Everything in Go Paddle

Built for paddlers, not runners with a paddle icon. All of it is free.

Tracker

Track every paddle.

  • Tap GO: live route on a satellite map, distance, time and speed
  • Hold to stop and hold to pause, so a bump never ends a paddle
  • A summary for every paddle with your fastest stretch and records
  • Run, walk, hike, bike and more, with paddling first
  • Your calendar, Water Weeks and Active Weeks streaks, and a weekly recap
  • Log a paddle by hand if you forgot to track it
Recording a paddle: time, distance and speed over a satellite map

Safety

Someone always knows.

  • Pick who can see you while you paddle
  • A private link that works only during this paddle
  • Set a back by time; we check with you first, then email them
  • Email only, from a no-reply address. Not an emergency service.
  • Free for every paddler
