Hi Caroline,

Unfortunately, the wind around here is not on a clock (no tradewinds
here).

The Weather Network forecasts for wind are usually on the
conservative side. You can't depend on the Environment Canada
forecasts. You can't always believe what you see on the Environment
Canada Summary. Sometimes you just have to head out and take a look
for yourself. Sometimes the wind will be there for you (maybe less
wind, maybe more wind). Sometimes if you wait, you will get your
wind. Sometimes you get skunked.

My weather page has lots of resources for understanding and learning
about weather as well as different resources for current conditions,
trends, forecasts and weather models. None are 100% accurate (lucky
to get 60%).

The Manitoba Lakes are large and can create thier own weather that
does not match anyones forecast. Sometimes in our favour, sometimes
not.

Rule #1: Take ALL your gear with you when you head to the beach!

Welcome to windsurfing in Manitoba.

frustrated that I don't know when to pack up my gear and come out.
Where should I be looking?

Hi John, nice to hear from you!

We'll be heading to Regina Beach for the Nationals in Sept. for
sure! Look forward to meeting you there.

I'll post some pics of the Moose Regatta after the event.

Good winds,

Woody

PS to Manitoba windsurfuers/kiteboarders: come to Dryden July 3-4
and give the locals a show they'll never forget :) You MB Kiters
Rock!!!

Illi robur et aes triplex circa pectus erat, qui fragilem truci commisit pelago ratem primus.
As hard as oak and three times bronze was the heart of him who first committed a fragile vessel to the keeping of wild waves.
