Stop drowning in wind data. Most weather apps give you numbers. Breeza gives you an answer. Tell Breeza your weight, your kite size, your board, and your skill level — once. Then open the app, pick your time window, and Breeza finds the nearest rideable spot and tells you: yes, go. Or: not yet, here’s why. HOW IT WORKS • Breeza pulls wind and forecast data for kitesurf spots near you • It runs your personal profile (weight, gear, level) against the conditions • It gives you a clear, honest recommendation — rideable, marginal, or no BUILT FOR REAL RIDERS Whether you’re a beginner who needs 15–20 knots of side-offshore wind on a big kite, or an advanced rider hunting the storm-swell window — Breeza calculates a kiteboarding forecast for you. No generic “light / medium / strong” buckets. Your gear. Your weight. Your kite size. SPOT FINDER Not sure which spot to head to? Breeza ranks your nearest kitesurf spots by rideable conditions for your setup — so you spend less time checking and more time riding. HONEST BY DESIGN Breeza gives you a wind forecast-based recommendation. Conditions can change. Always assess the spot yourself and never override your own judgment. *Breeza is a planning tool, not a safety guarantee.* YOUR DATA, YOUR RIDE • Works with your actual gear, not generic buckets • Saves your profile so you never re-enter your details • Rate sessions after you ride — makes future recommendations smarter --- Get on the water faster.
