Hoolan's unique statistics 

  • Hoolan offers both detailed jump statistics, and speed and distance gps statistics, so you can get an overall picture of your session.
     

  • You are able to record and track multiple wind sports - wingfoiling, kitesurfing, kiteboarding, kitefoiling, windsurfing and windfoiling initially - and have plans to expand out to more wind and water sports in the future.
     

  • We break your sessions down by board type, so that you can follow your personal bests and progression by each skill set. For example, twin tip vs directional (strapped and strapless) vs foil (strapped and strapless).
     

  • We break down your statistics into runs, transitions and jumps to allow analysis of each separate element, and are the only app that tracks your transition success %. We clearly visualise your tracks on a map (including jump take off and landing points, any stops and whether you're left foot forward or right foot forward), so you can really relive your session.
     

  • We offer free exports of your data for import into other platforms, such as Strava. 

Session type - kite/ wing/ sail and board, eg. kiteboarding (twintip), strapless kitesurfing (directional) etc.

Accuracy

Accuracy you can rely on

This is an absolute priority for us and we have rigorously tested and tweaked our jump algorithms with kitesurfers, wingfoilers and windsurfers of all abilities. Detecting and measuring jumps requires complex calculations and, whilst no app can ever guarantee 100% accuracy, we have gone to great lengths to ensure our results are as accurate as possible. 

When it comes to speed calculations, whilst we can only work with the gps data we are provided with by the watch, we are confident that our speed algorithms have minimised data inaccuracies as far as possible.  Where we detect errors in the data, we mark the track on the map in grey, and also remove any speed and distance statistics logged in that period so that your statistics aren't compromised.

 

This means you can accurately track your progression, and that leaderboards (when introduced) will be meaningful, without impossible top speeds.
 

Tracking made easy

Not only do most modern smartwatches now have the hardware capabilities to accurately record your session data, but they offer an unbeatable tracking experience, particularly when on the water.

 

This is why we have focussed on tracking using smartwatches only. We have harnessed all the usability features that Apple Watches have to offer, as well as adding some extra ones of our own, to make the tracking experience as easy and as smooth as possible. Once you've tracked on a watch, you'll never look back!

Add a Hoolan complication.jpg

A Hoolan complication gets you straight to the Hoolan recording screen with one tap. It's super simple to set up and makes tracking on your watch even more of a breeze.

Action Button configuration.jpg

Configure the Action Button on your Apple Watch Ultra to get straight to the Hoolan recording screen without touching the screen.

Use our 'Fast Finish' - double press your side button and crown at the same time to end your session! So much easier than struggling to touch the screen with wet fingers.

Quick Start usability feature.jpg

'Quick Start' - once you've recorded a session, Hoolan's watch app will remember and store your most recent kit combination and put it at the top of the list for you to reuse and save time on your next session.
