APPLE WATCH & APPLE HEALTH Sessions from your Apple Watch flow automatically into RSL via Apple Health — the same seamless sync as Garmin: GPS track, speed, distance and heart rate, all linked to your rig, the wind and the spot. PERSONAL INSIGHTS Which board + sail combo makes you the fastest? When do you surf the most? What's your Alpha 500 per combo? Honest answers based on all your sessions. LEADERBOARDS Top speed, longest session, most distance, most days on the water. Compete with the community per spot, per season or worldwide.
