Surfed at a park that films the waves? Surf Video brings every ride you catch to your iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch. 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. PROGRESS, ON YOUR PHONE AND YOUR WRIST At parks that measure rides, the cameras count your turns and your time on the wave. • Your level grows with your total time on the wave • A weekly streak for every week you ride • Four records: most turns in a ride, longest ride, most rides in a session, longest session • Awards for milestones, like your first ride or your 100th turn • Every ride in your history with its numbers, and "Not my ride" if one isn't yours • The Apple Watch app shows your level, records and recent rides. Pair your watch and it signs in from your iPhone. • A summary of each ride arrives shortly after it ends, with a "New record" when you beat your own best Surf Video compares you only with yourself. There are no rankings. 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. • Ride numbers (turns and time on the wave) are only available at parks that measure rides. Your videos work everywhere. • 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.
