Dropl Athlete

The on-boat device that quietly captures your session — and can broadcast it live.

Dropl Athlete is the device mounted on the boat for sprint canoeing. It logs key training signals during the session and can emit live data for coaches — without requiring interaction from the athlete.

Status

Dropl Athlete is in active development. The focus is reliability on the water: robust capture, consistent signals, and a workflow that does not distract from training.

Dropl is being developed primarily for sprint canoeing. Other canoe disciplines may benefit, but they are not the current focus.
