What's New in Dawn Patrol

6.4.2

July 21, 2026

Small fixes, big improvements: heart rates data based on age is fixed, Garmin heart rates import. See your total water time in a certain period in one glance on your profile and many more fixes. Smooth paddling ahead. Also for Garmin users, on certain devices Watch Faces were struggling to populate data, this version should fix that as well, make sure to also update your Garmin app and Watch Face! Happy surfing.

Crashes watch

Keeps crashing my watch when I use the wheel to end a session. Other than that it tracks sessions quite well.

Great Session Tracking

Use it to track my sessions. Trying to progress my surfing and this helps. I think. It's cool to review your waves and your misses.

A must app for every surfer!

Great surfing app, integrates perfectly with Garmin to record and Surfline to get the videos of my sessions. Good job guys! A+ / 5 stars!

このアプリは故障の原因

過去2年以内、本日までApple Watchが5台も故障した。

因果関係が分からないが、このアプリを使い終わってからApple Watchが故障する。
アプリ使用中に浸水もあった。
このアプリが原因としか言いようがない。

幸い、AppleCAREのおかげで数千円の支払いや、無料で交換に至る。

Great for Progress

I’ve been tracking rides for several years and it’s been easy to track progress and use the videos from Surfline to improve. Improving ride lengths and speeds alone is useful when trying different boards or tracking progress at frequented spots.
