WaveXP

WaveXP is the training companion for surfskaters β from your first push to your first bowl session, every step has a clear direction. CHARACTER GUIDES Flora, Eddie, Grace and Henry are the crew that rides along with you. The first time you open each page, they tell you in a line or two what it's for, then walk you through it one tap at a time. Pages you've already seen stay quiet, you can skip any guide, and you can replay them whenever you like. TRAINING MENUS BUILT FOR THE SPOT YOU'RE AT Pick a venue and how much time you have. WaveXP reads the terrain and your current skill level, then lays out a warm-up, a main set, and a challenge. At the park you log reps one-handed β press and hold to count up fast. Recording never interrupts the session. PROGRESS YOU CAN SEE Every session earns XP, carrying you from White Wave up to Black Wave. Streaks, weekly challenges, and guided milestones give you a reason to come back, and every one of them is worth celebrating. 130+ TRICKS AND A SKILL TREE Five difficulty tiers, each trick linked to tutorial videos. Mark what you want to learn, what you're working on, and what you've landed. The skill tree answers the question that stalls most riders: what do I need to land first? HONORS 167 tiles: 25 rank banners and 142 medals, spanning milestones, spots, gear, trick breadth, discipline, volume, depth, and community. Locked ones show what they look like too, because the wall is there to say "these are all waiting for you," not "this is all you have." Pick three to display on your profile. SPOTS Save the parks you ride. Terrain ratings at a glance, sorted by distance, so you know where to go before you leave the house. MY QUIVER Register your boards and set a daily driver. Enter your height and weight and the board picker tells you which decks in the catalogue actually fit you. Log which board you rode each session; the monthly recap shows the one you reached for most. Even boards you've sold stay in your collection history. WITNESS Landed something big? Show a QR code on the trick page and have a friend at the park scan it. Their name then rides on your trick card. FLOW SESSION Hit record at any spot and WaveXP logs your line, your runs, your lap times and an efficiency score, then hands you a map of the session. Pump track, skatepark or street, it all counts. Location is only read while you are recording and stops the moment you finish. TRAINING REMINDERS Based on when you usually skate, a gentle nudge before your usual slot. No anxiety, no spam. SHARE IT Turn any session or trick into a share card in one tap. Thirteen styles. Show off every wave you carve. Whether you just stepped on a board or you're lining up your first bowl, WaveXP turns every push into progress.
