Built by a foiler, refined by the community, heavy on froth, light on corporate nonsense. Foil Sessions tracks what actually matters on the water. Wing foil, prone foil, dock starts, beach starts, paddle ups, tow boogie, downwind runs, parawing, kite foil, wind foil, wake foil and even e‑foil. If it flies, we probably track it. The interface is built to make you smile twice: once on the water, and again on the couch when you relive your sessions in glorious color‑coded detail. Algorithms fine‑tuned for foiling help you see your progress, celebrate wins, and laugh at wipeouts. Foil Sessions currently tracks tacks, jibes, and even which tack you’re on. Success rates give you tangible numbers to measure improvement. For downwinders and parawing, each swell run is saved with key stats—rides, distance, average speed—so you can analyze the session back on shore. Dock starts, paddle ups, and beach starts? Covered, with distance, duration, and heart rate right on your wrist. And for the purists: prone surf is supported too, every wave is counted, timed, and measured—linked into sets so you can battle yourself for longest consecutive run. When you’re miles offshore chasing bumps, the watch app keeps you on track with a clear arrow pointing straight toward your destination. Pair it with waterproof headphones and you’ll get gentle voice nudges too — distance to go, heading, and how far you’ve drifted off line. Your sessions don’t have to stay local. You can export directly to Strava with a single tap and share your runs with friends, clubs, and the wider foiling community. Sharing doesn’t stop at Strava. You can turn your sessions into clean, high-resolution images or short animations showing your track, stats, and replay. Perfect for Instagram, Messages, or anywhere else you want to show what actually went down. GPX export & import: Whether you’re chasing bragging rights or jumping ecosystems, GPX is now first-class. Export sessions to online leaderboards or share tracks with friends. Import GPX files from Garmin watches, other devices, and pretty much any app that can spit out a track. ADDITIONAL FEATURES: • Session Notes – Capture key details and reflections for every session. • Automatic Weather Data – Get wind and buoy readings automatically logged. • Replay mode animating the entire session. • Photo View – See all photos taken during your sessions in one place. • Support for imperial, metric, or nautical units. • Split Times – Track intervals for more detailed performance analysis. • Heart rate zones on Apple Watch with voice callouts. • Optional large fonts for old dogs on Apple Watch when recording. All your data is securely stored in Apple's Health app, contributing to your daily fitness goals and activity rings in the Fitness app. I've worked in security before, and your privacy is my top priority. No user tracking, no analytics, no ads — zilch, zip, nada. Nothing leaves the app unless you press share. How you use the app is your business, not mine. FREE AND PREMIUM FEATURES: • Record unlimited sessions for free. • Access detailed maps and stats for the first five recordings. • Unlock full access to all past and future recordings with Foil Sessions Premium. SUBSCRIPTION TERMS: • Payment will be charged to your iTunes account. • The subscription auto-renews unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. • Your account will be charged for renewal within 24 hours before the end of the subscription period. • Turn off auto-renewal anytime in your App Store Account Settings. See you on the water.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Foil Sessions at 4.9 against Foundation Training's 4.4.

Foundation Training's advantage is ratings volume (87 vs 14) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
