Wake Thieving, or Borrowing a Boat’s Wake

wake-thieving.org Observed source

Editorial interest 78/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A German-language landing page for an unusual foiling practice and the open-source app that measures each wake-powered run.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-14 issue.

Field notes

The project separates the public explanation from the operating app: wake-thieving.org names and describes the practice, while pumpfoil.org handles sign-in, session storage, and analysis. The page says acceleration data produces measures including pumps, cadence, glide phases, and speed, rather than relying on rider estimates. It lists compatibility with Garmin, Apple Watch, Wear OS, Amazfit, Polar, COROS, Suunto, Xiaomi, and phones, and identifies the source as AGPL-licensed.
