RUSH Wind Meter WTF

Postby stokes » Mon Jun 05, 2006 12:19 pm

Why does the Penny's meter and the Stockton meter differ so much?

Which should I pay the most attention to, or do they both suck?

And finally does the Toole airport reading make a difference?

Thanks to whomever may have some knowledge -

Stokes,

Stockton meter is in town and Pennys is a mile or 2 south of town so I think it gets a cleaner reading, I compare the two and go off the average. I check rush valley, ut on accuweather.com to make my final call. I dont think the tooele air part makes a diffrence, check the perdicter for rush. I hope this helps you dogg......call me before you go...I got a new board im itchin to ride.

I think the penny's reading is more accurate for rush unless it's blowing fron the NW as you have a wind shadow on the lake from south mountain that does not affect penny's. Ry- What kind of board did you get? Did you go to Lincoln Sat. evening? We had a good session at Rush on Sat. and it looks like it came in At Utah lake around 5pm.

jason- i got the new litewave stealth 130, ya we rode lincoln till dark I jumped the dyke/road by the dock, the wind was sweet rode my 17m fuel, sals kite popped way out in the bay, I had to talk a drunk redneck(Randy Johnson) into going out and getting him( those party barges dont take the rollers to well, one of the rollers capsized the boat and he lost his fishin tackle). all in all it was a great time showin off for all the boaters. Thanks to Randy Johnson for getting Sal and the beers......im thinkin lincoln tonight....
