WOO is the equivalent of Runkeeper for kiteboarding. By using an external sensor, you can record every session you do, without bringing your iPhone to the water.

More about WOO Sports

The Playful Company worked closely with the WOO team to create the accompanying iPhone app with the WOO sensor. Thijs consulted on a core gamification strategy to be used in the app. Goal of the gamification was to get advanced kiteboarders to jump higher and do more tricks, but also to motivate beginner kiteboarders to find new friends and new spots to kite.

“No more debates on who jumps the highest! Works as expected, I love it!”
