Mount your phone, paddle out, and let Reeve do the filming. Reeve Surf is the AI surf camera that films your whole session for you — no filmer, no GoPro, no editing marathon. Point your iPhone at the lineup and Reeve's real-time tracking locks onto surfers and captures every wave automatically. Come in from the water, and your rides are already waiting. FILM EVERY WAVE, HANDS-FREE On-device AI detects and follows surfers in real time, recording each ride the moment it starts. Set your phone on the beach and just surf. ORGANIZE YOUR SESSION IN SECONDS Every clip is grouped by session and ready to assign to the surfer who caught it. Sort a whole crew's waves with a few taps. REFRAME FOR ANYWHERE Crop any wave to vertical (9:16), square (1:1), 4:5, or wide (16:9) and zoom in on the action — ready for Instagram, TikTok, or the big screen. TRACK YOUR PROGRESS Watch your surfing add up: total waves, sessions, time in the water, average waves per session, and your longest ride. See yourself improve, swell after swell. BACKED UP TO THE CLOUD Your waves sync automatically and download on any device. Choose Wi-Fi only or use cellular — and never lose a session again. SHOOT IN QUALITY Record in HD or 4K at 30 or 60fps. Your clips look as good as your surfing. Set it down. Surf. Reeve films the rest.
