Our Story: For Wind Junkies, By Wind Junkies

It all starts with a feeling...

The buzz of a promising forecast, the itch to explore a new piece of coastline, the shared stoke on the water after a perfect session.

We get it. We’ve spent our lives chasing that feeling.

But we also know the frustration: endless hours spent scouring forums, deciphering vague spot descriptions, and trying to piece together the details for a trip. We knew there had to be a better way to get on the water, faster.

That’s why we created WindHounds.

Our mission is simple

To be the most comprehensive and trusted resource for windsurfers, kitesurfers, and wingfoilers on the planet. We cut through the noise to give you everything you need to know about the best spots, schools, tours, and gear.

Meet the Hounds: Why We're the Team to Do It

WindHounds isn’t just a business; it’s the culmination of decades of passion and professional experience.

Dan Ward "Captain Windy" WindHounds

Dan ("Captain Windy") – The Spot Hunter

For over 30 years, Dan has been obsessed with anything powered by wind. From starting his windsurfing and sailing journey in the Middle East, windsurfing the gusty lakes and the freezing channel of the UK, to waves in Australia, his drive has always been to find the next great session.

This passion for exploration isn’t just limited to the water. As the creator of the overlanding and adventure travel blog, Getting Lost Again, Dan has mastered the art of finding, documenting, and sharing remote and hard-to-reach places. He’s the guy who will drive that extra mile down a dusty track just to see if a rumoured spot is the real deal. His on-the-ground experience is the engine of our spot discovery.

Greg – The Architect

Greg spent decades chasing wind and snow, but his real superpower was building world-class online resources for adventure sports.

He was the co-founder and mastermind behind PowderHounds.com, the web’s most trusted and comprehensive guide for skiers and snowboarders. Greg knew exactly what it takes to build a platform that was not only packed with authoritative information but was also incredibly user-friendly and reliable. He did it successfully for the snow community, and he brought that same architectural vision to the water, laying the foundation for WindHounds.

The Best of Both Worlds

With WindHounds, you get the perfect partnership:

  • The Explorer (Dan): An authentic, adventurous spirit with the skills to scout and vet the best watersports locations on earth.
  • The Architect (Greg): A seasoned pro with a proven track record of building the most authoritative directories in adventure sports, as well as hunting down excellent spots to get on the water.

Together, we set out to build the resource we always wished we had. A place built on true experience, deep expertise, and a genuine passion for helping you have your best day on the water.

Tragically, Greg passed away in December 2024. Dan is continuing the mission, building WindHounds as a testament to their shared vision and Greg’s incredible legacy.

Welcome to the pack.
