CKS Live Wind is a dedicated live wind and forecast app for the CKS / Mandriola kite spot. It provides a complete wind overview directly on your Garmin watch, with live observations, recent history and short-term forecasts designed specifically for riders.

The layout is designed to adapt to different compatible Garmin display sizes while keeping the information clear and readable. CKS Live Wind is intended for kitesurfers and other wind-sport riders who want to check Mandriola conditions directly from their watch before and during a session. IMPORTANT CKS Live Wind requires a connected smartphone, Bluetooth connection, Garmin Connect running in the background and internet access. Live and forecast data are retrieved from the online CKS / Mandriola weather system. Data may not update when the phone is disconnected, Garmin Connect is unavailable or the internet connection is offline. The app does not measure wind using the Garmin watch itself and does not use GPS to calculate wind speed. CKS Live Wind is currently spot-specific and displays data from the configured CKS / Mandriola weather source. Weather and forecast information should always be considered indicative. Riders should personally evaluate actual local conditions and safety before entering the water.
