If you have a Blackberry, you may want to check out this Blackberry Kiter application. It allows you to log all your kite sessions and even better then that it gives you forecast data for all the spots you like to kite at. It also has another screen for NOAA weather stations to put that data all on one screen. You can email your sessions/locations to anyone you want as a way to share the stoke.

I probably should have mentioned that I created this program , first just for myself and some others at my kite spot liked it, so I added to it... Thanks for all the feedback, I have reposted a newer version of it that has a lot of added features andlowered the price to $10 - and paypal was trying to add shipping, which was also a mistake, everyone that paid more than that will be refunded

-Downloads buoy data direct from NDBC - much faster

-With any weather data highlighted, selecting "Session This" will open a new session log with that weather data, your last kite location, your last kite used, your last board used - allowing you to track your session without having to enter anything.

-forecast info includes % chance of rain

And, people have sent me the weather stations they use, here is the list, which is useful even if you don't use the program:

Buoy IDASTO3 - 9439040 - Astoria, OR
Buoy ID PORO3 - 9431647 - Port Orford, OR
Buoy ID CARO3 - Cape Arago, OR
Buoy ID CHAO3 - 9432780 - Charleston, OR
Buoy ID NWPO3 - Newport, OR

Buoy ID DESW1 - Destruction Is., WA

Buoy ID FTPC1 - 9414290 - San Francisco, CA
Buoy ID RCMC1 - 9414863 - Richmond, CA
Buoy ID 46026 - SAN FRANCISCO - 18NM West of San Francisco, CA
