## What is Downwind Runs?

Find your next downwind window. Downwind Runs brings route maps, wind and wave forecasts, activity tracking and local knowledge together for downwind foilers and paddlers.

Explore runs by country and region, compare the seven-day outlook, and view hourly wind and marine conditions. Save your favourites, record your activity, replay your track, and choose what you share with the community.

Help improve local routes by suggesting course, wind and access details. Coordinate plans with other riders and compare gated times on supported courses.

Forecasts and community route information are just planning aids. Check local conditions, access and hazards before heading out.


## Version history (last 4 releases)

### 1.0.3 — 2026-09-21

Wind windows now load reliably when forecast responses are slow or incomplete. New run lines appear as soon as start and finish are selected, submission choices use the dark theme, and timing gates are optional. Race replay remains available.

### 1.0.2 — 2026-09-20

Shared Events let a group add recordings after a race and watch them together. Organisers can import multiple GPX files and share a viewing link. The replay opens on the map; rider distance, average speed and five-second top speed sit below. Gate Times is separate from group replay, and navigation has the updated dark design.

### 1.0.1 — 2026-09-16

Fixed unreadable map cards on completed community runs. Run detail and replay maps now use consistent dark cards and controls with clearer text.

### 1.0 — 2026-09-15

No release notes.
