Trace Zone
Trace your water sports
Free · In-App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Trace is your dedicated watersports app, focused on unlocking all your on-water activities, to track your performance, share your live location and connect with your friends back onshore.
Faster - Performance insights at your fingertips
We work with the best in the game to bring you dedicated, sport specific analytics and insights, helping you better understand your session and where to focus on next, so you’re always improving.
Safer - Share your live location
Many of your favourite water sports take you away from the safety of the shore. Knowing others can see where you are makes it that bit easier if you find yourself in need of help. Enable your friends and family to watch you real-time, simply share a link of your live Trace with them.
Connected - Share and Compare Traces
The ability to connect with your friend, family and fellow enthusiasts over your sport of choice is central to the experience Trace unlocks. We make it simple to share your progress and connect through the feed of your fellow Trace friends.

Leaderboards
Country-level and customer area leaderboards for top speed, distance, and session count across all activity types. See how you stack up with a new Leaderboards tab on the home page. User profiles now show medal badges for top-3 placements.
Notifications
In-app notification inbox with a bell icon on the home feed. Get notified when someone comments on your trace, throws you a shaka, sends a follow request, or when you set a new personal best. Customisable notification preferences and the ability to mute individual users.
Jump Detection (Beta)
Jump detection for kite, wing, and windfoil sessions -- on both phone and Apple Watch. Jump events are recorded during your session and displayed in trace detail.
Session Shakas
Throw a shaka to an entire session with one tap from the session summary card, instead of opening each trace individually. Session comments are now also available.
