Track every wave you surf with your Apple Watch, and see exactly how you are surfing. Surfer Worldwide (SWW) counts your waves, measures your speed and draws your whole session on the map. Then it turns that into what to work on next. TRACK EVERY SESSION FROM YOUR WRIST Press START and paddle out. SWW records your waves and your tries, top speed, ride time and distance, wipeouts, duck dives, paddling, heart rate and time in the water. Your rides show on your wrist while you surf, and the session sends itself to your phone when you finish. SEE EVERY WAVE Your route on a satellite map, wave by wave: where you took off, how fast you went, how long you rode, left or right. Tell it when something was not a wave, so your Surf Log stays accurate. Share a session as a card or as a video replay. KNOW IF YOU ARE IMPROVING Compare your sessions, see the patterns in your surfing and get the one thing to work on next, all drawn from your own numbers. SURF WITH YOUR CREW Follow other surfers, send them a shaka, climb the ranking of your beach and take on the challenge of the month. YOUR SURF ID Your level, sessions, waves, WSE, top speed, time in the water and surf days, in one profile. TRAIN BETWEEN SESSIONS An AI Coach that knows your recent surfing: readiness guidance, a next step and surf-specific workouts with video, timers and hands-free voice controls. SURF LESSONS, WHEN YOU WANT THEM Find independent surf instructors around the world and book from the app. Instructors can lend their watch for a lesson and send the session to their student, with the one thing to work on. Track. Understand. Progress. Repeat. Session tracking requires an Apple Watch. SWW works with Apple Health: with your permission it reads your heart rate during a session and saves your surf workouts. Surfer Worldwide
