I’ve been developing a foiling app for the Apple Watch for a while now, and it’s getting close to completion. The app features recording modes for wing foiling, dock starts, and prone surfing (downwind coming soon). Since there aren’t any good prone surf spots where I live (and I suck at it), fine-tuning the algorithm for prone surfing has been pretty challenging. If you’re interested in testing the app or have suggestions for features you feel are missing from the apps you currently use, feel free to send me a DM!”
I’m interested to hear how your app deciphers wave start and wave end. I’ve been using dawn patrol and the weakest part of that app is the accuracy in terms of start/stop.
At the start of a session, you set the direction of the waves, which is then used for the calculations. It’s been quite accurate so far, but I could use some help validating and fine-tuning the algorithm. Think of it as an opportunity to get an app tailored to your riding style.
The dock start algorithm and user interface are now ready for real-life testing. If you’re dock starting, I’d be super happy if you could give it a try.
Interested. I’ve been using the Waterspeed app, but it’s better for winging. Yeah, I’ll use it for surfing and for prone, but it doesn’t track wave count.
I recently received this prone foil session from a tester in Waikiki. Do you think any data might be missing for prone foiling? If you’d like to test it yourself, feel free to DM me your email, and I’ll send you a TestFlight invite.
