ABOUT HOOLAN
We’re a small, self-funded team of wind and wave riders focused on building the best possible tracking and analysis experience for the kitesurfing, wingfoiling and windsurfing community - straight from your smartwatch.

With support from experts in GPS and physics, and a dedicated community of testers, we launched Hoolan in 2023 for Apple Watch and iPhone, then expanded to Garmin and Android in 2025.

We’re stoked with what we’ve achieved - pushing wearable tech to its limits to deliver the stats you need to track your progression and improve every ride. And we’re just getting started.

Hoolan is free to use, with no ads or subscriptions. Every download, review and donation is hugely appreciated and helps us keep building and improving Hoolan for the watersports community.
