Surfed at a park that films the waves? Surf Video brings every ride you catch to your iPhone. No hunting through hours of footage, no asking at the front desk. HOW IT WORKS The park's cameras record every session. Before you paddle out, you scan your wristband at the park, and the footage of your session is matched to it. Add that wristband to Surf Video once, and your videos show up in the app a few minutes after you finish. EVERY SESSION IN ONE PLACE • Your newest ride up front, older sessions below, grouped by day • Time, length and wave count at a glance • A "New" badge on everything since your last visit WATCH, SAVE, SHARE • Play full screen, or keep watching in Picture in Picture • Save any session to Photos in one tap • Share a link your friends can open in any browser YOUR WRISTBANDS • Add a band by typing the code printed on it • Give each band a name so you can tell them apart • Remove a band at any time KNOW WHEN IT'S READY Turn on notifications and Surf Video tells you the moment a new video is ready. NO PASSWORD TO REMEMBER Enter your email and we send you a 4-digit code. That's the whole sign-in. GOOD TO KNOW • Surf Video works at parks that film their sessions for it. Ask at your park if you're not sure. • Videos stay available for about 3 months after your session, so save your favorites to Photos. • You can delete your account at any time in Settings. Surf Video is made by wakesys.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Surf Video at none against Jackson Hole's shown. Jackson Hole's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.6 vs 26.0). On price, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
