Imite

Saves me time and frustration

Wind info at your fingertips!

IKitesurf has been fantastic with the additional meteorologist forecast not just computer models. It is worth your money if your on the water

Best Live Updates

Best in the game for life wind speed and direction updates.

Awesome!

Great app

Gold membership

I had difficulty seeing meters after getting new phone. The support team got back with me fairly quickly to easily resolve problem

I do count on this app for all my water sport activities.

Knowing wind and tide reports for all my sports saves me much unnecessary driving time. I do prefer the older "classic" wind reports.

Essential!!

One of my most used daily apps! iKitesurf lives on my Home Screen for quick access. The realtime wind readings give a clear picture of what’s happening now and the forecasts are phenomenally accurate.

Nice

Good

Excellent Support

The app is great & developer is fast to respond to any issues! Excellent.

Best app for wind sports

By far best app and must have for windsport enthusiasts. Using it for years with the alive wind data (subscription needed), and it's absolutely worth it

Thanks for maintaining sensors

Indispensable!

I couldn't survive without this app. It is incredibly accurate for my location in Maui. I check it multiple times a day, including at home when I'm deciding when to leave for the beach. And then again at the beach when I'm deciding what kite to pump up. I would LOVE a version for the Apple Watch!

Update: the recent removal of the WRF-WF forecast model for Maui is a devastating reduction to the value of this app. The replacement TRRM model is a very poor substitute. It consistently forecasts lower wind than actual and doesn’t learn from its constant under forecasting. I’m forced to rely on the Blend model. It is also prone to under forecasting during afternoon hours, but I can just mentally add 4-5 mph and get pretty close. Unlike the TRRM model, the Blend model isn’t constantly predicting a drop in wind speed to some low nominal level—which never materializes. In contrast to the forecast models, the actual current wind speed values remain extremely valuable.

11/7/25 Update: the update today broke the app for use on my iPhone SE.

1/21/26 Update: the technical issue mentioned above was fixed in a few days, and the app works great now. Also the new TRRM wind model has continued to gradually improve and now provides the most accurate forecast I know of for wind conditions at my kite beach. I use the app multiple times each day. Support for the Apple Watch was added several months ago and is very useful. At first, the app could be added as a complication on the watch face. That no longer works for some reason, but I can still launch the app from the app list. Hopefully it will be updated again to allow it to be used as a complication.

Can’t live without it! I check this app more than I blink in a day😅

My go to weather check

Ikitesurf is a part of my session. Why waste time driving in search of perfect conditions if they’re not there? And even better, when the conditions get good you know it’s time to go.
