The race, on your terms

Everything sits on one map, so a stage reads at a glance, on a large screen or in your hand.

  • Live GPS positions

    When an event is broadcasting, crews appear on the map at their latest GPS positions as the race unfolds.

  • Replays with a timeline

    Watch a stage again: play, pause, change the speed and move along the timeline to see how the race took shape.

  • Rankings, categories, favourites

    Follow the ranking and the gaps between crews, filter by category and keep your favourite crews in sight.

  • Wind, swell and currents

    Weather layers sit alongside the GPS tracks, so you can see the sea the crews were paddling into.
