        Normally you just need to click on Kite/SW spots in the menu. Kite spots should appear.

            In addition to what @idefix37 just wrote you can change things on the webpage version of Windy and it automatically appears in apps on Android or iOS. At the bottom right corner of the screen, the kite icon may already be on your Quick Menu.

            If it isn't there, click the More Layers and you get a list of icons you can have on your Quick Menu. You are allowed 7 icons. If you already have 7 icons, then you will have to turn one off before selecting the kite icon. Everything saves when you close the menu.

              I guess for 2020 windy does not support kite sizes anymore. Or I do not know how to activate it. Because now it shows just the wind and gust speed in the spot.

                Hi, you can still see kite sizes on the map -

                  @Korina I can't see the kite SIZE, only the kite spot icon. I also can't see any place for entering the weight, which is essential to kite size calculation. What am I missing? Thanks in advance

                      That is very strange as my friend with Windy on his Samsung phone had kite sizes and the ability to add weight.

                        Which app is your friend using? This is the Windy.com website and app, with a red logo. But there is another Windy app with a blue logo that has nothing to do with this one.

                          I would like to add three kitesurf/windsurf spots in our city. Ceuta, Spain. How is it done?

                            @jlpmarin Hello, kite spots are available as an overlay in the bottom right corner (desktop) or in the side menu (app) - Screenshot 2022-06-17 at 9.16.00.png

                              @korina Thank you. I know it, but how can it add three new spots?

                                @jlpmarin Adding new spots is not possible.
