Know what changed

The stream brings new sessions, quiver updates from followed riders, followed brands and model families, forecast activity, rider and spot mentions from comments or photo captions, photos, and reactions into one readable feed, with mobile push notifications for the same visible updates.

📆

Plan from the forecast

Follow rider and spot activity, see which riders know a spot well, cache home spot context before weak-signal beach days, replay where sessions happened on the map, and turn forecast windows into bookings with the spot and day already filled in.

Jump anywhere fast

Search Anything gives quick keyboard access to riders, private chats, spots, gear, settings, and high-value product shortcuts.

What makes it different

One product model for the way water sports sessions really happen.

Generic sports platforms focus on distance and speed. Pétole is built for sports where the spot, the wind window, the setup, the crew, the forecast conversation, and the local scene matter just as much as the ride itself. That is why planning, memories, stats, and gear history all stay connected.

Spot pages worth sharing

Discover windsurf, kitesurf, wingfoil, parawing, surf, foil, and pumping locations with practical details, launches, spot intelligence, riders who marked the spot as home, activity hotspots, privacy-safe public session previews, owner-controlled public links for a single session, and missing-spot contributions from the public map.

Hotspot map over time

Replay recent months on the spots map and see session bursts reveal which places are active as the season moves.

📊

Stats beyond the activity file

Understand performance by rider, spot, activity, time, distance, tracklog-filtered speed, favorite places, regular buddies, gear usage, personal records, distance and speed leaderboard families, top-ten badges, and opt-in global rankings, then focus on a year or open the matching archive page.

🧰

Gear catalog and quiver memory

Browse water sports brands and models, compare detailed variant specs with inline field guidance, filter category specs like volume or sail range, keep your equipment organized with the right item photo, follow rider quiver additions, track new years and updates for favorite model families, transfer gear to another rider with validation, and share usage stats for gear items and models.

Search Anything

Open the quick search, type a few words, and move across spots, launches, riders, chats, brands, gear, help, settings, and app actions without hunting through menus.

New-rider guidance with progress

Use the in-app help section to move from discovering spots and weather to following a spot, booking a windy window, organizing your quiver, saving a first session, adding photos or track data, and following riders.

📸

Sessions that keep the full story

Record a foreground GPS track from the app, import GPX, TCX, or FIT files when you use another tracker, review track insights for speed runs, planing or glide, route coverage, wind-relative legs, stops, and turns, export GPX from saved sessions, and place photos back on the track map when their capture time matches the GPS log.

🛟

Trusted live sharing

When you choose it for a recording, selected trusted riders can spot the active share from rider navigation, open the rider profile or live map, follow a high-level point history and latest shared position, and receive missed-heartbeat, still-active, low-battery, and manual SOS alerts through Pétole notifications.

🔒

Respectful by design

Built for passionate riders, with explicit opt-in location sharing, revocable trusted access, and no dependence on generic social networks.

Screenshots

These screenshots come from the current logged-in product and highlight the everyday workflow: rich spot guides with launch directions, session memories with photos, recorded or imported tracklogs, track insights, stats and leaderboard, stream updates, private chats, forecast planning, and quick access through Search Anything.

Spot guide with launches and photos

Spot pages show practical launch information, directions, local photos, geolocated photo pins, facilities, maps, sessions, and context in one place.

Session with photos and tracklog

Each session can keep the map trace from foreground recording or GPX, TCX, or FIT imports, show track insights for best runs, planing or glide, route coverage, wind-relative legs, stops, and turns, export saved tracks as GPX, create a public link for people without accounts, and connect track-synced photo pins, gallery mentions, rating, gear, buddies, and conditions.

Stats beyond the activity file

Performance graphs connect time, distance, tracklog-filtered speed, spots, riders, activities, gear usage, top-ten leaderboard markers, distance and speed leaderboard families, rank-change records, yearly focus chips, and matching year or month history pages.

Why Pétole

Built beside the tools riders already use, not as another tab to babysit.

Weather apps, activity trackers, route planners, and group chats are useful, but each one carries only part of the session story. Pétole connects the forecast, spot, people, comments, gear, map-aware photos, and history into one water-sports model.

Weather apps

Great for raw wind models. Pétole turns a forecast into a rider day with followed spots, friend bookings, comments, and sessions.

Activity trackers

Great for speed and tracks. Pétole keeps the spot, setup, crew, track-synced photos, and gear model attached to the session memory.

Route planners

Great for navigation. Pétole is tuned for water spots, launches, local conditions, and the gear decisions riders actually make.

Group chats

Great for quick coordination. Pétole keeps planning and memories structured so useful context is still there next season.
