Whether you're on a downwind run, mountain biking, or parawing session; always know where your crew is with a simple check of the app. REAL-TIME GPS TRACKING See every rider's live position on a shared map.

Users continue to have easy Alert button access along with ability to see their active session stats on their Watch. SAFETY ALERTS THAT MATTER • Get notified if someone stops moving • Alerts when a rider drifts out of range of the planned route • Alert button sends your location to the entire crew • Lost signal detection — know immediately if someone drops off • Watch and phone will pulse SOS when you trigger an Alert for confirmation SHORE TEAM MODE Add friends or family as Shore Team members. They can monitor from anywhere — live tracks, alerts, and positions — from the comfort of their home. If a rider ends up needing help they can trigger an Alert or let our 24/7 automated monitoring notify them when riders go out of cell signal, have stopped for an extended period, or gone way off course on a planned route.
