KookStats is an analysis-tool that enables you to deep-dive into a wide range of stats on WSL competitions and surfers.
Did you ever wonder which surfers perform best at righthanders or pointbreaks, if Brazilians have the advantage at Saquarema, or at which locations goofies dominate regulars? This tool is custom-built to answer those questions, and many more, giving you an edge over your friends when setting your fantasy surfer team.
Want to know who dominated at a specific location historically?
Head to the Location analysis to see:
Location characteristics such as wave type and direction.
Historic results for surfers at any location.
Distribution of heat scores - if the location typically provides high- or low scoring heats, including average and max heat scores.
Winning percentages by surfer stance - if the location is dominated by regulars or goofies.
Wins by nationality - if the location is dominated by a certain nationality.
Want to better understand the experience, performance, and popularity of a specific surfer?
Head to the Surfer analysis to see:
Their experience in terms of seasons on tour, events, and heats surfed, split by event locations, wave types, and wave directions. Understand if a surfer has experience in beach breaks or pointbreaks, lefthanders or righthanders.
Their performance in terms of event wins, semi- and quarter finals finishes, average heat scores, and heat win percentages. Understand not only if a surfer is high- or low performance, but understand how their performance differs in different locations, wave types, and directions.
Their popularity in terms of the percentage of fantasy players who include them on their team, and the percentage of WSL website visitors who vote for them to win heats. Understand if other surf enthusiasts count on a specific surfer to perform well or not, and again, see how this differs across different events, wave types, and directions.
Can't choose between 2 surfers for the last spot on your fantasy team?
Head to the Heads-up comparison to see:
How does the surfers' experience, performance, and popularity compare to each other.
How does this differ across different locations, wave types, and directions.
Who has historically had the upper hand when they go head to head in heats.
Want to better understand if a location, wave type, or direction favors a specific nationality or stance?
Head to the Winning chance analysis to see:
A custom calculation of "winning chance" - derived by looking at previous wins by a given category (stance and nationality) while factoring in how many surfers have participated from that category.
Do certain locations, wave types, and directions favor regulars or goofies.
Do certain locations, wave types, and directions favor a specific nationality.
Wondering how well surf enthusiasts predict the actual results?
Head to the Predictions analysis to see:
How often do WSL's website visitors correctly guess the winner of heats, and how does this vary in different locations, seasons, and by individual surfers.
How often do favorites and underdogs over- and under perform.
