OUR STORY ‘I bet I can jump higher than you.’ It’s that simple. A friendly competition between friends is poised to change the face of action sports. When WOO founders, Leo, Johnny and Ytzen realized they couldn’t accurately judge the highest jump while kiteboarding, and that no existing technology could possibly settle their bet (and reward the beers at stake), they did what any rational group of guys would do - they quit their jobs, abandoned their careers, and committed to building the gadget no one else could.

WOO YOU THIS IS BIG

Driven by passion and fueled by fun, the team at WOO has created the first ever on-board motion sensor for action sports. How high? How much hangtime? How many flips, turns, and spins? WOO captures the data behind the rush - it’s a revolutionary device that stores your stoke. ...And forever answers the question with a resounding ‘I jumped higher.’

OUR NAME Yehaaaa! Hell YEAH! WOO! When you're locked in and ripping, it's impossible to avoid. You invariably yelp out a hoot here, a holler there. We know that uncontrollable joy that riding brings, and at WOO, we embody it in everything we do. Whether you're a customer, an ambassador, or an employee, WOO is at your side, pushing you to go bigger, prodding you to have more fun, and boosting your stoke until you can't help but scream WOO!

BRAND OVERVIEW

BRAND VISION

Action + Technology + Passion

WOO sensor devices and software create the foundation for a global action sports community - driven by data and connected by sharable stoke.

It is impossible to describe the rush of a huge air, a deep barrel, or a new trick — the clarity of ripping down a mountain, a wave or a ramp at full speed. Flow is a concept thrown around by everyone from psychologists to stoners, and though no one describes it the same way, we all know how it feels. It feels fucking awesome and with WOO we can finally measure it.

BRAND MISSION To improve individual performance, in-person and global competition, and

Completely waterproof and the size of a USB stick, WOO tracks anything an

action sport athlete can dole out. Jumps, spins, flips, crashes and acceleration are all recorded. WOO syncs wirelessly to sport-specific iPhone apps offering immediate feedback on each and every session. Improve, compete, or just enjoy the satisfaction of screaming WOO and knowing it’s listening all the time. Unlike your dipshit friends who forget to look or tell you they went twice as high and it was always better the day you had to work...

BRAND POSITION WOO amplifies the intersection between performance and community. Today for kiteboarding, tomorrow for all of action sports.

MESSAGE STRATEGY WHO ARE YOU TALKING TO? Action sport athletes don’t just participate, they live, breathe and bleed the lifestyle. Whether it is surfing, kiteboarding, skateboarding, freeskiing or snowboarding, these individuals don’t dabble, they dive in headfirst, and they dive deep. Action sports are every second of every day, even if they’re not out having fun, these individuals are thinking about it, visualizing it, dreaming it — from pre-teen to middle-age (and beyond) WOO offers a whole new way to augment the action sports lifestyle.

WHAT’S YOUR POINT? WOO folds technology into the action sports lifestyle through an on-board

WHY SHOULD I CARE? You care because this is all you think about. Your sport is your life. You drop everything if there’s wind. You won’t shut up about the waves you scored pre-dawn. You can’t stop checking out those pictures from last week’s trip. WOO is the missing layer to your action sports lifestyle. Instead of fumbling with ‘how’ it felt you can now relive exactly ‘what’ it was. You can share your session, you can compete, you can compare, you can improve, and you can talk shit. WOO captures the data behind the rush - it’s a revolutionary device that stores your stoke.
