Mobile App Prototype

We created a prototype mobile app to answer the single question on a kitesurfer’s mind when they are not on the water kitesurfing: Can I Kite?

The Challenge

Combine real-time weather date with the weather forecast and a unique set of conditional rules specific for each individual kite spot (location) provided by Hanglos.nl.

The Solution

a single screens that not only superimposes actual weather date with weather forecasts including precipitation, wind and general weather type, but also gives the kiteboarder advice on weather the conditions are good to go for a specific kitesurf location based on which wind direction, wind speed and weather are safe and acceptable for the location and the skill level of the kitesurfer.
