In this episode we talk about:
- The origin story: a side project about three years ago off Siargao, then Maui, and Kai pushing it from foil-only to every watersport
- The Today screen in wind or surf mode, and spot pages that read like a forecast article
- Live friend tracking from the Darwin soft launch and Maui downwinders, including Maliko runs
- Sport-specific session metrics: wave counts, parawing stash tracking, crash impact, and gear tagged to each session
- Auto-built downwind runs with instant leaderboards, plus the games and session replays
- Kai AI gear recommendations and the gear garage — what to pack for a trip like Mauritius
- Events and groups as a cleaner alternative to closed WhatsApp chats, including a look at Corzon Foil Festival
- Private pins and friend-only sharing for secret spots
- The safety beacon: Apple Watch, SOS, driver check-ins, and pings to nearby Venturi users
- The name that almost became Coconuts, the parawing giveaway, and the features they will not spoil yet
