Measured. Not estimated.
Surfr was the first app to track jump heights from a phone alone. We didn't add features by checking competitor lists. We added them because riders kept asking.
Feel it counted.
That 10-meter jump. You know it happened. Surfr knows it happened. The haptic tap on your wrist is the proof. First app to measure jump height from a phone alone. On Apple Watch, Wear OS, and Garmin it runs standalone: on-wrist metrics, live height, sync when you're done.
- Height, airtime, and distance per jump. Not the session average.
- Apple Watch, Wear OS, and Garmin: standalone, on-wrist metrics, haptic tap on every jump.
- Scrubbable arcs on the map: see the line, the peak, the landing.
Someone is watching the session.
Kiting alone is the part nobody posts about. Arm the beacon and your emergency contacts follow the session live: your position, your speed, and a heartbeat every few minutes saying you are fine. If you need them, one alarm from your wrist reaches all of them at once, loud enough to cut through Do Not Disturb, with your last known position attached.
- Emergency contacts follow your live session and get a heartbeat while all is well.
- One alarm reaches every contact at once, with your last known position.
- Works on Apple Watch, Wear OS, Garmin and the phone. Raising the alarm needs a watch.
Beacon safety is on
Green and pulsing: armed, and your position is arriving.
The nearest help is already on the water.
The fastest rescue is the rider two hundred metres upwind. Spin the crown and the alarm goes out to the riders around you: your name, your photo, and how far away you are. Their watch turns into a compass that points at you and counts down the metres until they are there.
- Raise it from the wrist: crown spin, button presses, or your voice.
- Nearby riders see who needs help and how far away they are.
- Friends Compass points them at you and counts down the distance.
Don't miss the day.
You checked at midnight. It looked fine. You woke up to 45 knots and nowhere to go. Surfr alerts you before that happens: pick your spot, speed range, and window. Cross-checked forecasts do the watching.
- Alerts up to 5 days ahead, via notification or email.
- Multiple weather models, cross-checked: fewer false calls.
- Kite-size picks pulled from your own quiver.
