I don't have much against the iws site - and esp. like the free real-time
wind info (cofw only provided delayed reports for free).
However, another aspect of the old cofw site i liked alot was the community
rage pages for the various areas. I thought there were some mighty hilarious
posts that were worth a laugh or two - esp. since I was already browsing the
site for wind info. I agree, the current set of community pages just doesn't
contain the same level of relevant content.
Is there interest out there for resurrecting something similar to the old
rage pages? Basically, an online discussion forum more finely relevant to
each windsurfing region. And of course, it'd be entirely free!
