Crew riding together at sunset

    CREWLOVERS — Find your Crew, ride together

    Kiting alone? Not anymore. CrewLovers shows who's at the spot, matches you with the right riders, and gets you on the water together — safely.

    See who's at the spot, join sessions, plan downwinders and ride safer with local kiters. Join the CREWLOVERS Beta and help shape the social layer of GoSalty.

    WHY THIS WORKS

    Our edge — sport data + personalisation

    Because GoSalty already knows your profile — skill, quiver and travel style — CrewLovers doesn't just show people nearby: it matches you with the right ones for better sessions.

    HOW IT WORKS — 3 FAST STEPS

    Simple flow — from discovery to session in seconds

    1

    See who's around

    Opt-in visibility, set your radius and see nearby riders, friends and sessions instantly.

    2

    Match instantly

    Optional AI matching gives a short compatibility preview (skill mix, mutual refs, planned intensity) so solo travellers join with confidence.

    3

    Ride together

    Join or host sessions, RSVP, share ETA and plan multi-day crews with shared logistics and expense splitting.

    AI matching is optional and shows a short compatibility preview so you can decide safely.

    CORE PROBLEMS WE SOLVE

    The real frustrations riders face — and how CrewLovers fixes them

    No one to ride with

    Nearby Riders feed + friend sync.

    Join sessions in real time — more water time, less guesswork.

    Hard to find compatible matches (solo travel)

    AI Crew Match + Solo Swipe (opt-in) by skill, quiver & vibe.

    Ride with people who fit your level and travel style.

    Messy coordination

    Session Threads with RSVP, ETA share and pinned kit lists.

    On-time sessions and fewer missed meetups.

    Low trust meeting strangers

    Mutual refs, partner-verified badges and attendance history.

    Safer joins and higher confidence to meet new people.

    Group travel logistics are painful

    Travel Crew with shared itinerary, role tags and expense splitting.

    Stress-free trips and clear responsibilities.

    Privacy stops people opting in

    Time windows, radius control and friend-only modes.

    You control exposure — match safely and on your terms.
