How does the tool account for time spent on the beach?

The `calculate_session_metrics` tool allows you to input `restDuration` and `relaunchTime` to ensure only the active movement time is used for distance calculations.

What is a tacking angle?

A tacking angle is the zig-zag path taken when traveling upwind. You can use `estimate_tacking_penalty` to see how this angle affects your efficiency.

Can I compare two different sessions?

Yes, you can use `compare_session_efficiency` to determine which of two sessions resulted in more total distance covered.

This MCP server provides specialized tools for kite-surfers to analyze their session performance. By accounting for environmental factors like tacking angles and operational time like relaunching, it provides precise distance metrics. Use calculate_session_metrics to get a full breakdown of total, upwind, and downwind distances, or get_active_time_only to isolate actual movement time from rest periods.
