BreakFinder Surfskate Tracker

About

BreakFinder - Surf Skate turns your Apple Watch into a surfskate trick counter. It detects — in real time — the six moves every surfskater cares about: pump, carve, drop-in, kickturn, slide and stall. No phone needed on the board. BUILT FOR SURFSKATE, NOT GENERIC MOTION Generic activity trackers just log a workout. BreakFinder reads the actual signature of each surfskate move with a purpose-built FSM detection algorithm — accelerometer + GPS fusion, developed from motion-science research and proven across the BreakFinder platform, then ported natively to Swift and tuned for watchOS. WHAT IT DOES • Real-time detection of pumps, carves, drop-ins, kickturns, slides and stalls • Three modes — Flatground (pumps, carves, slides), Transition (drop-ins, kickturns, stalls), or Mixed • Stance-aware — Regular or Goofy, or auto-detected from your first carves • Haptic confirmation — a tap and a visual flash on every validated trick • Live metrics — heart rate, calories, time, speed and distance while you ride • Session history — per-trick breakdown, GPS track, and HR/calorie stats saved locally • Water-locked by default — turn the Digital Crown to stop; no accidental taps from sweaty hands • Full HealthKit integration — sessions appear in the Fitness app SURF TRAINING ON LAND Surfskate is how surfers train pumping, carving and rail-to-rail flow between sessions. BreakFinder counts the reps so you can see your progression. CLOUD SYNC Pair your watch with a free BreakFinder account to sync sessions to breakfinder.surf for GPS replay, longer-term analytics, and cross-device history. One-time pairing via a 6-digit code. PRIVACY Your data is yours. No ads, no third-party trackers, no data sold. Location, health, and fitness data power the app and (optionally) sync to your account. DEVICE REQUIREMENTS • Apple Watch Series 6 or later (SE 2 and Ultra recommended) • watchOS 11 or later • iPhone on iOS 18 or later (for initial setup only) Built by surfers, for surfers. breakfinder.surf
