Live weather
Measured wind, not just forecast wind.
Wind measured by over 15,000 weather stations, with your spot's forecast right next to them: you know what's really blowing, and whether the model got it right.
- Over 15,000 stations. Local networks (MeteoSwiss, Holfuy, Pioupiou, FFVL…) are read every 2 to 10 minutes.
- 48 hours of history with the forecast of the model you pick laid on top: you see whether it matches reality.
- The model you prefer: MeteoSwiss, ICON, ECMWF, Météo-France… or automatic selection.
- The best window of the day, the hour-by-hour view, and tides and swell by the sea.
- Rideable spots from tomorrow to five days out, and Foehn and Bise over 7 days.

Session tracking
GPS tracking that speaks your sport.
Start tracking, slip your phone into your waterproof pouch and ride. When you are done, your session is analysed with the numbers of your discipline.
- A huge timer, distance and speeds in big type, on a dark screen that spares your battery.
- Press and hold to pause: an accidental tap stops nothing, and tracking resumes on its own.
- The live beacon: your loved ones follow your position and speed through a link.
- Jibes and tacks when kiting, time on foil when winging, runs and descent when skiing, climb rate when touring, splits when trail running.

Safety
Beta · experimentalIf things go wrong offshore.
Your loved ones know where you are within seconds, and the people coming to help are guided to you.
- Your emergency contacts, with a test message to check that everything gets through.
- SOS from your session: your position and a link to follow you live.
- The rescue centre: who has been alerted, who has read it, who is on the way.
- Rescue mode for the rider coming to help: an arrow, the distance, the route.
Experimental features, in beta. SOS goes through the internet: with no signal, it is sent when the connection comes back, as long as the app stays open. It does not replace a personal locator beacon (PLB) or a call to the emergency services.

What riders say
WindTracker, my new session buddy
With WindTracker, no more checking the weather around the clock and comparing spots on gut feeling. The configurable weather alarms do the job for me, all that's left is loading the car.
Once on the water, the app records everything on my phone or my GPS watch: speeds, jibes, jump height… Every session becomes a goldmine of info.
The stats shown afterwards are really great for tracking your progress and staying motivated.
Can't wait for the WindTracker community to grow, for more sharing between enthusiasts.
All my passions in a single app
What I appreciate most is having all my sporting passions in a single app.
I also really appreciate being alerted a few days in advance when the wind will suit my sports, on my favourite spots.
