at "Pigsbay" spot and I have the leaderboard<br />

of that spot for today, yesterday,<br />

last month, current year, since the beginning...<br />

I can immediately extend the<br />

leaderboard to the other spots on the<br />

island of Tenerife, to Spain, Europe, the<br />

world... with the same parameters of<br />

time (today, yesterday, current month,<br />

year, since the beginning).<br />

Whoever uploads the WOO App, even<br />

without having the device can see<br />

these data on the App, whereas you<br />

need to have the PIQ to create an account<br />

and enter the PIQ world.<br />

One other nice thing to highlight is the<br />

automatic delivery to your email address<br />

of the "badges". In other words,<br />

whenever you improve a Record you'll<br />

receive an email congratulating you<br />

for the improvement with some nice<br />

instances of what you just did. So, for<br />

example, when you'll jump 2 meters<br />

high you will have a customised report<br />

with your profile photo where you<br />

are taller than an English bus, if you go<br />

over 4 meters then you’ll be taller than<br />

an elephant and other funny things<br />

that I don't want to spoil but that you'll<br />

like when you get them.<br />

Furthermore, on a daily basis, if you<br />

are in the first 15, you automatically<br />

get the leaderboards of the spot, nation,<br />

continent, world... This way every<br />

day it's a competition, and you'll be extremely<br />

satisfied to have taken part to<br />

a "global" competition.<br />

Lastly, it must be highlighted the option<br />

by the WOO to filter data and<br />

above all add them to videos through<br />

the WOOvie Editor https://woosports.<br />

com/kite/woovie/Editor, currently<br />

only for Mac.<br />

5 – COMMUNITY<br />

The WOO was released a year earlier<br />

than the PIQ, therefore the first and<br />

most known, also sponsor of several<br />

editions of the Red Bull King of the Air.<br />

So, it's not a surprise that it's the most<br />

used device with a community of over<br />

16.000 users with a daily strong expansion,<br />

against the just 3.000 of the<br />

PIQ.<br />

The WOO has the option of liking and<br />

comment others' sessions and this is<br />

a great plus because this way anyone<br />

can interact with the Pro he/she is trying<br />

to match or simply with the beach<br />

mates, exchanging thoughts straight<br />

away. The PIQ also has this option but<br />

is less straightforward because it’s<br />

necessary to install an extra App by<br />

North, therefore exiting the main App.<br />

With the WOO it's easy to discover new<br />

spots for jumping and check the leaderboard<br />

of the single spots also on the<br />

web http://explore.woosports.com/.<br />

Also, a mention to the option to create<br />

"customized" rankings with just<br />

a hashtag # in the description of the<br />

session.<br />

Therefore, say you are a group of 5<br />

friends and you want to compete<br />

against each other, you just need to<br />

put #beerpals for example when entering<br />

the session, and you'll have<br />

rankings just for your own group, hav-
