Ronin Posted February 12, 2011 Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 Recommended to me were sailing, hang gliding and kiting books. However, nothing beats practical experience, I try and imagine the wind as a liquid, flowing over obstacles and terrain. Kind of works for me,,,, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orka Akinse Posted February 12, 2011 Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 On a serious note, I'm still saving my pennies to attend the wind reading course by the guy you know BD. Anymore details yet as to perhaps when he could fit us in? There was more than I asking last year about attending this course. ATB OA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
