The GPS tracking & analysis app for wingfoiling, windsurfing, kitesurfing, sailing and 10+ more watersports. Wingfoiling, windsurfing and kitesurfing is more than sport – it's a feeling. But back on the beach, your impression can be deceiving. WindsportTracker shows you objectively how well you really performed – with precise GPS data and algorithms refined for over 10 years specifically for watersports. RECORDING & IMPORT: • GPS recording via iPhone or Apple Watch – works offline without cellular connection. • File import: Import sessions from other devices as GPX, FIT, TCX or SBP files. • Track editor: Trim the start or end of your track – e.g. when you forgot to stop recording after your session. ANALYSIS & PROGRESS: • Maneuver detection: Automatic detection of tacks, jibes, power jibes and 360s. Compare your success rate on starboard vs. port to identify and train your weak side. • Speed analysis: Top speed, average and peak speeds for 2s, 5s, 10s, 500m, 1NM and alpha runs. Perfect for speed sailors and regattas. • Planing & flight time: See how long and how far you were planing or flying vs. in displacement mode – whether on a foil or classic planing. • Wave ride stats: Number, length and type of your wave rides – from your best wave to your longest ride. • Long-term progress: Track your development over weeks, months and seasons. As a beginner, see how you get on the plane or on the foil faster. As an advanced rider, watch your power jibes and time on the foil improve. • Statistics: How many days were you on the water – total, per year, per month? How many jibes, power jibes, failed maneuvers? • Session notes: Rate each session and record gear settings, conditions or insights as notes. GEAR & EQUIPMENT: • Document sails, foils, boards, kites and wings. • Compare: Which setup gives you the best jibe rate? Which board gets you planing or flying fastest? Which foil works best in which conditions? • Helps with gear purchases too – see objectively which rental equipment performed better. SHARE & EXPORT: • Session screenshot: Create an image of your session and share it directly on Instagram, WhatsApp or other social media channels. • Data export: Export sessions as GPX or SBP. • Session logbook: All your sessions sorted and grouped by year and month. SUPPORTED SPORTS: Wingfoil, Pumpfoil, Windsurfing, Windfoil, Kitesurfing, Kitefoil, Sailing, Land Sailing, SUP, SUP Foil, Parawing, E-Foil – each sport with its own algorithms for maneuver detection and speed profiles.
