PaddleSpot is a free community-powered app that helps paddleboarders, kayakers, and canoeists discover and review the best paddle spots across the U.S., starting with the Pensacola, Florida area. You can browse nearby launches, read real-time tips, and share your favorite locations.

Currently, PaddleSpot is available for iOS users. An Android version is planned based on user demand. Join the waitlist to get notified about the Android release.
