"As a kiteboarder, I live and die by the wind. The Superforecast and real-time wind alerts are absolute game-changers for me. I no longer waste hours driving to the coast only for the wind to die down; the app tells me exactly when to grab my gear and head out. It is easily the most reliable tool in my kit."

"Safety is my priority when taking my family out on our sailboat. Windfinder provides the granular data on wave periods and tide coefficients that standard weather apps simply don't offer. Even with cold, wet hands on deck, the interface is incredibly easy to navigate and the data is consistently spot-on."
