What is Wind2Speed?

OBJECTIVE: To provide live wind data from wind-sport locations to wind-sport enthusiasts.

Welcome, wind-sport enthusiasts! Wind2Speed is a dedicated service providing real-time, hyperlocal wind information for your adventures. We install, maintain, and share data from our own weather stations located at prime wind-sport spots across South Africa.
