DriftCrew keeps water-sports crews on the map
A session-tracking app for kiteboarders and other water-sports crews, with live location sharing, alerts, session stats, and Apple Watch support.
- For
- Kiteboarders and their shore-side support crews
- Worth noticing
- MeshCore beacon tracking is explicitly labeled beta and “not yet something to rely on for safety.”
Field notes
The page lays out a crew workflow: invite riders and shore members, start tracking from an iPhone, then let the shore team watch locations and receive alerts about movement, signal, or route changes. Shared session links work on the web without the app, can include photos and videos, and expire after 30 days; riders appear under generic labels rather than real names. MeshCore beacons extend the map to phone-less people or objects, but the page labels that feature beta and says not to rely on it for safety.
