This service is flat out awesome and most of us think so.
We are just trying to fine tune it and make it a success.
, not bitching, just fine tuning. I know I feel that way, as do others, with criticisms on here.
Just trying to fine tune it. It will take a few weeks.

is a great place to say "heading out", etc., as Tony mentioned. People that want to hear that, can hear it on there.

14:12 @ EB. ENE 15 knots. 12 kites in sky. Skies somewhat overcast.
All in all, I can't see a better service than TextMarks for kiters for getting out real time REAL (not iMight) info.
I anticipate that this approach will spread quite quickly through kiting communites across the entire country once word gets out (much like Kevin Kearney's video... just not as fast and with more positive effect).
I think our little community may be one of the first working with it (maybe not.. but I think so), so we are the guinea pigs. Oinkey.
