Kami saw your discuss on the Epic tread, it's pretty funny ... I think on kiteforum is more treads about the wind speed measured on the beach during session ... I have few videos and pictures showing the wind speed and I'm ridding ... some of them are under 5 knots .. but I would never claim that I rode under or even little over 5 knots ... yeah I guy is right his friend's wind meter showed him 3 - 8 knots.. but he was probably standing back to wind with wind meter in a front of him ...

or he was sitting behind the sand dune .. who knows ... it's funny that he said he didn't even feel the wind in his face ...
everyone who rides know what is 3 knots .... claiming rides in 3 knots with gust to 8 ... I don't know .. sounds crazy ...
wind meter or anemometer is just device to check the approximate wind conditions ... at the particular place, time etc.
this theme is just too difficult ... everyone has own right and thought ... but the right is somewhere in the middle
I'll will post the picture anyway
