Track both your jump and GPS data on your Garmin, boost the stoke on the water with real-time stats as you ride, and dive into tailored performance metrics on Hoolan’s Apple and Android phone apps, that will keep you motivated and pushing to improve!

TRACK JUMPS & GPS Depending on your watch model, Hoolan will track your jump data as well as your GPS speed and distance data: https://www.hoolan.app/garmin/garmin-compatibility REAL-TIME STATISTICS Accurate jump and GPS statistics on your watch: max jump height, last jump height, max speed, current speed, heart rate, distance, local time and elapsed time. CONFIGURABLE WATCH SCREEN Choose the stats that are important to you and where on the screen you'd like to see them. SUPER QUICK DATA TRANSFER Once in bluetooth range, the data recorded on your watch syncs quickly to your phone where you can dive into your performance stats on either our Apple or Android apps. TRACK MULTIPLE WIND SPORTS KITE: Kiteboarding (twintip), Kitesurfing (directional) strapped/strapless, Kite foiling strapped/strapless, Kite landbuggy, Kite landboarding, Snowkiting (kite snowboarding, kite skiing and kite skating) WING: Wing SUP, Wing foiling strapped/strapless, Wing snowboard, Wing ski, Wing skate. WINDSURF: Windsurfing strapped/strapless, Windfoiling strapped/strapless. See your personal bests and progression for each activity type. LOG & PROGRESS Keep a log of all your wind and watersports sessions - spots, wind and weather, kit, dates and times, achievements and performance statistics. Compare sessions, view progression over time, write notes, and share with friends. ADVANCED PERFORMANCE STATISTICS See your ‘best in sessions’ and ‘personal bests’: Jumps - height, airtime, airspeed, takeoff speed, tack & totals. Runs - distance, upwind gain, downwind gain, max speed, max speed over 100m, max speed over 500m, tack and stops. Transitions - success rate, avg speed, max speed, entry & exit speed, transition time, tack and stops. IN-DEPTH ANALYSIS Go deeper into your stats and analyse the data for every run, transition and jump. JUMP DETECTION & ALERTS Choose which activities you’d like to record jumps for, and save battery if you’re not jumping. If you’re boosting big, choose to only be alerted when you’ve jumped over a certain height threshold. QUICK START Once you have recorded a watersports session on Hoolan, your most recent activity types will be saved for you to quickly reuse when you next record a session. PRE AND POST SESSION Hoolan detects when you’re properly riding, and everything before and after is put into pre or post session data and won’t count towards your stats. This means you can start recording as you’re setting up, which gives the GPS time to warm up and get your accurate location, as well as giving you time to calibrate your watch if you’re jumping. ACCURACY We use doppler speed accuracy to calculate our speed and distance data, and our jump algorithm has been rigorously tested by our dedicated team of testers. BATTERY If the battery on your watch runs out, all your data up until that point will be saved. WATCH NOT COMPATIBLE? If your watch isn’t compatible with our app, you can still record using the Garmin native activities on your watch and access your tailored wingfoiling/ kitesurfing/ windsurfing stats on our Hoolan phone app by connecting your Garmin and Hoolan accounts. https://www.hoolan.app/garmin-integration Full details on our Garmin app can be found here: https://www.hoolan.app/help/garmin-help
