Robb,
        Signal processing is one option, are frequencies below 200Hz important? 
If the mic is 
being listened to by a human then surely they will know theres wind present or 
is that 
region of specific interest? 

Not quite the correct forum but heres a flat electret waterproof mic I recently 
made to test 
a construction concept.

Failing that strap on the spandex shorts e.g read US  5,808,243 and others to 
improve the 
art...
