THE community app for kitesurfers, wingfoilers & watersport lovers – spot by spot! Want to know where the wind is blowing and who's on the water? Meet up for a spontaneous session? Discover new spots and get to know the locals? Let's go! With Kaieno you see what's happening at your spot right now: live wind, who's on the water and when the next session is on. No more chaos across ten group chats – everything that matters in one place, for your area. WIND & SPOTS Current wind for every spot in your area – with a clear rating: on, borderline or light. See at a glance whether it's worth heading to the water. LIVE MAP Who's on the water right now? The live map shows the active spots around you and who's out there. Use the filters to search by level, discipline and interests and find people who match you. SPOT GUIDE New to an area – at home or on holiday? The spot guide shows you the launch area, wind direction, hazards, rules and the most important locals. Everything you need to know before you hit the water. COMMUNITY FEED Share your session, ask questions, offer help or find someone for the next downwinder. Post, comment and like – your local community in one place. EVENTS & SESSIONS Afternoon sessions, lessons, after-kite on the beach or downwinders – the event calendar shows what's coming up, and you join with one tap. Never miss a good wind day again. COMMUNITY GROUPS Every area has its own groups: introductions, lost & found, rideshares and more. Already have a community or want to start a new group? Just send us an email! SCHOOLS, RENTALS & REPAIRS Find the right kite school, the nearest rental or a repair shop right at the spot – kept up to date by the community. PROFILE The more you fill in your profile, the clearer the picture others get of you – and the better your chances of finding people on your wavelength. Level, disciplines, gear and your spots. CHAT Found someone you click with? Send a message directly and talk about the next session, gear or anything else. STORIES Show how it was at the spot today: photos and videos as stories – with wind stickers and polls. APPLE WATCH With the Kaieno app for Apple Watch you tap "I'm on the water" right on your wrist and start your session. Optionally, auto check-in checks you in and out at the spot – only if you explicitly turn it on. YOUR LOCATION… …is NOT visible to other users by default! You alone decide whether your approximate location is shown on the map or who you share it with in a message. And if you don't feel like meeting new people, you can simply hide your profile. WORLDWIDE From Tarifa to Lake Garda, Egypt, South Africa, Brazil and Cape Verde – Kaieno knows the big kite spots and switches automatically when you travel.
