I am w Spennie
I've been paying for this service for over 20 years and Lake I is my spring destination
Being w/out a sensor for months because now you decide to request permits is not acceptable!
That s an stablished spot, that s been there soo grandfather it in and fix it while u wait for permits
You committed to having it fixed by March 24,
So get it done!
Max

It's the property owner, not the beggar, who determines whether something gets grandfathered.

Pray for wind and hope for the best as to the sensor repair.

First of all, it is just a sensor at a lake.
That's all.
No one died because the sensor wasn't working.
No one lost friends because the sensor wasn't working.
Get over it.
I have been a member of Iwindsurf for,
oh who gives a shit how long I have been a member.
When I first heard about the Pager I thought,
"How cool!"
I would show it to people who weren't even windsurfers and they would say, "How cool!"
And it still cracks me up that I can easily see what is happening at any site.
Sure there's going to be gliches with any new technology, but it's only a sensor at a lake.
What I am trying to say is,
Thank You Mike and all the other people at Iwindsurf for going thru all the hassle and hard work of getting this thing going and keeping it going.
It's not like you are some over paid government worker that has never gotten something like this up and running by themselves.
Youse guys built, by yourselves, a product that has been extremely helpful to me and other windsurfers and you should receive credit for that.
I am a self employed builder who has to deal with government bureaucrats when I have to pull a permit.
So I know how aggravating the process is.
In construction, anything that takes five days takes eight days.
I'm sure that the sensor will get fixed when it gets fixed.
I just wanted you to know that here is one person in Southern California that appreciates all that you have accomplished.
Enough of this whining nonsense.
Also thank you "superkraurt" for all that you have done for the Lake.

By the way I am Mike Godsey's long lost brother-in-law,
and he paid me to make that last post.
Does this give me a free year of iWindsurf?
Huh, Huh?

@lcaulkett - GOOD POST - well spoken. For the few thumbsuckers IWINDSURF should give them their money back and ban them from membership. See how much they like that responsive customer service.

Okay, I promise this is my last post.
What a relief for all of you.
I windsurf because it is fun.
The whole iWindsurf thing makes it more fun.
Remember, the iWindsurf thing is a toy.
Toys should be fun.
Sometimes the sensors don't work perfectly.
OH WELL.
No crisis.
Done.

weeeell, there is a certain urgency here:
we have so little water in the lake that come May at the latest, we won't be able to sail any more. So its now or some time spring 2015, IF that El Nino materializes.
Maximizing my TOW now, is therefore essential to my immortal soul, and its sure more convenient to have iwin inform me just when it is sailable, than having to sit on the beach to not miss any.

I agree the sensors are vital. They affect my windsurfing to the tune of thousands of dollars per year in fuel alone, let alone catching wind when available, never mind my time.
But it still makes no sense to try to run roughshod over the million megaton federal gorilla who owns not just the playing field but also the game ball, the rule book, the referees, their whistles, the parking lot, the keys to the gate, the water, and apparently our right to eat our own GD sandwich.
