My observations about iwindsurf.com:

- It's faster than it was when it launched.
- I haven't noticed any problems with response times.
- zulusports.com is way slower that iwindsurf.com
- However, a lot of one's experience depends on the state of the Internet
  and the state of your ISP. iwindsurf.com can't take all the blame
  for response issues.
- The wind reports are free. If you really only want a small subset
  of info, write your own program to extract the info from the website
  and format it however you wish (like in Ken Poulto Poulton's reports).
- I wish iwindsurf.com was around when I started windsurfing! There's
  a lot of valuable info there, and I like the fact that it's all in
  one place (e.g., local sailing info, directions, local shops).
- I would rather see the zulusports stuff on the page than to see
  iwindsurf.com go away.
