What’s the Best Spot to Go Around Me?
How Explore+ Helps Locals, Newcomers, and Travelers Find the Right Water Spot
Ask ten people where to go on the water and you’ll get ten different answers — mostly because we’re not all starting from the same place.
Some of us know our home spot by heart, others are newer to the sport and still building confidence. Some might be traveling and trying to figure things out fast.
Yet we all end up asking the same question: What’s the best spot to go around me? Where are the best conditions for me right now?
Why that question means different things to different people
If you’re local, you often know where to go — but:
Conditions change
Time is limited
You want to mix things up
If you’re newer to the sport:
You may not know what’s safe or appropriate
You’re unsure which spots match your level
Asking around can feel intimidating
If you’re traveling:
You don’t know the unwritten rules
You don’t know where people actually go
You don’t want to waste a rare good session
Same question. Very different needs.
That’s the problem Explore+ is designed to solve.
Explore+: discovery that adapts to where you are
Explore+ helps you discover water spots around you — using real activity, local context, and community insight, not just pins on a map.
It works whether you’re:
At home
Just starting out
Or exploring somewhere new
What you can do with Explore+
1. Discover spots near you - Explore+ highlights places where people actually go on the water — based on real sessions.
2. Filter by sport - Wingfoiling, sailing, SUP, kayaking, and more — each sport reveals different patterns and places.
3. Explore with confidence - See where activity concentrates instead of guessing from generic maps.
4. Access Explore+ anywhere - Explore+ is available in the app and on the web, so you can explore spots at home, on the road, or right before heading out.
Local Experts: local knowledge, made accessible
Some knowledge can’t be captured by maps alone.
That’s why Explore+ includes hand-selected Local Experts:
Experienced riders, paddlers, and sailors
Active in their local area
Willing to connect with fellow community members
When browsing the map, you can:
See which spots have Local Experts
Access their contact details
Reach out with questions before heading out
Whether you’re unsure about:
Conditions
Access
Safety
Or simply where to start
Local Experts help bridge the gap between guessing and knowing.
Why this matters
Most people don’t need more information. They need clear signals they can trust.
Explore+ combines:
Real activity data
Sport-specific context
Local human knowledge
So you can spend less time figuring things out — and more time on the water.
The takeaway
The “best spot” isn’t universal. It’s:
Different for locals and travelers
Different for beginners and experienced riders
Different depending on the day
Explore+ helps you find the spot that makes sense for you, right now, where you are — with the confidence that comes from real activity and real people.
