Measure your session directly with Apple Watch, with no additional tracking subscription. SurfBuddy records estimated jump height, airtime, speed, distance and your GPS route. Start a session with one tap on your wrist. Tracking keeps working when your iPhone is not connected, then syncs automatically when both devices are available again. After your ride, a clean performance dashboard shows your key metrics, top jumps and route. Your exact track stays private on your paired devices. Discover active spots, find other riders and get current conditions from people on the water through spot chats. Plan together or start immediately. Choose which details you share. Report inappropriate content, block users and delete your account from Settings. SurfBuddy helps arrange shared sessions. Personal return reminders do not replace rescue or emergency services.
