Compatibility with Solar, Alti V4, GPS V4 and Evo V2. With or without an instrument, Syride Link supports you in flight The Syride Link app enhances your Syride instrument experience, but it can also be used independently for live tracking, even without an instrument. With the app, you can: Share your position in live tracking Share your position and follow connected Syride pilots in real-time on Syride.com in both 2D and 3D. The app uses either your instrument's GPS (if available) to save your phone's battery life, or your smartphone's GPS. Record your flight with your Alti V4 or Solar Your phone's GPS position can be transmitted to your instrument. The instrument can then record a flight in IGC format and automatically add it to your Syride flight log. On the Alti V4, you can display GPS data from the phone on your screen. Manage instrument settings from the app Easily modify your instrument's parameters directly from your smartphone. Upload your flights automatically or manually After landing, your flight track can be uploaded to your Syride profile automatically (if your phone is connected to a network) or manually.

About

Pumpee

Read full description

Pumpee is the tracker built for pump foil and dockstart. Set up your session in twenty seconds, pocket your phone, and ride. GPS, pumps and speed are captured even with the screen off — and every run is split on its own: dockstart, glide, touch-down. Nothing to tap while you are on the water. MEASURED TO THE PUMP Back on the beach, your session is already there. Distance per run, top speed, distance per pump, takeoff success rate, glide, heart rate and your GPS track — broken down run by run, nothing to enter by hand. PHONE FIRST, WATCH WELCOME No watch required. Ride with one — Apple Watch, Garmin, Samsung (Wear OS) or Suunto — and it joins in: the watch is what locks the GPS signal at the start, and it can record on its own when you would rather leave the phone ashore. CLIMB YOUR OWN LADDER Ten levels, from Deckhand to Dock Legend, and 51 trophies from bronze to platinum. Your progression is yours: the one you beat session after session, not someone else's leaderboard. YOUR SPOTS, YOUR CREW Map the docks with the people who ride them — level, water, start type, the community's intel a thumb away. Follow your friends' sessions in one feed, like, comment. Turn a session into a share card with your spot photo and your numbers, ready to drop in a story. WORKS WHERE YOU RIDE Sessions record offline and sync when you get signal back. Your account keeps everything across your phone, your watch and your next device. Pumpee is free, has no ads, and never sells your data. Pump foil, dockstart, SUP foil, wing foil — if you pump it, Pumpee counts it.
