback from users of the iKitesurf forecasts. In particular, if there are places you are kiting that are not covered well, feedback is really helpful. Any suggestions are always welcome.

Here is a link to feedback for iKitesurf.

Thanks

George - thanks for posting!

One question I have about IWindsurf... the computer temp forecasts seem to be way off, especially the further out you go. For instance it shows a high of only 42 degrees for Monday at Swell City.

The temperatures are probably coming from model generated data. I sent your observation on to the programmers. I will let you know when I get an answer or we get it fixed.

Is there a good place to learn how to read the tables and projections on iWindsurf.com? I browsed quickly over the help section but not real helpful.

Agreed!

Insite from the origin is great. I'm glad that IKite is looking for input Laughing
