I'm an independent maker who designs the hardware, the 3D-printed enclosure, and every line of firmware myself. W2Kite started as a personal project — I was tired of checking 4 apps before every kite session.
After months of prototyping and testing on real beaches, I'm ready to bring W2Kite to the kitesurf community. This isn't a corporate product — it's a passion project built by someone who rides, for people who ride.
