Killer Wind meter..cheap

Post by wavie_gravie » Thu Jun 01, 2006 10:05 am

Picked up a sweet wind meter at Home Depot

8 bucks. the thing is solid.
It has 3 settings too. I can taylor it to show me what kite rather than the wind speed. put it to the wind and I get a 16m reading or 12m or 9m.

damn cool.

Oh yeah sorry

It is called a "Crow Bar" I believe

You hold it up in high winds and if it bends you ride a 12m

If it breaks you ride a 9m

If it does not move you bust out your 16m

Damn thing is made of cast iron I tell ya

If the wind breaks your crow bar call FIMA and expect no response in the first week of the storm. :)
