Team Total Distance

The Challenge
An Epic Weekend on the Water
The final Team Challenge will be a doozy - two days to record as much distance on your kite or wing. Each team's top five riders will set the score, pushing each other to go well-beyond a normal day at the beach. Simply record a GPS session with the WOO App for Smartwatch or Phone and you're in!
History
It Takes a Team
Total Distance is both inviting and grueling - a contest requiring a sound approach, team coordination, and a fierce internal monologue. In the past, this discipline has been run over nine days, allowing for teams to chase and be chased. This year, it's condensed to one weekend, inviting everyone in the WOO Community to put a score up.
Team Prize Pool

This year's top three teams will score a great prize from ION. 1st Place unlocks 2000 Euros in ION Shop Credit, perfect for a new harness, wetsuit, or storm coat for the northern winter ahead. 2nd Place unlocks 1000 Euros and 3rd Place wins a Suspect Duffel bag for each scoring member (they're heading somewhere warm this winter!)
How to play
Total Distance is the sum of all the distance you kited or winged during the contest window. For example, if you do three sessions, and you have a session with 5 KM, 10 KM and 12 KM, your Total Distance will be 27 KM. This score will rank you within your Team and contribute to the team score if it’s in the team’s Top 5.

Continue to Go Kiting and hit Activate Beacon & Start WOO Session. Then click on the Phone checkmark and Start Your Session. You’re now all set to go out riding and record a Freeride session!

If you want to record a Freeride session with the Apple Watch, please download the WOO app on your Watch. Now you can go to your Apple Watch, open the WOO app and start a session. It does not matter if you measure Jumps with the WOO, estimate Jumps with the watch, or do no jump measurement at all. Once you’re done with your session, please end and save the session on your Apple Watch. It will then automatically appear in your WOO app behind the “Upload Sessions” button.

First, you should double-check your device is compatible. You can find a full list by clicking HERE. To start a Freeride session with your Garmin, you need to authorize and connect your Garmin Connect IQ account to your WOO Account.

On the my WOO screen, click Upload Sessions -> Garmin -> Get Started Enter your Garmin Connect IQ login information and hit Save -> Save -> Agree Your account is now connected. If you have logged sessions already, they will be visible under Sessions From Garmin. You can always check the status of the Garmin connection by clicking on the Garmin logo once again. If everything went right, it will show a blue hook next to Connect with Garmin. Now you just need to download and use one of the WOO apps for your Garmin device and your sessions will automatically go to your WOO account after recording/connecting to your phone.
