## What is Sandglass for Paddlers?

Built for paddlers who live for time on the water.

Sandglass is the GPS performance tracker designed specifically for surf ski, outrigger canoe, kayak, and SUP athletes. Whether you're training on flat water, chasing downwind runs, or heading out for a long-distance paddle, Sandglass keeps you focused on your session with a clean, distraction-free experience.

With a single tap, start tracking your time on the water and monitor your performance in real time. Sandglass's signature Live View feature transforms your phone into a live performance dashboard. Mount your device to the front of your craft and see your speed, distance, and pace as you paddle.

When your session ends, review a speed-coloured route map of exactly where you paddled and how hard, with a per-split breakdown so you know which part of the course was your fastest.

Purpose-built for paddlers, Sandglass is lightweight, reliable, and engineered for battery efficiency, making it ideal for quick training sessions and extended adventures on the water.

Features:
- One-tap GPS session tracking
- Speed-coloured route map for every session
- Real-time Live View dashboard
- Per-split breakdown with fastest split highlighted
- Heart rate and calorie tracking via HealthKit
- Metric, imperial, and nautical unit support
- Battery-optimised for long sessions
- Clean, athlete-focused design

Whether you’re training for your next race, improving your fitness, or simply enjoying time on the water, Sandglass helps you get more from every paddle session.

Train smarter. Paddle longer. Make every session count.
