About this app

Slick helps paragliding pilots find flyable spots based on real-time weather conditions and personal preferences.

- Forecasts for 7 days ahead with hourly wind, gusts, and direction
- Customize your flying preferences: minimum/maximum wind speed, gust ratio, daylight window
- Wind direction matching against each spot's flyable directions
- Live wind data from Pioupiou and Holfuy weather stations
