About

See where you rank at your spot — free speed rankings for every session. WaterSession turns your Garmin into a free GPS speedometer for windsurfing, kitesurfing, wingfoiling, SUP and wakeboarding — and connects to MyWaterSessions.com, where every session becomes a live speed ranking for your spot. Website & rankings: https://mywatersessions.com Most apps just record that you rode. WaterSession shows you how you compare — at your spot, against friends and against your own personal best — and now how well your manoeuvres actually run. That's something the big trackers don't do. Works at ANY spot in the world: pick a listed spot or add your own by name — you instantly get its ranking, gallery and wind. No Garmin? You can also upload a FIT, GPX or TCX file on the website, so any GPS watch or app works too.
