I agreee with all of you. While facebook marketplace and craigslist are options - they don't have the national reach of IW classifieds nor do they have the focused audience that we know is the windsurfing community. I have bought and sold many items over the past 15+ years and never had a bad experience on this site. I have also met some people that went on to become my windsurfing group!
Please bring it back! |

If you ask the right questions, it is easy to pick out the bad guys. Let us take the chance and decide who to trust. MEMBERS only posts would solve half the issue. Picking out a bad buyer is pretty easy. BRING BACK ADDS... |

Are you guys taking these appeals to Weatherflow, or just preaching to the choir here? |

Weather flow treats us like a bunch of chumps. Their websites are a craptastic mess with a confusing WindAlert/iwindsurf mix
Check out windy.com for great wind visualization and forecasting. I pay for that as it is so much better.
The only thing of value weatherflow offers now are the sensors - they treat us badly because they know we can’t live without them-we are the addicts and they are our dealer. |

+1 . If I didn't choose whether and when to drive and what to rig based on the iW sensor where I sail, I'd drop them in a hearbeat. |
