I do as much as I can to provide public data, but I still make heavy use of
iWindsurf, both forecasts and readings.
In the big picture, $90 a year is small potatoes compared to the cost of
equipment. If it gets you to the right place at the right time a few
times more a year, then it seems well worth it to me.
