Kite Distance 1 Hr.

Distance One Hour is how scored by how far you kite in one hour. Only a kite is allowed to propel oneself over the water. When starting your GPS recording, there is a 5 minute preparation period before the actual Distance One Hour starts counting. This means 0:05hr to 1:05hr is the relevant time period of your session that will determine your score.

To record a Freeride session on an iPhone or Android phone, start by opening the WOO App. Click on the My WOO icon (bottom bar, center) and choose “Go Kiting”. Hit “Activate Beacon & Start WOO Session”, click on the Phone checkmark and Start Your Session. You’re now recording a Freeride session! We encourage you to lock your phone screen, secure your phone in a dry bag, and tuck under your wetsuit while riding. When you’re finished, unlock the phone and Swipe to Save the session. Navigate back to the My WOO icon and you’ll now have a Session to Save, where a Photo, Description, Quiver, and Spot can be added. Once complete, your session is posted to WOO Worlds!
