Thinking of a run today in WA ?
Some really gusty conditions around here in the Midwest, Well worth a quick gear check as any weak points will be found,
find a quick radar check is worth it from your bom region,

17 knt spikes, that 7 just became a 10 in 40 knts

It's a bit early in the season for wind bragging isn't it?

Looking at the wind charts this arvo and this front has hit hard, fast and ferocious. I really hope there wasn't anyone out for a midday light wind session on a 17m
