About PaddleReady

Built by paddlers. Honest about what it is.

PaddleReady started with a simple, recurring question on a Saturday morning: is today actually a good day to paddle? The answer was scattered across a marine forecast, a tide table, a wind app, and a regulations PDF. So we put it in one place — and made a point of being honest about what the app does and doesn't know.

Our mission

Give recreational paddlers — kayakers, canoeists, and stand-up paddleboarders — a fast, trustworthy read on the conditions that matter, the launches near them, and the rules where they paddle. Free, ad-light, and built around safe decision-making rather than adrenaline.

Safety-first, and honest about it

A weather app for people on the water carries real responsibility, and we take it seriously. PaddleReady is a planning and reference tool — it is not a navigation aid, not a substitute for NOAA marine forecasts or U.S. Coast Guard guidance, and not a safety or rescue system. We say that plainly, in the app and here, because the worst thing a tool like this could do is make someone over-trust it.

Free, with an honest Pro tier

The full conditions dashboard, the launch map, and the regulations screen are free, with no account required. PaddleReady Pro is an optional upgrade for paddlers who want offline caching, an ad-free view, priority support, and Trip Check-In. We won't gate safety information behind a paywall, and we won't pretend Pro is something it isn't.

Who builds it

PaddleReady is a product of Brainstorm Innovative Technologies, LLC, a small software company founded in 2016 and based in Brooksville, Florida. PaddleReady is owned and operated outright by the company — not a client project, and not a venture-backed growth machine. That independence is why we can keep the core free and the messaging honest.

Data & attribution. PaddleReady is built on public data from Open-Meteo, NOAA, the U.S. Geological Survey, OpenStreetMap (© contributors, ODbL), and sunrise-sunset.org. NOAA does not endorse this app. See the in-app Data Sources screen and our Privacy Policy for the full list.
