Wingsurfing

Scene & Events

- KiteReady interprets wind data from multiple models based on specific spots and skill levels, rather than generating its own forecasts, and displays reliability ratings.  
- The rating is based on wind strength, direction relative to the coast and gusts; safety criteria such as excessive wind, offshore winds or thunderstorms set the rating to zero.  
- Users select a level (beginner, intermediate, advanced), subscribe to validated spots worldwide via a free web app and receive green push notifications.
