We have been busy with kiters who have already had lessons but are not yet staying upwind. We drop you off about an hour and a half upwind. (Its still in view of the beach). China Creek Campground daily thermal winds.

No offense, but perhaps just do one thread about your school and services you offer? I can appreciate you're trying to run a business and get people stoked but there are spaces to advertise if you like and a bit of a precedent that the other schools don't flood the boards with posts in lieu of paid ads.

Cheers.

I have noticed a ton of posts recently about china creek. Marie and I could flood the board about nitinat and our services too but I don't think that is what it is for...

A thread for wind reports wasn't the issue it was the plethora of different threads all about China Creek. Getting a weather station there might be even better. And Kus needs a clear answer or the expect he will just keep windsurfing.
