## What is BreakFinder Surfskate Tracker?

BreakFinder - Surf Skate turns your Apple Watch into a surfskate trick counter. It detects — in real time — the six moves every surfskater cares about: pump, carve, drop-in, kickturn, slide and stall. No phone needed on the board.

BUILT FOR SURFSKATE, NOT GENERIC MOTION
Generic activity trackers just log a workout. BreakFinder reads the actual signature of each surfskate move with a purpose-built FSM detection algorithm — accelerometer + GPS fusion, developed from motion-science research and proven across the BreakFinder platform, then ported natively to Swift and tuned for watchOS.

WHAT IT DOES
• Real-time detection of pumps, carves, drop-ins, kickturns, slides and stalls
• Three modes — Flatground (pumps, carves, slides), Transition (drop-ins, kickturns, stalls), or Mixed
• Stance-aware — Regular or Goofy, or auto-detected from your first carves
• Haptic confirmation — a tap and a visual flash on every validated trick
• Live metrics — heart rate, calories, time, speed and distance while you ride
• Session history — per-trick breakdown, GPS track, and HR/calorie stats saved locally
• Water-locked by default — turn the Digital Crown to stop; no accidental taps from sweaty hands
• Full HealthKit integration — sessions appear in the Fitness app

SURF TRAINING ON LAND
Surfskate is how surfers train pumping, carving and rail-to-rail flow between sessions. BreakFinder counts the reps so you can see your progression.

CLOUD SYNC
Pair your watch with a free BreakFinder account to sync sessions to breakfinder.surf for GPS replay, longer-term analytics, and cross-device history. One-time pairing via a 6-digit code.

PRIVACY
Your data is yours. No ads, no third-party trackers, no data sold. Location, health, and fitness data power the app and (optionally) sync to your account.

DEVICE REQUIREMENTS
• Apple Watch Series 6 or later (SE 2 and Ultra recommended)
• watchOS 11 or later
• iPhone on iOS 18 or later (for initial setup only)
