Man we've all been there!
I suggest you find something to do when the winds don't blow.
If you think 2 days of no wind is bad, wait for the summer :flaming:

I got plenty of wind but the non-stop rain kind of kills it.

bust out the kayak. I'm already preparing for a horrible summer, and I live on a lake.
I've learned life is 1 part kite sport 3 parts stuff non weather dependent.
unless you live in an area red in the avg windspeed maps.
Paragliding/BASE might help?

Starting in October last year we didn't have wind for a month and a half. Consider yourself lucky.
