Ratings and Reviews
More time to play!
I reside in Utah and am newer to the sport of Windsurfing. High mountain lakes can be very challenging as well as rewarding. It has been a bear attempting to locate reliable wind reports. It’s demoralizing to drive an hour and a half and find little wind or not realize that the wind will be excessively shifting around as it does some days.. I am grateful I found this app! I am able to get to the lakes more often and have a much better time learning and laughing at myself. I am noticeably improving so that’s great. There is the occasional kiteboarding going on and they feel the gruff of the mountain lakes too. It would be clearly obvious with this app which day to get out and do that. See you there!

So great to hear, Not in Zim. Be sure to tell your windsurfing buddies about iWindsurf!
Not a windsurfer, but....
I live in a remote location on the southern Oregon coast where there is quite a bit of windsurfing. Due to the remote location at the ocean, it is difficult to get accurate forecasts of any kind, let alone specific wind gusts down to the hour. I’ve used iWindsurf on my iPhone for a few years and it’s the best forecasting I can get. Also, after a strong gust rocks my place, I can check in at the closest location to learn fairly quickly just how strong it was. I really appreciate this app!

Outstanding, Jane!
No life without the iWindsurf app!!!
I have been using iWindsurf since about the mid 80’s and it has made my life so much better and fun because all of my family windsurfs so the weather forecasts, along with all the other windsurf information on it has been great! We have bought and sold gear with it, found places to sail that we knew nothing about, got advice from your blog, and seriously check it every single day of my life for Wind !!! I could go on and on but it is THE BEST APP I HAVE!!!! Thank you big time!!!! Bill Mangan
