Big Update!
** GPS, GPX, Strava.
We have completely revamped the way we handle GPS data. Going forward, you'll enjoy high-accuracy GPS data. Explore your GPS tracks and jumps in our new 3D maps integrated directly into the Surfr app. Check out your latest sessions and relive your session on a whole new level via the interactive 3D maps.
Export your sessions to Strava with a single click or download them as GPX to share with any app of your choice.
** Live Chat (Apple Watch eSim):
Chat live with your friends on the water via your watch. This revolutionary feature not only adds to the fun of your session but also enhances your safety. Lost your board? Just send a message to your friend! Kiteboarding is a solo sport, but with this feature it becomes even easier to share the stoke right on the water - when it happens.
Enable the chat function in the settings (Surfr App on your watch / Settings). During your session, press the action button (Apple Watch Ultra) or crown+side button (non-Ultra watches) to start a voice message.
We've also added a little offline/online indicator (red dot/green dot) so you always know if your watch is online, and you can send/receive messages.
** Improved Apple Health Integration:
We are now sending your full GPS track to Apple Health, so all the relevant information will also be stored in Apple Health. Just make sure that we have the required permissions to do so. Go to your iPhone, Health App, Profile, Apps And Services, and enable all the permissions that Surfr asks for.
**Offline Sessions (Apple Watch):
Finally, it's here, after many requests! You can now save your session on your Apple Watch even if you don't have an internet connection. Say hello to that boat trip in Egypt with no internet connection, record sessions all week long, and upload them all when connected to the internet again.
**Action Button Support (Apple Watch Ultra):
Use the action button to start a session. You can even link the right activity type/discipline (twintip, hydrofoil, wing, etc.) to the action button.
Use the action button + side button to stop a session.
Use the action button while recording a session to speak with friends!
** Quick Finish:
Press the Action Button + side button (Ultra) or Crown + side button (Non-ultra) to directly finish and save your session. No longer need to take the watch out of waterlock.
** Select Your Gear + Activity Type (Apple Watch):
Before you hit the water, you can now easily select your gear and your activity type. This way, your friends will always know what you're doing and what gear you are using. This information will also be added to your session when it's saved.
As always we are super stoked bringing some revolutionary (world-first) features to kiteboarding. We hope you like it, let us know your thoughts (Insta DM, support@thesurfr.app or a review right here in the App Store).
Best regards, The Surfr Team
