About this app

KiteOn gives you a simple green / yellow / red traffic light that tells you if conditions are right for YOUR kitesurf session — based on your level, your kite size, and your spot. A smarter alternative to scrolling through raw wind forecast data on Windy or Windfinder.
No more guessing. Open the app, check the light, go ride.
HOW IT WORKS
KiteOn analyzes 8+ weather parameters simultaneously — wind speed, gusts, gust ratio, wind direction, swell, water temperature, visibility, and thunderstorm risk — and scores them against your personal profile. The result: one clear traffic light for kiteboarding.
🟢 Green — Conditions match your level. Go ride.
🟡 Yellow — Rideable, but with caution. Check the details.
🔴 Red — Not your day. Stay safe.
PERSONALIZED FOR YOU
