Hi Windoggie,
Actually, the dead horse is showing definite signs of life recently. With COVID-19 being a somewhat higher priority with city officials than a sensor for windsurfers things were at a standstill but have now shifted from glacial gear to granny gear. The last I heard we were very close to getting permission. Once we can regain access to the sensor we will schedule a repair.
Our sensor team has also been impacted by COVID and are driving around the USA rather than flying. This slows things down a bit.
Check back in a week or so.

Actually, email exchange with Ben Miller few days ago gave hope for repair being completed as soon as 5/18.
But don't hold breath.....
Cheers, David

Hallelujah!!! Thanks to all on the iWindsurf team who got our precious Berkeley sensor back on line! We old guys in Berkeley depend on this sensor.
Now if we can just get Pt. Isabel park to open we will be happy campers in the East Bay. Thanks, team iW!

Sail tuning does wonders for low end.
Sofien on 4.5. But he weighs 145.
