Kitesurfer September 20, 2008
Reviewer: K. Wiesen from NYC  
This is a handy little device I can keep in the pocket of my boardshorts. Since I am not too familiar with approximate windspeeds by "feel" (no previous sailing or other experience), this is/was a good way for me to build memory and put a "number" to the strength of the breeze. This helps to pick the right size kite for the conditions. The wheel/propeller gets stuck after the salt water drys, but is easily remedied by rewetting it. I recommend it to those with no experience with wind, or those having to choose the right kite size, and want a pocket device.

Great Tool! June 16, 2008
Reviewer: John V. Wright from Parker, CO  
Very good tool. Have used it on my days sailing and at work.  Easy to use and waterproof. The temp. function may not be quick and you must hold from the sides so not to read the heat from your finger. But in summary for the price can't beat it.
