Auto-Connectivity With Emergency Contacts – for all paddlers
Launched in 2018, PaddleLIVE® is fully automated should you get into difficulty on the water.
Automatic Alerts
If you stay out longer than planned or you go off course, PaddleLIVE® automatically notifies your chosen emergency contacts.
what3words Precision
Each alert includes co-ordinate and what3words location, making it simple for contacts or rescue services to find you — anywhere in the world.
Works Seamlessly on Apple Watch
PaddleLIVE® runs directly on your Apple Watch — so even if your phone stays ashore, you stay connected and safe throughout your session.
How PaddleLIVE® Works
PaddleLIVE® quietly monitors your session in the background — so you can focus on the water, not your phone. Here’s how it keeps you connected and safe:
Set Your Trip Duration
Before you launch, switch on PaddleLIVE® and choose how long you expect to be out. The timer begins automatically as you paddle.
Stay Notified — Fire a Flare
When you’re nearing your end time, PaddleLIVE® checks in. You can extend your trip — or, if you’re in difficulty, fire a digital flare.
Automatic Alert if You Don’t Respond
If you can’t reply, PaddleLIVE® instantly sends your PaddlePLAN® and what3words® location to your emergency contacts for fast assistance.
What you see:
Stay calm and in control. PaddleLIVE® keeps you updated and sends alerts only if you don’t respond.
What your emergency contact sees:
Your contact receives a secure PaddleLIVE® alert — with your route, coordinates, battery info, and last known update — enabling an efficient rescue.
PaddleLIVE® in Action
This isn’t just about technology — it’s about peace of mind. Whether you’re training solo, exploring new waters, or chasing sunrise sessions, the app keeps you safely connected to those who matter most.
Real paddlers have relied on PaddleLIVE® to alert loved ones automatically, even during unexpected delays or sudden weather changes. It’s your invisible safety net — always on, always there.
