WGG has a real Apple Watch app — start a session, and get speed, distance, jump height, jump count, air time, pump count and heart rate automatically. No phone needed on the water. Prefer Garmin? Pair the WGG Connect IQ app for the same automatic tracking. Built for kiteboarding, wing foiling, windsurfing, snowkiting, landboarding and pump foiling. TRACK YOUR SESSIONS Speed, distance, jump height, jump count, air time and pump count, recorded live and synced automatically. No compatible watch? Log a session by hand instead. BUILD YOUR QUIVER Log your kites, wings, boards, sails and foils. Mark your go-to setup for each discipline and it fills in next time you upload. COMPARE & COMPETE See how your sessions stack up on the Show Off Wall. Follow riders, browse the feed, and tick off every spot and discipline you've ridden. FIND THE WIND Forecasts for thousands of spots worldwide, with wind direction, access, hazards and skill level for each one. RUN AN EVENT, OR JOIN ONE Browse what's on near you, or start your own in a couple of taps — no club, no committee. Share the link, and every session your riders log inside the window lands on the event board automatically. Nobody types a score. LEARN FROM A LOCAL PRO See the courses instructors and schools are running at your spots, who is teaching each one, and ask for a place without leaving the app. Not interested in lessons? Turn courses off and your spot pages stay as they were. TEACHING? RUN IT FROM YOUR POCKET Instructors, schools and shops get their own screens. Create a course, price it and share it. See your month, your week or your day at a glance — and the dates nobody is down to teach yet. Invite instructors with a link, say who is teaching what, and watch the hours and takings split by person. Answer enquiries, list the spots you work at and what you charge. No laptop. KNOW WHAT YOU ARE OWED What you have billed and what is still outstanding, by month, by course, by category and by instructor. Mark a rider as paid in one tap. PLAN YOUR NEXT TRIP Find the best time of year to visit a spot, and plan a road trip across several destinations. NEVER MISS A SESSION Set a wind alert for one spot or a whole search radius, and get told the moment conditions clear your threshold. ASK GUSTY Not sure which spot suits the forecast? Ask WGG's built-in assistant about any spot — wind direction, access, hazards, skill level. Sign in with Apple, Google or email — no password, just a one-time link. WGG never handles payment. Lessons and events are arranged directly with the instructor or organiser. ## Is WGG safe? Not enough ratings yet to assess WGG. ## Is WGG legit? WGG has limited verification signals.

Take-off speed on Apple Watch jumps. A reminder if the phone keeps recording after you stop riding. Battery check on the Record screen. Jump recordings now include the kite’s sideways pull. ### 1.6.15(2) — 2026-10-22 Downwinder journeys - Plan a multi-day downwinder from our routes, or customize one and create your own. - Expedition mode on the Apple Watch and on the iPhone: an arrow to the next stop, the distance and your arrival time. Each leg is saved to your trip. - A map page on the phone while you ride a leg: the coast, where you are, and places to land nearby. - On a long leg, send what you rode so far from the watch to the phone on a break; WGG joins the parts into one session. - Pick a crew for your trip: only they see where you are, only while you ride a leg. If no position arrives for 15 minutes they get one "No news" alert. "I need help" reaches them once, with your last position and the local emergency number. WGG is not a rescue service. Your gear - Which kite? Pick the gear you rode straight from the notification, or on your watch when you save. Share - Video overlay of one jump: a transparent picture with its height, airtime and curve, to put on your video. - Session picture: transparent background, and numbers at the top, middle or bottom. Your sessions - % landed for jumps and manoeuvres, and Coach on the iPhone. - Personal best banner on the session. - How far upwind and downwind you went (twintip, windsurf, windfoil). - Spot Stats with jump records by month (signed in). - "Mine" on the kite size table: the kite from your quiver that fits. - Follow a rider with a QR code, and add your Instagram handle. - Apple Watch: jumps are no longer cut short before the landing. - Session cards: badges no longer squeeze, and the numbers line up. ### 1.6.14(1) — 2026-10-19 • Record a session with your iPhone: Record tab, phone in a pouch, Lock Screen shows time, speed and your last jump. • Apple Watch: your sessions go straight to WGG after you stop, like on Garmin — no more “ready to publish” step. Your ride also appears with its map in Apple Health. • Speed in your profile unit (knots, km/h or mph) on your watch, with its own Speed setting. • Your place on every leaderboard, with a Riders filter. • Session times in the spot’s local time. • Device shown on session cards; Share a picture or a link. • Report a problem on any of your sessions. ### 1.6.13(2) — 2026-10-17 Added Jump Bar chart. Added Jump curves. Added rotations spread. Added Satellite view and several other minor improvements and bug fixes. Jumps are now getting closer to reality. Still some improvements ongoing.
