Track every wind session from your wrist. 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.
