It used to be that the best way to find out if it was windy enough to ride was to drive down to the beach and take a look with your own eyes. Back then, it seemed like I did more driving around trying to find wind than I did actually riding. Of course this was before every 16-year-old and their mom had phones able to access the internet with them at all times. We are living in a time where we have near instant access to an entire world of information on our computers or phones. This information can be used for all kinds of practical uses, but the most important use for all of us is how we can use the new technologies out there to get more time on the water.
