The wind app built by downwinders, for downwinders. Live wind you can trust, the kite size for YOUR body, and the first real safety system for riding point-to-point — your position live in your safety contact's browser, no app needed on their end. If you've ever chased the wind to Cumbuco, Taíba, or Jericoacoara — or you're planning the trip of your life — this is the app that rides with you. ONE WIND TRUTH Live wind, gusts, and direction fused from forecast models and nearby stations — the same number on every screen, source always visible. No more three apps giving three answers while you decide which kite to pump. KITE MATCH — YOUR SIZE, NOT A GUESS Personalized kite-size calls from your weight, your level, and the live gust spread. When it's gusty, it tells you to size down — like a local would. DOWNWIND, START TO FINISH This is what we're known for. Curated corridor routes with launch, landing, safe exits, and risk zones mapped by riders who actually did them. A pre-flight safety checklist. Live GPS with distance, duration, and speed — and with background tracking, the ride keeps recording with your phone locked in your pouch. THE SAFETY LINK — SHARE YOUR RIDE LIVE Create a time-limited link and your transfer driver, your family, or your safety contact watches your live position in any browser. Nothing to install on their side. Built for the Cumbuco→Taíba run and every downwind service like it. You set the duration; the link dies on its own. APPLE WATCH Start, track, and finish your downwind from your wrist. Your phone stays in the pouch. 4K RIDE REPLAY Finish and get a cinematic replay — your line drawn over satellite, speed zones, stats counting up. Export in 4K, post it, make the group jealous. REAL RIDERS, REAL KNOWLEDGE See how many riders are on the water at your spot right now (opt-in, spot-level only — never your exact location). Read hazard notes and local tips from people who actually ride there: which landing to avoid on a south swell, when the thermal really fills in. 7-DAY FORECAST Hour-by-hour bars, gust overlay, and an honest "best day this week" — plan the strike mission, not just tomorrow. RIDER PASSPORT Sessions, distance, top speed, safety record, progression. Kite school lessons sync in automatically. Your profile is cloud-backed — delete the app, change phones, everything comes back. FIND A SCHOOL Verified kite schools with certifications, languages, and booking — matched to the spot you're viewing. GO PRO when you're ready: wind alerts the moment your spot fires, the full downwind route planner with risk scoring, unlimited session history, and route sharing. Monthly or annual, cancel anytime. Built by riders in Ceará, the wind capital of the world. Works at every spot on Earth. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
