Thanks for extending your human forecasts through November 18th. But that is still NOT good enough. We sail year round here on Long Island. If anything forecasts are MORE important during the winter months. Look you have raised my Membership from $69.00 to $159.00 over the years. You have countless new members who are Kiters. What will it take to have Forecasts during the windy, winter, sailing season?

Doesn't NOAA work out there? If you haven't looked at them lately on the internet, you might be surprised at the variety of forecast products they offer via computer, WX radio, and instantaneous cell phone downloads. We're paying for that, too; may as well use it.

At least until the end of December. This is prime windsurfing season for Long Island.

It was a nice surprise that IWindsurf extended the forecast season to Thanksgiving! I think that it's hard to expect them to go too much later than that around here- Cape Cod/ MA/ R.I. I sail year round but very few of the local crowd does. IWindsurf probably can't justify custom forecasts for a handful of hard core guys/dolls.

Dear Brucie.
There are women here with more balls than you, and they stay in the water year round, so bug off.
